Patent number: 11328214Abstract: A method and associated systems provide real-time response to a request received from a real-time system like a self-driving vehicle or a device that communicates interactively with its environment. The response is selected from a set of candidate feasible responses by a group of computerized agents that each sort the feasible responses in order of that agent's specific preferences, based on that agent's particular priorities or expertise. The agents then reconcile their differences through an iterative procedure. During each iteration, each agent decides whether to retain its current preferences or to adopt the preferences of another agent. This decision is made by determining which preferences are most similar to that agent's own initial preferences, and by which preferences would be most useful in helping to achieve that agent's particular goals. When the agents reach consensus, the group's most-preferred response is returned quickly enough to provide real-time, interactive response.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2017Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Kyndryl, Inc.Inventors: Sougata Mukherjea, Amit A.

Publication number: 20210027315Abstract: A computer-implemented method of automatically identifying a product offering for a customer using a generated decision tree from a directed acyclic graph knowledge base is described. The method includes, by a processor, identifying a set of product offerings, where each product offering is described by a file. The method converts each file into a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and clusters the DAGs. For each cluster, the processor creates a decision tree to distinguish between the product offerings.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2019Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Amit Nanavati, Anil Maddipatla, Birgit Monika Pfitzmann

Patent number: 10885080Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a conversation monitoring system. The conversation monitoring system monitors a conversation between at least two participants and extracting, by the conversation monitoring system, key terms present in communications between the at least two participants. The conversation monitoring system generates a provenance graph data structure based on the extraction of the key terms where the provenance graph data structure has speaker nodes representing the at least two participants, term nodes representing the key terms present in the communications, and edges connecting nodes in the provenance graph. The conversation monitoring system analyzes the provenance graph data structure to identify a relative ranking of the key terms within the conversation and generates an output representing content of the conversation based on the relative ranking of the key terms.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Maryam Ashoori, Ashish Kundu, Amit A.
