  • Publication number: 20240135106
    Abstract: A computer-implemented process includes obtaining a natural-language-text document comprising a first and second clause and determining first and second embedding sequences based on n-grams of the first and second clauses. The process includes generating data model objects based on the embedding sequences and determining an association between the first data model object and the second data model object based on a shared parameter of the first and second clauses. The process includes receiving a query including the first category and the first n-gram and causing a presentation of a visualization of data model objects that includes shapes based on the data model objects and a third shape based on the association between the first data model object and the second data model object.

  • Patent number: 11933859
    Abstract: In some examples, apparatus comprises a multiplexer (MUX) adapted to be coupled to a set of battery cells and configured to provide a voltage of a different battery cell in the set of battery cells based on a MUX control signal. Apparatus comprises a comparator coupled to the MUX and configured to compare a MUX output signal to a threshold voltage to provide a comparator output signal. Apparatus comprises a digital control circuit configured to provide the MUX control signal to the MUX, to store the comparator output signal, and to use a logic AND gate to provide an AND gate output signal based on the stored comparator output signal.

  • Patent number: 11663320
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for creating an effective baseline for controlling software and programs running on a user device or virtual machine environment of an enterprise network. Historical data may be used to train one or more iterative machine learning processes for intelligently identifying relevant program characteristics and aiding or automating a determination as to a software or program's need, usage, redundancy, or security. Determinations regarding software or program classifications may be used for further review or automated control of software or program execution within a network environment.

  • Publication number: 20230075341
    Abstract: Techniques include obtaining a location of a trigger word located in unstructured text of a natural-language-text document; determining, based on the location, a set of words following the trigger word in the unstructured text; conducting a lattice decoding operation for the set of words to determine a clause associated with the trigger word, the operation comprising: determining a clause decoding lattice for the set of words defining one or more paths, between the trigger word and the end of clause token, through the set of words; selecting a path of the clause decoding lattice; and determining, based on the path selected, the clause including one or more words of the set of words that correspond to the path selected; and generating and storing a data model object including the clause associated with the trigger word.

  • Patent number: 11132403
    Abstract: A method includes finding a smart contract that includes an associative array of entities, an associative array of conditions, and a serialized array of vertices. The method also includes deserializing the serialized array of vertices to generate a directed graph and determining a set of triggered vertices based on the directed graph and the event. Each of the set of triggered vertices is indicated as triggerable and is associated with a norm condition that is triggered by the event. The method includes updating the directed graph by updating a norm status associated with the triggered vertices and updating child vertices of the triggered vertices. The method includes updating the serialized array of vertices by serializing the updated directed graph and persisting the serialized array of vertices to a storage of the computer system.
