  • Publication number: 20220001885
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product controls a driving mode of a self-driving vehicle (SDV). One or more processors compare a control processor competence level of an on-board SDV control processor in controlling the SDV to a human driver competence level of a human driver in controlling the SDV while the SDV encounters a current roadway condition which is a result of current weather conditions of the roadway on which the SDV is currently traveling. One or more processors then selectively assign control of the SDV to the SDV control processor or to the human driver while the SDV encounters the current roadway condition based on which of the control processor competence level and the human driver competence level is relatively higher to one another.

  • Patent number: 11176499
    Abstract: Data is obtained specifying a measure of a data set to be analyzed by human experts and allotted time for analysis completion. Based on same, a schedule is created for a primary meeting of human experts, whose aim is to analyze the data. The meeting is evaluated to create rate estimates for hypothetical meeting partitions; and, if the primary meeting is not adhering to schedule and/or can be speeded up, the meeting partitions are simulated until a partitioning scheme is determined that can restore the meeting to schedule and/or speed it up. In another aspect, a model of focus of attention of each member of a group of individuals engaged in an activity requiring cooperation is dynamically updated, and a cooperation index is determined based on the model of focus of attention, an interaction graph, and at least one physiological parameter of at least one of the members.

  • Publication number: 20210304891
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for training a hybrid machine learning (ML) computer model to simulate a biophysical system of a patient and predict patient classifications based on results of simulating the biophysical system. A mechanistic model is executed to generate a training dataset. A surrogate ML model is trained to replicate logic of the mechanistic computer model and generate patient feature outputs based on surrogate ML model input parameters. A transformation ML model is trained to transform patient feature outputs of the surrogate ML model into a distribution of patient features. A generative ML model is trained to encode samples from a uniform distribution of input patient data into mechanistic model parameter inputs that are coherent to the target distribution of patient features and are input to the surrogate ML model. Input patient data for a patient is processed through the ML models to predict a patient classification for the patient.
