  • Patent number: 11698930
    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for determining artificial neural network topologies, such as by utilizing probabilistic graphical models, for instance. Some embodiments are particularly related to determining neural network topologies by bootstrapping a graph, such as a probabilistic graphical model, into a multi-graphical model, or graphical model tree. Various embodiments may include logic to determine a collection of sample sets from a dataset. In various such embodiments, each sample set may be drawn randomly for the dataset with replacement between drawings. In some embodiments, logic may partition a graph into multiple subgraph sets based on each of the sample sets. In several embodiments, the multiple subgraph sets may be scored, such as with Bayesian statistics, and selected amongst as part of determining a topology for a neural network.

  • Patent number: 11694093
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for accurately identifying distinct physical user devices in a cross-device context. An example embodiment applies a multi-phase approach to generate labeled training datasets from a corpus of unlabeled device records. Such labeled training datasets can be used for training machine learning systems to predict the occurrence of device records that have been wrongly (or correctly, as the case may be) attributed to different physical user devices. Such identification of improper attribution can be particularly helpful in web-based analytics. The labeled training datasets include labeled pairs of device records generated using multiple strategies for inferring whether the two device records of a pair of device records represent the same physical user device (or different physical user devices). The labeled pairs of device records can then be used to train classifiers to predict with confidence whether two device records represent or do not represent the same physical user device.

  • Patent number: 11657311
    Abstract: A method and corresponding system identify missing interactions in incompletely known datasets represented as complex networks. The method identifies missing connections in a complex network. The method accesses an electronic representation of the network. The network includes nodes and links, the nodes represent entities, and the links represent interactions between the entities. For each pair of nodes not directly connected by a link, the method determines a number of paths connecting the pair of nodes and calculates a prediction score for the pair of nodes based on the number of paths connecting the pair of nodes. The method ranks the pairs of nodes based on the prediction scores, resulting in an ordered list of node pairs, and selects at least a subset of the pairs of nodes based on the ordered list of node pairs. The selected pairs of nodes represent missing connections in the network.
