Patent number: 10984196Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating natural language observations using sequence-to-sequence models are provided. The method includes receiving a first electronic document and dynamically generating, without requiring user intervention, a first natural language observation corresponding to a first portion of the first electronic document by processing the first portion of the first electronic document using a first sequence-to-sequence model. A second natural language observation is received for the first portion of the first electronic document, and the generated first natural language observation and the authoritative natural language observation are provided. The method further includes receiving an evaluation of the first natural language observation and the second natural language observation, and refining the first sequence-to-sequence model based on the evaluation of the first natural language observation and second natural language observation.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Patrick D.

Patent number: 10986087Abstract: A method for authenticating a user is presented. Responsive to a request for access to a computer resource, a computer system prompts the user making the request to access the computer resource to perform a new motion in an environment in which the user is monitored by a sensor system. Detected biometric data in the new motion performed by the user is identified by the computer system. A determination is made as to whether the user performing the new motion is an authenticated user based on comparing the detected biometric data with stored biometric data for a prior motion performed by the authenticated user. The computer system provides access to the computer resource when the user is identified as the authenticated user.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Patrick Watson, Tengfei Ma, Maria Chang, Jae-Wook Ahn, Ravi Tejwani, Aldis Sipolins

Publication number: 20200065697Abstract: Techniques for assessing the proficiency of artificial intelligence agents and users in a given knowledge domain are described. A plurality of proficiency agents can be initialized with a plurality of proficiency scores, by performing a plurality of assessments between pairs of proficiency agents selected from the plurality of proficiency agents. A first client device associated with a first user is matched with a first proficiency agent of the plurality of proficiency agents, based on a first proficiency score associated with the first user and a second proficiency score of the plurality of proficiency scores corresponding to the first proficiency agent. Assessments results of an assessment performed between the first client device and the first proficiency agent are received, and a rating system update function is used to update the first proficiency score and the second proficiency score, based on the assessment results.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2018Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Patrick WATSON, Maria CHANG, Jae-Wook AHN, Sharad Chandra SUNDARARAJAN, Prasenjit DEY

Publication number: 20200020243Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for determining a score for a target student answer using unlabeled data. The target answer is provided by a student to a question for which there is no ground-truth answer data. A set of student answers serves as a set of pseudo-reference answers and a classifier is used to score each answer based on each other answer. In this manner, each student answer serves as a pseudo-reference answer for each other student answer. A clustering approach can also be employed to cluster a set of student answers into clusters. The centroids of the clusters can then serve as the set of pseudo-reference answers. Clustering improves the robustness and efficiency of the score determined for a target student answer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2018Publication date: January 16, 2020Inventors: Tengfei MA, Patrick WATSON, Jae-Wook AHN, Maria CHANG, Aldis SIPOLINS
