Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for identity authentication across multiple institutions using a trusted mobile device as a proxy for a user login. In one example, the operations include identifying a request to trust a particular user associated with a first entity in a digital ID network. A set of personally identifiable information (PII) associated with the user is obtained via the first entity and an identity verification (IDV)/fraud risk analysis is performed. In response to satisfying the analysis, instructions are transmitted to the user to verify the identity via a mobile trust application on an associated mobile device. Upon verification, the mobile device is bound to the user within the digital ID network along with a digital ID associated with the particular user. The digital ID can be used by other entities registered within the digital ID network to authenticate the user.

Abstract: An entity learning recognition method, system, and computer program product include learning (i.e., in a training phase) from at least one entity to produce augments entities such that an augmented entity is still recognizable as the original entity but differs sufficiently to produce a different feature representation of the entity to create a database for use (i.e., in an implementation phase).

Abstract: Disclosed is a domain filter capable of determining an n-gram distance between a seed domain and each of a plurality of candidate domains. The domain filter loads a seed domain n-gram for the seed domain and a candidate domain n-gram for each candidate domain in memory, compares the seed domain n-gram and the candidate domain n-gram to identify any identical grams, removes any identical grams from the seed domain n-gram, and determines how many grams are left in the seed domain n-gram, representing the n-gram distance between the seed domain and the candidate domain. The domain filter then compares n-gram distances thus determined with a predetermined threshold, eliminates any candidate domain having an n-gram distance from the seed domain that exceeds the predetermined threshold, and provides remaining candidate domains to a downstream computing facility such as a user interface or an analytical module operating in an enterprise computing environment.

Abstract: An entity learning recognition method, system, and computer program product include learning (i.e., in a training phase) from at least one entity to produce augments entities such that an augmented entity is still recognizable as the original entity but differs sufficiently to produce a different feature representation of the entity to create a database for use (i.e., in an implementation phase).

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for classifying time series image data. Aspects of the invention include encoding motion information from video frames in an eccentricity map. An eccentricity map is essentially a static image that aggregates apparent motion of objects, surfaces, and edges, from a plurality of video frames. In general, eccentricity reflects how different a data point is from the past readings of the same set of variables. Neural networks can be trained to detect and classify actions in videos from eccentricity maps. Eccentricity maps can be provided to a neural network as input. Output from the neural network can indicate if detected motion in a video is or is not classified as an action, such as, for example, a hand gesture.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a system and method of allocating a resource based on myriad input data. In some embodiments, the myriad input data include membership information, claims data, transactional data, etc. The myriad input data are sorted and organized in a meaningful association relationship before applied to a resource allocation modeling algorithm. The resource allocation modeling algorithm provides estimated resource necessary for the application chosen. For example, an insurance company may use membership information, claims data, transactional data, etc., to estimate how much reserves or funds it should hold to cover future claims within a certain timeframe.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a scaled-out transport supported by interconnected data processing units (DPUs) that operates as a single system bus connection proxy for device-to-device communications within a data center. As one example, this disclosure describes techniques for providing a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) proxy for device-to-device communications employing the PCIe standard. The disclosed techniques include adding PCIe proxy logic on top of a host unit of a DPU to expose a PCIe proxy model to application processors, storage devices, network interface controllers, field programmable gate arrays, or other PCIe endpoint devices. The PCIe proxy model may be implemented as a physically distributed Ethernet-based switch fabric with PCIe proxy logic at the edge and fronting the PCIe endpoint devices. The interconnected DPUs and the distributed Ethernet-based switch fabric together provide a reliable, low-latency, and scaled-out transport that operates as a PCIe proxy.

Abstract: A system of reducing transmissions of packetized data in a voice activated data packet based computer network environment is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. Based on the input audio signal, a direct action application programming interface can generate a first action data structure, and a content selector component can select a content item. An interface management component can identify candidate interfaces and determine if prior instances of the packetized data was transmitted to the candidate interfaces. The interface management component can prevent the transmission of the packetized data if determined to be redundant, such as having previously received the data, and instead transmit it to a separate client device of a different device type.
