  • Patent number: 12530399
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for using an artificial intelligence (AI) model to support tasks for different program codes. For example, a computer system can determine a request of an application that is executing on a device. The application can include program codes that each provide content functions and present content at a user interface for the application. The request may be associated with contextual data and user data and may indicate content entities for a first program code. The computer system can input the content entities, the contextual data, and the user data into an AI model that is trained on historical data associated with the content functions. The AI model can output a relevance score or an embedding vector for the content entities that can be used in performing the first content function and presenting the content entities on the user interface.

  • Patent number: 10854189
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for training a language recognition model. For example, a language recognition model may be maintained and associated with a reference language (e.g., English). The language recognition model may be configured to accept as input an utterance in the reference language and to identify a feature to be executed in response to receiving the utterance. New language data (e.g., other utterances) provided in a different language (e.g., German) may be obtained. This new language data may be translated to English and utilized to retrain the model to recognize reference language data as well as language data translated to the reference language. Subsequent utterances (e.g., English utterances, or German utterances translated to English) may be provided to the updated model and a feature may be identified. One or more instructions may be sent to a user device to execute a set of instructions associated with the feature.

  • Patent number: 9020874
    Abstract: In a support vector regression approach to forecasting power load in an electrical grid, a feature learning scheme weights each feature in the input data with its correlation with the predicted load, increasing the prediction accuracy. The kernel matrix for the input training data is computed such that features that align better with the target variable are given greater weight. The resulting load forecast may be used to compute commands sent to demand response modules.

  • Patent number: 8645311
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining critical thresholds on a number of events (k) and a window length (t) for properly defining a burst of events in a data stream. A new coverage metric Ck,t is defined and used in the determination, where the coverage metric Ck,t is defined for a particular pair (k,t) as a fraction, with the numerator defined a number of events that occur within some (k,t)-bursty window and the denominator defined as the total number of events (n) that occurred along the entire time span being analyzed. Coverage metric Ck,t is monotonic non-increasing in k and monotonic non-decreasing in t, allowing for a divide-and-conquer search strategy to be used to find the critical threshold pairs (k*, t*).

  • Patent number: 8527251
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a patient specific anatomical heart model is disclosed. Volumetric image data, such as computed tomography (CT), echocardiography, or magnetic resonance (MR) image data of a patient's cardiac region is received. Individual models for multiple heart components, such as the left ventricle (LV) endocardium, LV epicardium, right ventricle (RV), left atrium (LA), right atrium (RA), mitral valve, aortic valve, aorta, and pulmonary trunk, are estimated in said volumetric cardiac image data. A multi-component patient specific anatomical heart model is generated by integrating the individual models for each of the heart components. Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations are performed on the patient specific anatomical model, and patient specific clinical parameters are extracted based on the patient specific heart model and the FSI simulations. Disease progression modeling and risk stratification are performed based on the patient specific clinical parameters.

  • Patent number: 8423493
    Abstract: An approach is provided for condition monitoring from log messages and sensor trends based on time semi-intervals. The approach may be applied to machine condition monitoring. Patterns are mined from symbolic interval data that extends previous approaches by allowing semi-intervals and partially ordered patterns. The semi-interval patterns and semi-interval partial order patterns are less restrictive than patterns using Allen's relations. Combinations and adaptations of efficient algorithms from sequential pattern and itemset mining for discovery of semi-interval patterns are described.
