  • Patent number: 12724762
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for integrating and managing cross-domain ontologies in explainable artificial intelligence environments. The system features an ontology integration module that maintains concurrent domain-specific ontologies while establishing cross-domain relationships using semantic similarity algorithms, mapping concepts across domains. A relationship mapping engine identifies semantic similarities between concepts across different domain ontologies, while a domain extension mechanism detects emerging domains and establishes initial cross-domain mappings. These techniques advance the field of ontology integration and explainable artificial intelligence by providing a solution for maintaining and extending cross-domain relationships while adapting to emerging domains, thereby enabling more effective knowledge transfer across industry boundaries.

  • Publication number: 20260178946
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating domain-specific explainable recommendations through interpretable machine learning models. The system features an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) framework that combines decision trees and Bayesian inference for recommendation generation, while leveraging Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values to provide transparent rationales for its decisions. The framework integrates ontological data to enhance recommendation accuracy and implements dynamic adjustment of explanation complexity based on user expertise levels. These techniques advance the field of explainable AI by providing a solution that balances machine learning techniques with interpretable outputs, while adapting explanations to different user expertise categories for improved understanding and adoption.

  • Publication number: 20260178753
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for secure orchestration of explainable recommendation components in Artificial Intelligence (AI) environments. The system includes an orchestration layer that implements secure communication protocols between system components while managing data validation across component boundaries. A synchronization mechanism maintains consistency between subsystems and enables secure transmission of explanation data and recommendation context. The system includes an explainable AI framework that implements adjustment of explanation complexity, supported by resource allocation based on component interaction patterns. These techniques advance the field of explainable AI systems by providing a solution for secure component integration and efficient resource management, while ensuring reliable delivery of contextual explanations across system boundaries.

  • Publication number: 20260181001
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating explainable recommendations through the integration of multi-tier data verification and adaptive explanation frameworks. The system includes a data verification subsystem implementing consensus protocols for conflict resolution. The system also includes an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) framework that adapts explanation complexity. The data verification subsystem employs confidence scoring based on source reliability and applies consensus algorithms to resolve data discrepancies. This verified data foundation, augmented with confidence metrics, enables the explainable AI framework to generate reliability-aware explanations. The system advances the field of explainable AI by addressing the critical challenge of data reliability while providing transparency through confidence-aware explanations, thereby enhancing the trustworthiness of AI-generated recommendations.

  • Patent number: 12530392
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating explainable recommendations through an integrated approach combining ontology management and adaptive explanation frameworks. The system includes an ontology management module that maintains consistency while enabling cross-domain integration. The system also includes an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) framework that adapts explanation complexity to user expertise levels. The ontology management module employs semantic similarity algorithms to update and expand a multi-domain ontology, integrating knowledge across diverse domains. This unified ontological foundation supports the explainable AI framework in generating accurate recommendations with contextually appropriate explanations. The system advances the field of explainable AI by addressing the challenges of ontological consistency during updates while making AI recommendations more accessible through expertise-based explanation adaptation.

  • Publication number: 20190343441
    Abstract: The cognitive diversion of a child patient during medical treatment includes receiving an image of a child and processing the image to determine a contemporaneous emotional state, selecting a specific procedure and retrieving a requisite minimum state of distraction necessary for the procedure and comparing the contemporaneous emotional state to the requisite minimum state of distraction. On condition that the contemporaneous emotional state lacks the requisite minimum state of distraction, an activity is identified in a table that correlates to a degree of diversion exceeding the requisite minimum state of distraction, the identified activity is presented in a display and additional imagery of the child processed while the child engages in the identified activity in order to re-determine the contemporaneous emotional state.
