  • Patent number: 11783131
    Abstract: Provided is a method, computer program product, and system for fusing knowledge graphs to generate a larger knowledgebase for responding to cross document questions. A processor may extract contextual information from a plurality of documents. The processor may generate, based on the extracted contextual information, a knowledge graph for each document of the plurality of documents. The processor may analyze each knowledge graph to determine if one or more entities of each knowledge graph are linked. The processor may fuse, in response to an entity in a first knowledge graph being linked to an entity in a second knowledge graph, the first knowledge graph with the second knowledge graph to create a fused knowledge graph.

  • Patent number: 11763677
    Abstract: An approach is provided for dynamically identifying a danger zone for a predicted traffic accident and generating a warning about the accident. From a monitoring device at a first location, information about traffic conditions for vehicles at time T0 and at least one subsequent time T0+t is received. Based on speeds of the vehicles and a fixed distance from the first location, a response time is calculated. Within the response time, a dual artificial intelligence (AI) model using shallow and deep learners applied on historical accident data is employed. Based on the dual AI model and the traffic conditions, an accident involving vehicle(s) in the traffic is predicted to occur in a zone. A warning about the accident is generated and sent to device(s) in the vehicle(s). The warning is presented to driver(s) of the vehicle(s).

  • Patent number: 11416766
    Abstract: In an approach to detecting the transmission of messages, analyzing said messages, calculating a message risk score and transmitting a warning notification, one or more computer processors detect transmission of a message from a user to a selected recipient. The one or more computer processors extract message information from the detected message. The one or more computer processors retrieve one or more historical conversations between the user and the selected recipient of the detected message. The one or more computer processors determine a risk score corresponding to sending the detected message to the selected recipient based on applying the extracted message information and the retrieved historical conversations to a cognitive model.

  • Patent number: 10623557
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for telephonic fraud prevention. In an embodiment of the invention, a method of telephonic fraud prevention includes speech recognizing in real-time, audio of a telephone call from a caller to a called party. Once the real-time audio has been speech recognized into text, the text may be parsed into words and the words compared to a hierarchical semantic tree of terms. On the condition that a match is detected between one of the words and a node of the tree, a level of the tree is identified at which the match is detected and the level is correlated to a degree of risk of the telephone call. Finally, an alert is displayed to the called party reflecting the degree of risk.

  • Patent number: 9916418
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to detecting and uploading measurement data of a non-connected medical measuring device. Embodiments include capturing an image of an identification object and a beginning event image of a medical measuring device and extracting identification data from the image of the identification object. Based on detecting that the identification object has been removed, an ending event image of the medical measuring device is captured. Embodiments include determining if a measurement event has occurred by comparing the ending event image and the beginning event image. Based on determining that the measurement event occurred, a measurement data of the ending event image is extracted and upload to a personal health record database.
