Abstract: An audio stream is detected during a communication session with a user. Natural language processing on the audio stream is performed to update a set of attributes by supplementing the set of attributes based on attributes derived from the audio stream. A set of filter values is updated based on the updated set of attributes. The updated set of filter values is used to query a set of databases to obtain datasets. A probabilistic program is executed during the communication session by determining a set of probability parameters characterizing a probability of an anomaly occurring based on the datasets and the set of attributes. A determination is made if whether the probability satisfies a threshold. In response to a determination that the probability satisfies the threshold, a record is updated to identify the communication session to indicate that the threshold is satisfied.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented processes that, using a distributed notarized ledger, constrain an ability of multiple parties to simultaneously, or near simultaneously, update or modify elements of reference data maintained within a centralized data store. For example, an apparatus may receive, from a first computing system, a request to modify reference data maintained at a second computing system. The apparatus may approve the first requested modification to the reference data based on a notarization criterion maintained within an element of a notarized distributed ledger, and perform operations that record notarization data characterizing the approved modification within an additional element of the notarized distributed ledger. The apparatus may also transmit the notarization data to the first computing system, and the notarization data causing an application program executed by the first computing system to modify local reference data in accordance with the notarization data.

Quantum safety may be added to conventional blockchain transactions, for example, via smart contracts which are executed using cryptographic interlocks to between conventional smart contract execution engines and quantum-safe validators to ensure both quantum-safe processing of addresses and signatures and legitimacy of quantum-safe validators in presenting transactions for incorporation on the chain.
