  • Patent number: 11494652
    Abstract: A property vector representing extractable measurable properties, such as musical properties, of a file is mapped to semantic properties for the file. This is achieved by using artificial neural networks “ANNs” in which weights and biases are trained to align a distance dissimilarity measure in property space for pairwise comparative files back towards a corresponding semantic distance dissimilarity measure in semantic space for those same files. The result is that, once optimised, the ANNs can process any file, parsed with those properties, to identify other files sharing common traits reflective of emotional-perception, thereby rendering a more liable and true-to-life result of similarity/dissimilarity. This contrasts with simply training a neural network to consider extractable measurable properties that, in isolation, do not provide a reliable contextual relationship into the real-world.

  • Patent number: 11341413
    Abstract: Methods and systems for language processing includes initializing a word embedding matrix based on pre-determined word classes, such that matrix entries associated with a class of which a word is a member are initialized to a non-zero value and other entries are initialized to zero. A neural network is trained based on the initialized word embedding matrix to generate a neural network language model. A language processing task is performed using the neural network language model.

  • Patent number: 11205111
    Abstract: Techniques of forecasting web metrics involve generating, prior to the end of a period of time, a probability of a metric taking on an anomalous value, e.g., a value indicative of an anomaly with respect to web traffic, at the end of the period based on previous values of the metric. Such a probability is based on a distribution of predicted values of the metric at some previous period of time. For example, a web server may use actual values of the number of bounces collected at hourly intervals in the middle of a day to predict a number of bounces at the end of the current day. Further, the web server may also compute a confidence interval to determine whether a predicted end-of-day number of bounces may be considered anomalous. The width of the confidence interval indicates the probability that a predicted end-of-day number of bounces has an anomalous value.

  • Patent number: 11195125
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure allow accuracy of prediction of pollution to be improved. In operation, a prediction of pollution in a future time period is determined. The prediction of pollution indicates predicted data related to a pollution index. Then, matching historical data for the predicted data is determined from historical data related to the pollution index. The matching historical data is obtained in a historical time period corresponding to the future time period. Based on the matching historical data, the prediction of pollution is refined.
