  • Patent number: 10915814
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for time-sharing interactions using a shared artificial intelligence personality (AIP) incorporated within multiple human interaction entities (HIEs). 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 two 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 two or more users with intuitive machine companions that exhibit an expert knowledge base and a familiar, cumulative personality.

  • Patent number: 10878328
    Abstract: System and method for analyzing driver behavior based on telematics data are disclosed. In an example, a probability of a user driving a vehicle is computed and a risk score is generated to develop at least one driver profile based on the probability. Further, routes taken by said user driving said vehicle are clustered to generate enhanced driver profile and using the clustered output to develop dynamic intelligent contexts for each said route and adding contextual intelligence messages to customize said risk score. Furthermore, the routes taken by the said user in real time are predicted. In addition, a missing route is identified through imputation of missed routes to compute annualized mileage, and a missing distance is imputed in an analysis of at least one trip of the driver in the vehicle. Also, independent trips are stitched based on at least one recommendation from an analytics engine.

  • Patent number: 10860926
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for reinforcement learning. The embodiments described herein apply meta-learning (and in particular, meta-gradient reinforcement learning) to learn an optimum return function G so that the training of the system is improved. This provides a more effective and efficient means of training a reinforcement learning system as the system is able to converge on an optimum set of one or more policy parameters ? more quickly by training the return function G as it goes. In particular, the return function G is made dependent on the one or more policy parameters ? and a meta-objective function J? is used that is differentiated with respect to the one or more return parameters ? to improve the training of the return function G.

  • Patent number: 10853768
    Abstract: An inference is made regarding whether or not an upcoming day is going to be a busy day for a user. One or more different user-specific event parameters are utilized to compute a user busyness score for the upcoming day, where these parameters are based in part on a history of events for the user and their past behavior. Then, whenever the user busyness score for the upcoming day is greater than a busy day threshold, it is inferred that the upcoming day is going to be a busy day for the user. Whenever the user busyness score for the upcoming day is less than a quiet day threshold, it is inferred that the upcoming day is going to be a quiet day for the user.

  • Patent number: 10832163
    Abstract: Memory facilitation using directed acyclic graphs is described, for example, where a plurality of directed acyclic graphs are trained for gesture recognition from human skeletal data, or to estimate human body joint positions from depth images for gesture detection. In various examples directed acyclic graphs are grown during training using a training objective which takes into account both connection patterns between nodes and split function parameter values. For example, a layer of child nodes is grown and connected to a parent layer of nodes using an initialization strategy. In examples, various local search processes are used to find good combinations of connection patterns and split function parameters.
