  • Patent number: 11537905
    Abstract: Embodiments associate a relevant semantic data type (e.g., date) with incoming raw data (e.g., a column of digits) which lacks metadata. Assignment of semantic data type is inferred from a plurality of features. A first step determines a first feature comprising success rate in converting the raw data into various semantic data types. Then, alignment between observed/reference distributions of other features (e.g., data first digit, data length) is determined per-semantic data type. Total scores for each semantic data type are calculated from the combined features, and used as a basis for ranking the semantic data types. The total scores may reflect a weighting of the various features. In a second step, top-ranked semantic data types may be further differentiated from one another by applying additional features. User feedback regarding accuracy of semantic data type assignment, may be incorporated into training data used to modify the feature reference distributions.

  • Patent number: 11526788
    Abstract: An approach for determining a veracity of a reported event is provided. In an embodiment, a set of predictor variables is retrieved from a selected use case. Each of these predictor values is a condition that indicates the veracity of the reported event. In addition, a set of hidden predictor variables is generated from a set of unstructured documents related to the reported event using a hidden Markov model that is based on the predictor variables using a cognitive system. These hidden predictor variables are combined with the set of predictor variables to generate a set of updated predictor variables. These updated predictor variables are used by the cognitive system to return a determination of the veracity of the reported event.

  • Patent number: 11521133
    Abstract: A method for large-scale distributed machine learning using input data comprising formal knowledge and/or training data. The method consisting of independently calculating discrete algebraic models of the input data in one or many computing devices, and in sharing indecomposable components of the algebraic models among the computing devices without constraints on when or on how many times the sharing needs to happen. The method uses an asynchronous communication among machines or computing threads, each working in the same or related learning tasks. Each computing device improves its algebraic model every time it receives new input data or the sharing from other computing devices, thereby providing a solution to the scaling-up problem of machine learning systems.

  • Patent number: 11494637
    Abstract: Neural network protection mechanisms are provided. The neural network protection engine receives a pre-trained neural network computer model and forward propagates a dataset through layers of the pre-trained neural network computer model to compute, for each layer of the pre-trained neural network computer model, inputs and outputs of the layer. For at least one layer of the pre-trained neural network computer model, a differentially private distillation operation is performed on the inputs and outputs of the at least one layer to generate modified operational parameters of the at least one layer. The modified operational parameters of the at least one layer obfuscate aspects of an original training dataset used to train the pre-trained neural network computer model, present in original operational parameters of the at least one layer. The neural network protection engine generates a privatized trained neural network model based on the modified operational parameters.
