  • Patent number: 11950914
    Abstract: Multiple circuits in a computing device can share one or more conductive elements. The use of the conductive element can vary by circuit, such as an antenna radiator for a radio frequency (RF) circuit or an electrode for an electrocardiography (ECG) circuit. The circuitry sharing a conductive element can utilize signals obtained over different frequency ranges. Those ranges can be used to select decoupling circuitry, or elements, that can enable the respective circuits to obtain signals over a respective frequency range, excluding signals over one or more other frequency ranges corresponding to other circuitry sharing the circuit. Such an approach allows for concurrent independent operation of the circuitry sharing a conductive element.

  • Patent number: 11797870
    Abstract: Obtain, from an existing machine learning classifier, original probabilistic scores classifying samples taken from two or more groups into two or more classes via supervised machine learning. Associate the original probabilistic scores with a plurality of original Lagrange multipliers. Adjust values of the plurality of original Lagrange multipliers via low-dimensional convex optimization to obtain updated Lagrange multipliers that satisfy fairness constraints as compared to the original Lagrange multipliers. Based on the updated Lagrange multipliers, closed-form transform the original probabilistic scores into transformed probabilistic scores that satisfy the fairness constraints while minimizing loss in utility. The fairness constraints are with respect to the two or more groups.

  • Publication number: 20230021338
    Abstract: A method for training a machine learning system using conditionally independent training data includes receiving an input dataset (p(x, y, z)). A generative adversarial network, that includes a generator and a first discriminator, uses the input dataset to generate a training data (ps (xf, yf, zf)) by generating the values (xf, yf, zf). The first discriminator determines a first loss (L1) based on (xf, yf, zf) and (x, y, z). A divergence calculator modifies the training data based on a dependence measure (?). The divergence calculator includes a second discriminator and a third discriminator. Modifying the training data includes receiving a reference value ({tilde over (y)}), and computing, by the second discriminator, a second loss (L2) based on (xf, yf, zf) and (xf, {tilde over (y)}, zf). The third discriminator computes a third loss (L3) based on (yf, zf) and ({tilde over (y)}, zf). Further, a fourth loss (L4) is computed based on L2 and L3.

  • Publication number: 20220391631
    Abstract: Define a similarity measure between first and second points in a data space by operation of a machine learning model. Generate interpretable representations of the first and second points. Generate an interpretable local description of the similarity measure by approximating the similarity measure as a distance between the interpretable representations of the first and second points. The distance between the interpretable representations incorporates a matrix. Learn values for the matrix through optimizing a loss function evaluated on perturbations of the first and second points. Explain a value of the similarity measure between the first and second points using elements of the matrix. Assess the explanation of the value of the similarity measure using a rubric. In response to the assessment of the explanation of the value of the similarity measure, modify the machine learning model. Deploy the modified machine learning model.

    Abstract: A system may predict costs for a set of members by building and using a predictive pipeline. The pipeline may be built using a set of historical data for training members. A set of member-level features can be identified by performing empirical testing on the set of historical data. The trained configurable predictive pipeline can generate a set of predictive data for each member, using historical test data for a set of testing members. The system can then generate a predictive report for each set of predictive data.

  • Publication number: 20160321748
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a method of health insurance market risk assessment including receiving first data including demographic and cost data for members of a health insurance plan in a current market, receiving second data including demographic data for the current market, and receiving third data including demographic data for a new market. The first to third data are used to transform a distribution of the plan members to account for differences between the current and new market demographic data and to estimate probabilities of enrollment in the new market. A statistical model is learned to predict risk in the new market using the transformed distribution and the estimated probabilities. The statistical model is used to determine risk of entering the new market.
