Patent number: 11966697Abstract: Systems and methods for automated, degradation-resistant, tuning of machine-learning (“ML”) models are provided. The systems and methods may identify an inoperative input utterance, retrieve a feature set associated with the inoperative input utterance, and generate an updated utterance-feature-intent (“UFI”) mapping based on the retrieved feature set. The systems and methods may retrain the ML model using the updated UFI mapping, and compare the accuracy of the system after the retraining and before the retraining. In a scenario where the accuracy of the system does not improve, the systems and methods may amplify the updated UFI mapping. In a scenario where the accuracy of the system does improve, the systems and methods may deploy the updated UFI mapping.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Viju Kothuvatiparambil, Donatus Asumu

Patent number: 11960881Abstract: A system and method for simplifying the creation of documentation, and especially software documentation. A software application, referred to as a source metadata tagger and document compiler is used to add metadata to a final output document. This metadata contains identifiers that are associated with various source files. In this way, the system can easily determine which source file is being reviewed and/or flagged by the reviewer. This information can be used by the ticketing/notification system to create a work item for the appropriate developer or development group. This is vastly simpler than the current system, where human intervention is required to determine which source file is being flagged.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Silicon Laboratories Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Ryan Wellinghoff, Stephen Hahn, Yi-Yang Chen, Bradford Stewart
