  • Patent number: 11687769
    Abstract: Machine learning techniques can be used to train a classifier, in some embodiments, to accurately detect similarities between different records of user activity for a same user. When more recent data is received, newer data can be analyzed by selectively removing particular sub-groups of data to see if there is any particular data that accounts for a large difference (e.g. when run through a classifier that has been trained to produce similar results for known activity data from a same user). If a sub-group of data is identified as being significantly different from other user data, this may indicate an account breach. Advanced machine learning techniques described herein may be applicable to a variety of different environments.

  • Patent number: 11654828
    Abstract: From each of in-vehicle units in vehicles, a travel behavior data indicating a travel behavior of the vehicle is received and recorded in a travel history database. The travel behavior data of the vehicles are read from the travel history database; an avoidance action arising in each of the vehicles is detected based on the read travel behavior data. From the detected avoidance actions of the vehicles, a related avoidance action group being avoidance actions arising due to an identical object at different positions at different points of times in different target vehicles is extracted based on an occurrence position and an occurrence point of time of each detected avoidance action. Information on position change of the identical object as a cause of the extracted related avoidance action group is recorded as an alert target data.

  • Patent number: 11651206
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a computer-implemented method for multiscale representation of input data. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes a processor receiving an original input. The processor downsamples the original input into a downscaled input. The processor runs a first convolutional neural network (“CNN”) on the downscaled input. The processor runs a second CNN on the original input, where the second CNN has fewer layers than the first CNN. The processor merges the output of the first CNN with the output of the second CNN and provides a result following the merging of the outputs.

  • Patent number: 11620570
    Abstract: A cognitive assignment engine (CAE) system attempts to infer semantic meaning from textual content of an incoming message in order to use the inferred meaning to assign the message to an appropriate responder. If the message contains insufficient textual content, the system identifies ontological structures comprised by the message's graphical content and classifies each structure as a function of the structure's location within the graphical content or of an intrinsic characteristic of the structure. The system then generates a message identifier by performing a computation on these classifications and uses the identifier to retrieve a previously stored graphical template that comprises ontological structures similar to those of the incoming message. The system associates the incoming message with a semantic meaning previously associated with the template, enabling the system to classify the message and to assign the message to the correct responder.

  • Patent number: 11556791
    Abstract: Requests for computing resources and other resources can be predicted and managed. For example, a system can determine a baseline prediction indicating a number of requests for an object over a future time-period. The system can then execute a first model to generate a first set of values based on seasonality in the baseline prediction, a second model to generate a second set of values based on short-term trends in the baseline prediction, and a third model to generate a third set of values based on the baseline prediction. The system can select a most accurate model from among the three models and generate an output prediction by applying the set of values output by the most accurate model to the baseline prediction. Based on the output prediction, the system can cause an adjustment to be made to a provisioning process for the object.
