  • Publication number: 20190266528
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable device that detects hidden correlation relationships among entities, such as companies and/or individuals is presented. A dataset that corresponds to a predefined set of correlation relationships of these companies and/or individuals may be collected. The dataset may be stored in a graph database and a machine learning system may be built using features computed from the graph database. At least a new pair of companies or a new pair of an individual and a company may be evaluated. The system, method, and/or computer readable device may determine whether a hidden correlation relationship exists between them.

  • Publication number: 20190205727
    Abstract: A system for providing a persona-driven and artificially-intelligent avatar is disclosed. The avatar may be utilized to represent an artificially-intelligent virtual assistant that may perform actions on behalf of a user, such as actions related to an investment strategy for the user. Notably, the avatar may influence artificial intelligence algorithms supporting the functionality of the virtual assistant via quantifiable traits of a persona of the avatar. In particular, the quantifiable traits of the persona of the avatar may be utilized to range bound the controlling parameters of the algorithms such that the virtual assistant represented by the avatar performs actions that conform to the ranged-bounded controlling parameters. Metrics corresponding to the performance of the virtual assistant may be tracked, and the system may modify parameters of the virtual assistant based on the metrics so as to adjust future actions performed by the virtual assistant for the user.

  • Publication number: 20190122113
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for optimizing a convolutional neural network (CNN). A respective measure of importance is calculated for each of a plurality of elements within a CNN. A first one of the measures of importance is calculated by back propagating a second one of the measures of importance through the CNN. One or more of the plurality of elements is pruned from the CNN, based on the calculated measures of importance.
