  • Patent number: 11301774
    Abstract: A method for learning latent representations of individual users in a personalization system uses a graph-based machine learning framework. A graph representation is generated based on input data in which the individual users are each represented by a node. The nodes are associated with labels. Node vector representations are learned by combining label latent representations from a vertex and neighboring nodes so as to reconstruct the label latent representation of the vertex and updating the label latent representations of the neighboring nodes using gradients resulting from application of a reconstruction loss. A classifier/regressor is trained using the node vector representations and the node vector representations are mapped to personalizations. Actions associated with the personalizations are then initiated.

  • Patent number: 11270214
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a system of systems, that couples one or more non-interpretable systems to one or more interpretable systems by using the output results of the non-interpretable systems as the training targets for the interpretable systems. The method, the system, and the system of systems provide for non-interpretable complex nonlinear interactions among inputs by augmenting the set of in-sample and out-sample inputs. The result of the coupling is one or more resulting interpretable systems that allow for the development of explanations, justifications, and rationalizations for systems heretofore non-explainable or non-interpretable. The method, system and system of systems solve transparency and bias problems for non-interpretable systems and provides a basis for ethical systems, such as ethical artificial intelligent (AI) systems.

  • Patent number: 11244236
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for determining relationships between physical entities, where one or more of the physical entities is associated with static feature(s) and changeable feature(s). An entity analytics engine determines that a first physical entity and a second physical entity may be in a relationship with a third physical entity based on a first rule and a first set of observations. The first rule is applicable to one or more static features of the first physical entity, the second physical entity, and the third physical entity. The first rule provides that the first physical entity and the second physical entity may be in a relationship with the third physical entity when the third physical entity includes one or more static features that are within a threshold degree of similarity to static features of the first physical entity and the second physical entity.
