  • Patent number: 12182698
    Abstract: Use a computerized trained graph neural network model to classify an input instance with a predicted label. With a computerized graph neural network interpretation module, compute a gradient-based saliency matrix based on the input instance and the predicted label, by taking a partial derivative of class prediction with respect to an adjacency matrix of the model. With a computerized user interface, obtain user input responsive to the gradient-based saliency matrix. Optionally, modify the trained graph neural network model based on the user input; and re-classify the input instance with a new predicted label based on the modified trained graph neural network model.

  • Patent number: 12175384
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for performing artificial intelligence-based video question answering. A video parser parses an input video data sequence to generate situation data structure(s), each situation data structure comprising data elements corresponding to entities, and first relationships between entities, identified by the video parser as present in images of the input video data sequence. First machine learning computer model(s) operate on the situation data structure(s) to predict second relationship(s) between the situation data structure(s). Second machine learning computer model(s) execute on a received input question to predict an executable program to execute to answer the received question. The program is executed on the situation data structure(s) and predicted second relationship(s). An answer to the question is output based on results of executing the program.

  • Patent number: 12020480
    Abstract: One or more computer processors improve action recognition by removing inference introduced by visual appearances of objects within a received video segment. The one or more computer processors extract appearance information and structure information from a received video segment. The one or more computer processors calculate a factual inference (TE) for the received video segment utilizing the extracted appearance information and structure information. The one or more computer processors calculate a counterfactual debiasing inference (NDE) for the received video segment. The one or more computer processors calculate a total indirect effect (TIE) by subtracting the calculated counterfactual debiased inference from the calculated factual inference. The one or more computer processors action recognize the received video segment by selecting a classification result associated with a highest calculated TIE.

  • Publication number: 20240170007
    Abstract: A method, computer system and computer program product is presented for providing a self-supervised speech representation. In one embodiment, audio input is received including speech utterances. A label sequence is generated from these speech utterances by a teacher label generator. A speech representation is generated of a partially masked version of the speech utterance using a speech representation network. The speech utterance is passed into two random transformations that alter only speaker information prior to the partial masking. A predictor will then predict the label sequence. In one embodiment performance-based assessment is made on a cross-entropy loss between the generated label sequence and a predicted label sequence.

  • Patent number: 11966340
    Abstract: To automate time series forecasting machine learning pipeline generation, a data allocation size of time series data may be determined based on one or more characteristics of a time series data set. The time series data may be allocated for use by candidate machine learning pipelines based on the data allocation size. Features for the time series data may be determined and cached by the candidate machine learning pipelines. Predictions of each of the candidate machine learning pipelines using at least the one or more features may be evaluated. A ranked list of machine learning pipelines may be automatically generated from the candidate machine learning pipelines for time series forecasting based upon evaluating predictions of each of the one or more candidate machine learning pipelines.

  • Patent number: 11861469
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product, and system for creating a data analysis tool. The method may include a computing device that generates an AI pipeline based on an input dataset, wherein the AI pipeline is generated using an Automated Machine Learning program. The method may include converting the AI pipeline to a non-native format of the Automated Machine Learning program. This may enable the AI pipeline to be used outside of the Automated Machine Learning program, thereby increasing the usefulness of the created program by not tying it to the Automated Machine Learning program. Additionally, this may increase the efficiency of running the AI pipeline by eliminating unnecessary computations performed by the Automated Machine Learning program.

  • Patent number: 11854305
    Abstract: A bi-directional spatial-temporal transformer neural network (BDSTT) is trained to predict original coordinates of a skeletal joint in a specific frame through relative relationships of the skeletal joint to other joints and to the state of the skeletal joint in other frames. Obtain a plurality of frames comprising coordinates of the skeletal joint and coordinates of other joints. Produce a spatially masked frame by masking the original coordinates of the skeletal joint. Provide the specific frame, the spatially masked frame, and at least one more frame to a coordinate prediction head of the BDSTT. Obtain, from the coordinate prediction head, a prediction of coordinates for the skeletal joint. Adjust parameters of the BDSTT until a mean-squared error, between the prediction of coordinates for the skeletal joint and the original coordinates of the skeletal joint, converges.
