  • Patent number: 11914622
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for efficient factor analysis of a large population of data records, using factors that are categorical variables. Computation is balanced between extracting key factors by training a machine learning classifier on a reduced sample of data records, for computational efficiency, and scoring the categorical values of the key factors on the entire population, for accuracy of results. A joint factor is constructed by combining all proposed root factors, and the sample is generated by stratified sampling on the joint factor. The key factors are selected from candidate factors which can be combinations of the root factors. Original variables of a dataset, whether categorical or not, can be binned to obtain new categorical factors. Variations and user interfaces are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11914642
    Abstract: The present technology can detect potential labeling conflicts made during different labeling tasks when those tasks are checked in to ensure that a map database is free from conflicts that might interrupt publishing of a map. The present technology can determine whether a first labeled version of map portion is based on a most recent version for the map portion that is stored in the map database, and when it is determined that it is not, and there is an intervening version, the present technology can identify differences between the intervening version of the map portion and the first version of the map portion and identify differences between the second version of the map portion and the first version of the map portion. Based on the identified differences, the present technology can determine whether any of those differences are conflicting.

  • Patent number: 11893069
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product provide a search engine which may use time series of data relevant to a search query to generate relevant results that may be used for predictions of events related to the query. Embodiments determine the underlying driving factors that most influenced the search query topic. In one aspect, the predictive ability of time series may be used to determine the driving factors. In another aspect, the system and method may employ a neural network to run a prediction model for determining conditional distribution of future values of the search query topic. The information may be displayed in a user interface where the driving factors and other information may be user edited to observe the effects source data has on the search query topic.

  • Patent number: 11829386
    Abstract: Resume data identification implementations are described that identify anonymized resume corpus data pertaining to the same individual. In one implementation, identifying this data in the anonymized resume corpus involves segmenting the corpus into resume snippets and clustering the resume snippets into groups. Within each group the resume snippets potentially pertain to the same individual. In addition, one or more optional filtering operations can be performed to remove snippets from a group that are less likely to be associated with the same person. This filtering is especially useful when the resume corpus is large.

  • Patent number: 11809960
    Abstract: Real-time prevention of computerized event manipulation through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted quantum computing. Determine, at an event request time, if the event is being manipulated and/or is part of a manipulation scheme and, if so, prevent the event from being initiated. A classical computing platform analyzes a batch of historical events using AI including machine learning classification algorithms to result in a manipulation indicator for each of the historical events. A quantum computing platform converts each of the historical events in the batch to a qubit sequence based on attributes associated with the events. The qubits are entangled with qubits of a primary qubit sequence and maintained an entangled list. When an event is requested, attributes associated with the pending event are communicated to the quantum computing platform, which transforms/converts the pending event to the primary qubit sequence based on the attributes associated with the pending event.
