  • Patent number: 12626126
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an improved machine learning-based recommender system and method for cold-start predictions on an ecommerce platform. The improved system predicts user-item interactions with respect to cold-start items in which only side information is available. Item representations generated by an item neural network encoder from item side information are shared with a user neural network. The item representations are used, along with user feedback history, to generate user representations. Specifically, a weight matrix in the first layer of the user neural network encoder is fixed with the shared item embeddings. The effect of this is that, when the user neural network encoder is applied to an input user-item interaction vector, the output of the first layer of the user neural network encoder is a function of the item representations of the items for which the user provided positive feedback.

  • Patent number: 12561561
    Abstract: A method and system for determining an access score is disclosed. The method includes receiving an access request to access a resource by a user device. Next, a user embedding is retrieved from an embedding table, the user embedding associated with a user identifier of the user device and providing a multidimensional data point that represents a context of a user identifier. The context may correspond to the user identifier appearing in previous access requests within temporal proximity to other access requests from a subset of other user devices among a plurality of user devices. The method then inputs the user embedding into a first machine learning model that is trained based at least in part on the embedding table. The first machine learning model subsequently outputs an access score that corresponds to a level of authenticity of authorizing the user device to access the resource.

  • Patent number: 12561593
    Abstract: At a first terminal of a structure capable of hosting Majorana Zero Modes, a first set of data points measuring conductance between the first terminal and a middle terminal of the structure is obtained for different values of bias voltage at the first terminal and at least one other parameter. At a second terminal of the structure, a second set of data points measuring conductance between the second terminal and the middle terminal is obtained for different values of bias voltage at the second terminal and of the at least one other parameter. A measure of mutual information is obtained between the first and second data sets. It is determined whether a signature consistent with a pair of Majorana Zero Modes is present in the structure based on the measure of mutual information. The method may be carried out by a quantum computer.
