  • Patent number: 11669759
    Abstract: An interaction prediction system for accurately predicting the occurrence of interactions, entities associated with the interactions, and/or resources involved with the interactions. The interaction predictions can be used for a number of different purposes, such as improving security of systems, predicting future interactions or the likelihood thereof, or the like. The interaction prediction system described herein more accurately predict the interactions using modeling and monitoring that increases the processing speeds by reducing the data needed to make the predictions, reduces the memory requirements to make the predictions, and increases the capacity of the processing systems when compared to traditional systems.

  • Patent number: 11663480
    Abstract: An autonomic function executing in an artificial intelligence environment determines that a fused model responsive to a new problem space has below a threshold level of accuracy in the new problem space. A spliced layer in the fused model is autonomically cloned, the spliced layer having been extracted from a second model and inserted at a location in the fused model. The cloned layer is autonomically inserted at a second location in the fused model. An automatically constructed vector transformation transforms an output vector of a previous layer in an immediately previous location in the model relative to the second location. The cloned layer is automatically fused in the fused model using the transformed output vector as input to the cloned layer, forming a deep fused model that has a revised accuracy that is higher than the accuracy relative to an ontology of the new problem space.

  • Patent number: 11651232
    Abstract: From a quantum program a first mutant is generated using a processor and a memory, where the first mutant is a randomly-generated transformation of the quantum program. A quality score, a correctness distance, and a probability of acceptance corresponding to the first mutant are computed. An acceptance corresponding to the first mutant is determined according to the probability of acceptance. Upon determining that an acceptance of the first mutant corresponding to the probability of acceptance exceeds an acceptance threshold, the quantum program is replaced with the first mutant. Upon determining that the quality score exceeds a storage threshold and that the correctness distance is zero, the first mutant is stored. These actions are iterated until reaching an iteration limit.

  • Patent number: 11645335
    Abstract: Generating a solution keyword tag cloud is provided. The solution keyword tag cloud is generated for a product based on matching keywords identified in a question asking how to resolve an issue experienced by a user with the product with keyword tags included in a set of condition-solution trees corresponding to the product. In response to receiving an indication that a tried solution in the solution keyword tag cloud did not resolve the issue experienced by the user, the solution keyword tag cloud is graphically updated by moving the tried solution that failed to resolve the issue from a solution section of the solution keyword tag cloud to a condition section of the solution keyword tag cloud.

  • Patent number: 11636308
    Abstract: According to embodiments, a recurrent neural network (RNN) is equipped with a set data structure whose operations are differentiable, which data structure can be used to store information for a long period of time. This differentiable set data structure can “remember” an event in the sequence of sequential data that may impact another event much later in the sequence, thereby allowing the RNN to classify the sequence based on many kinds of long dependencies. An RNN that is equipped with the differentiable set data structure can be properly trained with backpropagation and gradient descent optimizations. According to embodiments, a differentiable set data structure can be used to store and retrieve information with a simple set-like interface. According to further embodiments, the RNN can be extended to support several add operations, which can make the differentiable set data structure behave like a Bloom filter.

  • Patent number: 11593634
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that asynchronously train a machine learning model across client devices that implement local versions of the model while preserving client data privacy. To train the model across devices, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems send global parameters for a global machine learning model from a server device to client devices. A subset of the client devices uses local machine learning models corresponding to the global model and client training data to modify the global parameters. Based on those modifications, the subset of client devices sends modified parameter indicators to the server device for the server device to use in adjusting the global parameters. By utilizing the modified parameter indicators (and not client training data), in certain implementations, the disclosed systems accurately train a machine learning model without exposing training data from the client device.
