  • Patent number: 11593708
    Abstract: An integrated neural network and semantic system applies a neural network to interpret an image, determines a syntactical element corresponding to the image in accordance with the interpretation, and determines a first probability that represents a confidence level that the correspondence is accurate. A semantic chain and associated second probability are then generated based on the syntactical element and the first probability, whereby the second probability represents the system's confidence level that the semantic chain accurately reflects objective reality. A natural language communication is generated for delivery to a user that comprises syntactical elements that are in accordance with the semantic chain and the second probability. The communication may further be expected to result in receiving information that will influence the confidence level that the semantic chain accurately reflects objective reality.

  • Patent number: 11574202
    Abstract: Roughly described, an evolutionary data mining system includes at least two processing units, each having a pool of candidate individuals in which each candidate individual has a fitness estimate and experience level. A first processing unit tests candidate individuals against training data, updates an individual's experience level, and assigns each candidate to one of multiple layers of the candidate pool based on the individual's experience level. Individuals within the same layer of the same pool compete with each other to remain candidates. The first processing unit selects a set of candidates to retain based on the relative novelty of their responses to the training data. The first processing unit reports successful individuals to the second processing unit, and receives individuals for further testing from the second processing unit. The second processing unit selects individuals to retain based on their fitness estimate.
