  • Patent number: 11210593
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for recording and storing sequences of operations that may be performed on a client device. During a training phase, the system collects information about operations performed by a user or by an automatic application crawling program. Information about operations may include view-structure data about components of a user interface and event data about interactions the user has with the interface components and the outcome of such interactions. The operation data is stored in an operation graph that may represent how specific user interactions with interface components can cause transitions to new view-structures of the same or different applications on the client device. The data stored in the operation graph may be used to construct new sequences of operations for later execution, for example, in response to a user query.

  • Patent number: 11195080
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing system that includes compile time logic configured to section a graph into a sequence of sections, and configure each section of the sequence of sections such that an input layer of a section processes an input, one or more intermediate layers of the corresponding section processes corresponding one or more intermediate outputs, and a final layer of the corresponding section generates a final output. The final output has a non-overlapping final tiling configuration, the one or more intermediate outputs have corresponding one or more overlapping intermediate tiling configurations, and the input has an overlapping input tiling configuration. The compile time logic is further to determine the various tiling configurations by starting from the final layer and reverse traversing through the one or more intermediate layers, and ending with the input layer.

  • Patent number: 11188824
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media related to information retrieval. Some implementations are related to training and/or using a relevance model for information retrieval. The relevance model includes an input neural network model and a subsequent content neural network model. The input neural network model and the subsequent content neural network model can be separate, but trained and/or used cooperatively. The input neural network model and the subsequent content neural network model can be “separate” in that separate inputs are applied to the neural network models, and each of the neural network models is used to generate its own feature vector based on its applied input. A comparison of the feature vectors generated based on the separate network models can then be performed, where the comparison indicates relevance of the input applied to the input neural network model to the separate input applied to the subsequent content neural network model.

  • Patent number: 11087220
    Abstract: For confidence weighting relationships between complex entities in unstructured data an expressed relationship between a subset of a set of tokens is extracted from a knowledge graph corresponding to the unstructured data. The knowledge graph includes the set of tokens. The tokens in the subset of tokens are related in the expressed relationship by a set of predicates. A number of occurrences of the set of predicates in the unstructured data is determined. A number of occurrences of the expressed relationship in the unstructured data is determined. Using the number of occurrences of the set of predicates and the number of occurrences of the expressed relationship, a confidence value is computed and assigned to the expressed relationship.

  • Patent number: 10963816
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for time-shifting interactions by sharing an artificial intelligence personality (AIP). An AIP is an understanding construct that may control a variety of communication experiences to support a sense of ongoing social connectedness. An AIP may be instantiated within one or more HIEs that interact with humans in a human, cartoon or pet-like manner. HIEs may include robots, robotic pets, toys, simple-to-use devices, and graphical user interfaces. The AIP may be periodically updated based on human interactions sensed by the HIEs as well as knowledge of historical and ongoing events. The systems may provide users with intuitive machine companions that exhibit an expert knowledge base and a familiar, cumulative personality. HIEs may continue to operate without interruption in the presence of telecommunications delays or interruptions, and/or the absence of one or more human participants; allowing participants to “time-shift” their sense of connectedness.

  • Patent number: 10929762
    Abstract: Data is classified using corrected semi-supervised data. Cluster centers are defined for unclassified observations. A class is determined for each cluster. A distance value is computed between a classified observation and each cluster center. When the class of the classified observation is not the class determined for the cluster center having a minimum distance, a first distance value is selected as the minimum distance, a second distance value is selected as the distance value computed to the cluster center having the class of the classified observation, a ratio value is computed between the second distance value and the first distance value, and the class of the classified observation is changed to the class determined for the cluster center having the minimum distance value when the computed ratio value satisfies a label correction threshold. A classification matrix is defined using corrected observations to determine the class for the unclassified observations.
