  • Publication number: 20250037207
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for event damage assessment. Specifically, the approach provides for obtaining sensor data from objects with sensors in an activity area and detecting events based on this data. A real-time digital simulation is generated to estimate the damages caused by the detected event. A directed acyclic graph is created to model similar scenario causation factors, which is then refined using data analysis and simulations to create an augmented directed acyclic graph. A neural network architecture is applied to the augmented directed acyclic graph to classify faults. An insurance claim amount is calculated based on the estimated damages amount and the classified fault.

  • Publication number: 20250004951
    Abstract: An approach is provided for optimizing application caching and locking. Features specifying an operating environment of an application are extracted. The features include actual and forecasted central processing unit usage and memory, disk, and network pressure. A pairwise set of class-based and method-based ASTs and the extracted features are input into a logical neural network. Symbolic feature vectors are generated for the features by establishing bounds and flattening the features. The symbolic feature vectors and the set of class-based and method-based ASTs are input into a stacked transformer having encoders and decoders. The encoders and decoders are trained on word or token distributions of code ASTs and operating environment bounds associated with the ASTs. Using the stacked transformer, code is generated for replacing a portion of a method represented by a method-based AST. The code adds or changes caching or locking in the application.

  • Publication number: 20240386674
    Abstract: A method for detecting conflation errors in an augmented reality interface is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving an actual screenshot of an augmented reality interface. The method generates, using a generative adversarial network (GAN), a replica screenshot of the augmented reality interface that indicates how the actual screenshot is expected to appear. The replica screenshot is non-identical to the actual screenshot. The method receives the actual screenshot and the replica screenshot into a fractal-based convolutional neural network (CNN) to determine a correlation between the actual screenshot and the replica screenshot. In the event the correlation is below a designated threshold, the method flags the actual screenshot as having a potential conflation error. This conflation error may involve conflating a digital component for a physical component or vice versa. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
