Patent number: 11921775Abstract: Media unit retrieval methods, systems and computer program products are provided that allow a user to search for an item by iteratively presenting media units such as images representing items to the user and receiving user input consisting of selections of the presented media units (including possibly the empty selection). Features, or attributes, a user is interested in, for example semantic features, are inferred from the interaction and media units are retrieved for presentation based on similarity with user-selected media units, through sampling of a probability distribution describing the intent or interests, or combinations of approaches. Accordingly, the user-experience is akin to a conversation about what the user is looking for. Retrieval may be based on both selected and unselected media units and the selection may comprise making a selection with a single action. Further, a database of media units can capture similarity relationships for efficient media unit retrieval.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: DREAM IT GET IT LIMITEDInventors: Michael Elkaim, Michael Kopp, Kristjan Korjus

Patent number: 11868419Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for sharing a physical location with online users by requiring the online users to be in physical proximity of a specific physical location before the users can experience media content associated with the physical location. A user can mark a physical location when that user is at the location by associating a virtual anchor with that location. The virtual anchor creates a data structure that contains the location's geographic coordinates as well as other details regarding the anchor. The user can also associate media content with the virtual anchor. The virtual anchor can be shared with other users and these other users are notified of the presence of the virtual anchor when they are within a physical proximity from the physical location. Only when the other users are at the location can these users access the media content associated with the virtual anchor.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Inventors: Fahed Al Hassanat, Robert Laganiere

Patent number: 11816160Abstract: A unified graph query system provides an abstraction layer that increases the interoperability of different graph technologies by exposing graphs stored in graph databases using a unified query language. The abstraction layer generates graph models for each of the available graph databases and extracts a graph component and other source data used to identify the source of the data requested by a query. The unified graph query system executes the query across the multiple graphs included in different graph databases by using the graph models to locate the graph component in each of the multiple graphs and extract the feature data associated with the graph component. The feature data is used to generate features that are used by a machine learning service to train machine learning models and is also used to make predictions in real time.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: INTUIT INC.Inventor: Lior Azar Grady

Patent number: 11809969Abstract: An improved analytics system dynamically generates, integrates, and deploys multiple models for use related to a particular user and/or user segment. The integrated model analytics system can deploy a set of models specifically identified for a user from a group of models related to the service. This set of models can be used to provide recommendations for the user related to content of the service. As the user continues to interact with the service, the integrated model analytics system can dynamically update multiple models from the set of models based on real-time user interactions. These updated models can be used to generate updated recommendations for the user that can be used to dynamically update content presented to the user. In addition, this updated model can be used when providing recommendations for users in other user segments.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Richard Pong Nam Sinn, Chun Hao Wang, Thomas Todd Donahue

Patent number: 11809458Abstract: The invention relates to database abstraction and data linkage. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the invention takes a variety of attributes (e.g., names, IP address, device identifiers, addresses, phone numbers, account numbers, etc.) and returns the online activity, demographic data, account data and/or other activity, events and data associated with that attribute. The tool may then iterate over each attribute and return a network of connections having multiple degrees of association. The innovative tool may be linked to known bad actor data, and perform automated searches on this data to proactively alert potentially fraudulent activity. The tool may also be developed to add attributes and apply machine learning to the associations to more intelligently describe the returned network. Further, the tool may be developed to describe larger networks having multiple degrees of connections.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.Inventors: Robert Pascarella, Neil Gorin, D.

Patent number: 11803572Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for schema-based spatial partitioning in a time-series database are disclosed. A time-series database divides elements of time-series data of a plurality of time series into partitions according to a clustering scheme. The time series are associated with respective schemas. The schemas comprise dimension names and measure names. The clustering scheme is determined based (at least in part) on the schemas and dimension values, and the schemas are determined based (at least in part) on the elements of time-series data. The time-series database stores the elements of time-series data from the plurality of partitions into one or more storage tiers. The time-series database performs a query of the time-series data in one or more of the storage tiers. The query is performed based (at least in part) on the clustering scheme.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Dumanshu Goyal

Patent number: 11797527Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for operation of a feature management platform. A feature management platform is an end-to-end platform developed to manage the full lifecycle of data features. For example, to create a stateful feature, the feature management platform can receive a processing artifact from a computing device. The processing artifact defines the stateful feature, including the data source to retrieve event data from, when to retrieve the event data, the type of transform to apply, etc. Based on the processing artifact, the feature management system generates a processing job (e.g., the API defines a pipeline), which when initiated generates a vector that encapsulates the stateful feature. The vector is transmitted to the computing device that locally hosts a model, which generates a prediction that is transmitted to the feature management platform. Subsequently, the predication and stateful feature can be transmitted to other computing devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: INTUIT, INC.Inventors: Andreas Mavrommatis, Pankaj Rastogi, Sumanth Venkatasubbaiah, Qingbo Hu, Karthik Prakash, Nicholas Jeffrey Hoh, Frank Wisniewski, Abhishek Jain, Caio Vinicius Soares, Yuwen Wu
