  • Patent number: 10417556
    Abstract: A trained neural network that is configured to generate predictions for periods of time in the future based on input data can be received, where the neural network is trained using training data that includes time series data segmented into windows. Observed time series data can be processed to generate the input data. Using the trained neural network and the generated input data, data predictions can be generated. The predictions can be provided to a reinforcement learning model configured to generate predicted outcomes, where the reinforcement learning model varies parameters to simulate conditions for a first and second entity, and an artificial intelligence agent simulates actions performed by one of the first and second entities, the data predictions being a parameter for the simulation. Parameters for the first and second entities can be selected, where the selected parameters correspond to a predicted outcome that meets a criteria.

  • Patent number: 10388404
    Abstract: A method and associated systems for using machine-learning methods to perform linear regression on a DNA-computing platform. One or more processors generate and initialize beta coefficients of a system of linear equations. These initial values are encoded into nucleobase chains that are then padded to a standard length. The chains are allowed to bind with complementary template chains in a DNA-computing reaction, and the resulting DNA molecules are decoded to reveal the relative the relative likelihood of each chain to bind. The initial values of the beta coefficients are weighted proportionally to these likelihoods, and the process is repeated iteratively until the beta coefficients converge to optimal values.

  • Patent number: 10380500
    Abstract: A system and method for managing asynchronously receiving updates and merging updates into global versions of a statistical model using version control are disclosed. During operation, the system transmits a first global version of a statistical model to a set of client computer systems. Next, the system obtains, from a first subset of the client computer systems, a first set of updates to the first global version. The system then merges the first set of updates into a second global version of the statistical model. Finally, the system transmits the second global version to the client computer systems asynchronously from receiving a second set of updates to the first and/or second global versions from a second subset of the client computer systems.

  • Patent number: 10360503
    Abstract: A system for deriving ontologies to support inferencing with changing context, including changes of time. Embodiment of the invention use a unique system for modeling context and the interactions among multiple contexts in order to compute functions that can modify ontologies for presentation to a reasoning system. A parallel unique system allows previous inferences to be retrospectively modified based on newly derived ontological semantics. The system allows for the creation of new ontological elements and auditable models of agency and cause. It can be implemented using methods that delay evaluation until semantic interpretation is required, either at the ontological or inferential level.

  • Patent number: 10332009
    Abstract: A method and system for predicting a next navigation event are described. Aspects of the disclosure minimize the delay between a navigation event and a network response by predicting the next navigation event. The system and method may then prerender content associated with the next navigation event. For example, the method and system may predict a likely next uniform resource locator during web browsing to preemptively request content from the network before the user selects the corresponding link on a web page. The methods describe a variety of manners of predicting the next navigation event, including examining individual and aggregate historical data, text entry prediction, and cursor input monitoring.

  • Patent number: 10318975
    Abstract: Methods for identifying a case with a missing decision from a set of decision rules in violation of a decision requirement are provided. The set of decision rules and decision requirement are received, and a set of decisions made by the decision rules is obtained. A decision detection constraint graph is built, which represents, for each case used by the set of decision rules, whether each decision in the set of decisions is made or not by a decision rule in the set of decision rules. A decision requirement constraint graph is built from the decision requirement, which represents, for each case used by the set of decision rules, the decisions required. For each case used by the set of decision rules, the decision requirement constraint graph and the decision detection constraint graph for the case are used to identify if the case is a case with a missing decision.
