  • Publication number: 20210056355
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for generating contrastive information for a classifier prediction comprises receiving image data representative of an input image, using a deep learning classifier model to predict a first classification for the input image, evaluating the input image using a plurality of classifier functions corresponding to respective high-level features to identify one or more of the high-level features absent from the input image, and identifying, from among the high-level features absent from the input image, a pertinent-negative feature that, if added to the input image, will result in the deep learning classifier model predicting a second classification for the modified input image, the second classification being different from the first classification. In an embodiment, the method includes creating a pertinent-positive image that is a modified version of the input image that has the first classification and fewer than all superpixels of the input image.

  • Patent number: 10740860
    Abstract: A network is crawled using a trained learning model to identify a set of secondary-source documents related to an event. A hub page from the set of secondary-source documents is identified that includes a link predicted to link to a new relevant secondary-source document. The new document is added to the set of secondary-source documents. Information is extracted from the set of secondary-source documents. Feedback is received indicative of a relevancy level for the extracted information as applied to the event. Each document is classified into one or more categories related to the event, based on the extracted information and the received feedback information. A learning model is trained based on the received feedback.

  • Patent number: 10665330
    Abstract: Predicting human olfactory perception based on molecular structure is described. Molecular descriptor data indicative of molecular descriptors associated with a group of molecular samples can be obtained. Olfactory perception indicator (OPI) data for a set of OPIs can also be obtained with respect to the molecular samples. A training model can be executed on the molecular descriptor data and the OPI data to yield an output model that correlates molecular attributes with OPIs for a single individual or across an aggregate of individuals. The output model can be used to predict olfactory perception for a particular compound or mixture based on which OPIs are correlated with molecular descriptors of the compound or mixture in the output model. The output model can also be inverted and used to identify molecular descriptors that are correlated with a desired set of OPIs. A molecular construct having the molecular descriptors can then be generated.

  • Publication number: 20180089739
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for predicting consumer response to a stimulus based on olfactory characteristics of the stimulus. An intrinsic factor score associated with a product can be determined based on an intrinsic attribute of the stimulus, and optionally, further based on data indicative of historical consumer response to olfactory characteristics of the stimulus. A social factor score associated with a user can also be determined using available olfactory preference data associated with the user and/or data representative of one or more social signals indicative of a predicted response of the user to olfactory characteristics of the stimulus. A collaborative filtering technique can be employed to determine a recommendation score for the stimulus using the intrinsic factor score and the social factor score. The recommendation score can be compared to a threshold value to determine whether to recommend the stimulus to the user.

  • Patent number: 9915942
    Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for identifying significant and consumable-insensitive trace features. A computer computes a residual in a first regression of one or more secondary factors on a target. The computer computes residuals in a second regression of the one or more secondary factors on each of one or more trace features in one or more trace feature sets. The computer computes, for the one or more trace feature sets, coefficients of determination in a third regression of the residuals in the second regression on the residual in the first regression. The computer ranks the one or more trace feature sets by sorting the coefficient of determination. The computer determines, based on rankings of the one or more trace feature sets, significant trace feature sets.

  • Patent number: 9600773
    Abstract: A method for detecting anomalous energy usage of building or household entities. The method applies a number of successively stringent anomaly detection techniques to isolate households that are highly suspect for having engaged in electricity theft via meter tampering. The system utilizes historical time series data of electricity usage, weather, and household characteristics (e.g., size, age, value) and provides a list of households that are worthy of a formal theft investigation. Generally, raw utility usage data, weather history data, and household characteristics are cleansed, and loaded into an analytics data mart. The data mart feeds four classes of anomaly detection algorithms developed, with each analytic producing a set of households suspected of having engaged in electricity theft. The system allows a user to select households from each list or a set based on the intersection of all individual sets.
