Publication number: 20230394339Abstract: An experiment design is determined for a plurality of physical experiment entities, based on a training loss that is dependent on a critic function and an action parameter individually associated with each physical experiment entity, with the aim of increasing (e.g., optimizing) information gain with respect to a plurality of test entities. The training loss encodes a predicted information gain between a predicted experiment outcome and a predicted test quantity. The predicted experiment outcome associated therewith is sampled from a joint probability distribution based on an entity context. A numerical output is computed using the critic function applied to the predicted experiment outcome and the predicted test quantity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Adam Evan FOSTER, Cheng ZHANG, Desislava Rosenova IVANOVA, Joel Nicholas JENNINGS

Patent number: 10585906Abstract: A database system may implement communications language queries to query data based on relationships between communications. A user may input a communications language query, and may process the query at a user device or at a database server. In some cases, the database server may process the query based on a periodic or event-based trigger. Processing the query may involve identifying one or more sets of communication events based on the type of communication event or a property of the communication event (e.g., referred to as a moment or score), as well as a temporal, user, or geographic relationship between the sets of communication events. The user device or database server may return a timestamp of a communication event, moment, or score, a number of occurrences of communication events, moments, or scores, or a Boolean value indicating whether a particular communication event, moment, or score exists to the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Robert Michael Van Osten, Sean Lynch, Matthew Burghoffer, Adam Evans, Joseph Michael Chrzanowski
