  • Patent number: 11948048
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence system comprises a computer network server connected to receive and analyze millions of simultaneous text and/or voice messages written by humans to be read and understood by humans. Key, or otherwise important words in sentences are recognized and arrayed. Each such word is contributed to a qualia generator that spawns the word into its possible contexts, themes, or other reasonable ambiguities that can exist at the level of sentences, paragraphs, and missives. A thesaurus-like table is employed to expand each word into a spread of discrete definitions. Several such spreads are used as templates on the others to find petals that exhibit a convergence of meaning. Once the context of a whole missive has been predicted, each paragraph is deconstructed into sub-contexts that are appropriate within the overall theme. Particular contexts identified are then useful to trigger an actionable output.

  • Patent number: 11934552
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for selectively customizing, modifying and changing performance parameters, capabilities and behaviors of AI devices within AI device networks by sharing user-selected portions of a knowledge corpus with other AI device networks. Selectively sharing parameters, learned behaviors, capabilities, and features of the knowledge corpus allows for AI devices within a second AI device network to mimic, clone or recreate the performance or behaviors of AI devices operating within the environment of a first AI device network. Users can create portable nodes that travel with the user and upon connecting with the second device network, identify AI devices that can be modified using the portions of the knowledge corpus to recreate selected portions of the first AI device network within the environment of the second AI device network either permanently or for a user-selected amount of time.

  • Patent number: 11790258
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, computer program product and system for generating a Bayesian network. A dataset comprising multiple instances of multiple variables is received. A target variable from the received dataset is selected. Multiple parent sets of variables for the target variable are determined, such that, for each parent set of variables, the target variable is functionally dependent on the respective parent set of variables. For multiple variables of the received dataset, the selecting of a new target variable from the received dataset and determining multiple parent sets of variables for the new target variable is repeated. A Bayesian network (includes a directed acyclic graph of nodes and edges) is then generated for the variables such that one or more of the determined parent sets of variables for the target variables are inserted into the graph and edges from the graph are removed to ensure that the graph is acyclic.
