Patent number: 11783131Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Zhong Fang Yuan, Chen Gao, Tong Liu, De Shuo Kong, Ci-Wei Lan, Rong Fu He

Patent number: 11763677Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kuo-Liang Chou, Min Luo, Der-Joung Wang, Xiang Yu Yang, Ci-Wei Lan

Patent number: 10623557Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Norman Kung, Tao-Hung Jung, Ching-Chun Liu, Yu-siang Chen, Ci-Wei Lan
