  • Patent number: 11625513
    Abstract: Techniques for determining a safety metric associated with a vehicle controller are discussed herein. To determine whether a complex system (which may be uninspectable) is able to operate safely, various operating regimes (scenarios) can be identified based on operating data and associated with a scenario parameter to be adjusted. To validate safe operation of such a system, a scenario may be identified for inspection. Error metrics of a subsystem of the system can be quantified. The error metrics, in addition to stochastic errors of other systems/subsystems can be introduced to the scenario. The scenario parameter may also be perturbed. Any multitude of such perturbations can be instantiated in a simulation to test, for example, a vehicle controller. A safety metric associated with the vehicle controller can be determined based on the simulation, as well as causes for any failures.

  • Patent number: 11590969
    Abstract: Techniques and methods for training and/or using a machine learned model that identifies unsafe events. For instance, computing device(s) may receive input data, such as vehicle data generated by one or more vehicles and/or simulation data representing a simulated environment. The computing device(s) may then analyze features represented by the input data using one or more criteria in order to identify potential unsafe events represented by the input data. Additionally, the computing device(s) may receive ground truth data classifying the identified events as unsafe events or safe events. The computing device(s) may then train the machine learned model using at least the input data representing the unsafe events and the classifications. Next, when the computing device(s) and/or vehicles receive input data, the computing device(s) and/or vehicles may use the machine learned model to determine if the input data represents unsafe events.

  • Patent number: 11593343
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for clustering user interface event data for analysis and retrieval are disclosed. In one aspect, a system includes a data store and computer(s) that interact with the data store and execute instructions that cause the computer(s) to receive, for a user interface event, event data specifying a structure of a user interface presented during the user session. The event is assigned to a respective cluster based on a comparison of the structure of the user interface specified by the event data to a user interface structure that represents the respective cluster. For each cluster, a user interface attribute indicative of a user interface state of user interfaces specified by the event data in the cluster is determined. User interface state groups are generated based on the user interface attribute for each cluster.

  • Patent number: 11528339
    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate a computer system detecting an unusual activity event from activity data and sending a two-way notification message to a wireless device when a user has opt-in for a mobile application. The two-way push notification message is received at a wireless device and notification information is displayed at the wireless device outside the mobile application. The user selects one of the displayed action buttons to indicate whether the unusual activity event is valid or invalid. When a response to the computer system indicates that the unusual activity is valid, the computer system clears the inquiry and sends a subsequent push notification message to the wireless device informing the user. When the response indicates that the unusual activity is invalid, the computer system and the wireless device may establish an interaction through the mobile application in order to resolve the unusual activity event.
