  • Patent number: 12619901
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to intelligently aggregating data using a convolutional network quantum processor. Using an artificial intelligence model, a computing platform may identify dependencies derived from a consumer request and corresponding values. For each configuration of dependency and corresponding value, the computing platform may determine a likelihood of success. The computing platform may alter the configurations and may determine a likelihood of success for each altered configuration. The computing platform may train a convolutional network to analyze the consumer request using the configurations, the altered configurations, and/or corresponding likelihoods of success. The convolutional network may generate a function that describes the dependencies derived from the consumer request. Using a quantum processing model, the computing platform may analyze different states of the function in parallel and may determine whether to approve or deny the consumer request based on the analysis.

  • Patent number: 12591895
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for monitoring services provided by a service provider to a consumer using a smart contract architecture. In one example, smart contract terms are provided to a DeFi application running on a blockchain, and a smart contract (e.g., a SLA smart contract) is constructed on the blockchain. Once the service provider begins providing service to the consumer, the system may monitor the service performance of the service. If the service performance dips below a certain agreed-upon threshold based on the smart contract, a trigger event may occur. Additionally, the analysis of the service performance data may indicate a service deficiency, wherein a remedial action is suggested to the service provider to be applied. The service deficiency and remedial action may be stored on the blockchain for future review.
