  • Patent number: 10832159
    Abstract: A Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier employs a kernel ƒ(xi,y)??d=1DF(xi,d,yd) or ƒ(xi,y)??d=1DF(xi,d,yd) where D is the dimensionality of Support Vectors xi and vector y is a vector being classified, e.g. representing a message communicated on a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus of a vehicle. The SVM classifier comprises a microprocessor or microcontroller programmed to perform classification using the SVM classifier with at least some terms F(xi,d,yd) of the kernel ƒ(xi,y) determined using a look-up table. For those terms F(xi,d,yd) of the kernel ƒ(xi,y) determined using a look-up table, the dimension yd can only assume values defined by a finite set of values. In an embedded system, the microprocessor or microcontroller performs an embedded system function such as engine control, brake control, entertainment system operation, or so forth, or an embedded system function for a vehicle, ocean buoy, or satellite.

  • Patent number: 10832143
    Abstract: Examples of the disclosure enable an information processing system to automatically implement a user interaction diagnostic engine. In some examples, the information processing system analyzes documents to identify parameters associated with profile features and performance metrics. Based on the parameters, correlation values between the profile features and one or more performance metrics are determined. Based on the correlation values, at least one profile feature is identified to improve a parameter associated with the performance metrics. A predictive model associated with the profile features and the performance metrics is generated. One or more actionable items configured to modify the at least one profile feature are determined such that, based on the predictive model, a parameter associated with the performance metrics are predicted to improve upon execution of the one or more actionable items.

  • Patent number: 10783429
    Abstract: Roughly described, the technology disclosed provides a so-called machine-learned conversion optimization (MLCO) system that uses artificial neural networks and evolutionary computations to efficiently identify most successful webpage designs in a search space without testing all possible webpage designs in the search space. The search space is defined based on webpage designs provided by marketers. Neural networks are represented as genomes. Neural networks map user attributes from live user traffic to different dimensions and dimension values of output funnels that are presented to the users in real time. The genomes are subjected to evolutionary operations like initialization, testing, competition, and procreation to identify parent genomes that perform well and offspring genomes that are likely to perform well.

  • Patent number: 10783430
    Abstract: A method for removing an extracted RF signal to examine a spectrum of at least one other RF signal includes receiving a mixture signal by an ADC. The mixture signal includes a plurality of separate signals from different signal sources. The mixture signal is digitized by the ADC. A first digitized signal and a second digitized signal are generated that are the same. The first digitized signal is delayed a predetermined time delay and the second digitized signal is processed in a neuromorphic signal processor to extract an extracted signal. The predetermined time delay corresponds to a delay embedding in the neuromorphic signal processor. A phase delay and amplitude of the extracted signal is adjusted based on a phase delay and amplitude of the first digitized signal. An adjusted extracted signal is cancelled from the first digitized signal to provide an input examination signal for examination.

  • Patent number: 10776708
    Abstract: A relational event history is determined based on a data set, the relational event history including a set of relational events that occurred in time among a set of actors. Data is populated in a probability model based on the relational event history, where the probability model is formulated as a series of conditional probabilities that correspond to a set of sequential decisions by an actor for each relational event, where the probability model includes one or more statistical parameters and corresponding statistics. A baseline communications behavior for the relational event history is determined based on the populated probability model, and departures within the relational event history from the baseline communications behavior are determined.

  • Patent number: 10719779
    Abstract: System and means generates synthetic forms of social media data such as data from microblogging services (e.g., Twitter) and social networking services (e.g., Facebook). This system and means jointly generate interaction graph structures and text features similar to input social media data. First, an interaction graph is generated by mapping social network interactions in input (real) social media data to graph structures. This interaction graph is fitted to a social network model (or a composite model) by minimizing the distance between the input and the synthetic interaction graphs (of potentially different sizes). The distance is measured statistically or based on the performance of social media analytics. Various patterns (such as anomalies), interaction types and temporal dynamics are generated synthetically. Second, text features are extracted from input social media data with topic modeling and statistical analysis of word tuple distributions.
