  • Publication number: 20250103894
    Abstract: Retrieving content items in response to a query in a way that increases user satisfaction and increases chances of users consuming a retrieved content item is not trivial. One retrieval strategy may include dividing the content items into buckets according to a dimension about the content items and retrieving a top K number of items from different buckets to balance semantic affinity and the dimension. Choosing an optimal K for different buckets for a given query can be a challenge. Reinforcement learning can be used to train and implement an agent model that can choose the optimal K for different buckets.

  • Publication number: 20250045575
    Abstract: Pre-trained large language models may be trained on a large data set which may not necessarily align with specific tasks, business goals, and requirements. Pre-trained large language models can solve generic semantic relationship or question-answering type problems but may not be suited for content item retrieval or recommendation of content items that are semantically relevant to a query. It is possible to build a machine learning model while using transfer learning to learn from pre-trained large language models. Training data can significantly impact the performance of machine learning models, especially machine learning models developed using transfer learning. The training data can impact a model's performance, generalization, fairness, and adaptation to specific domains. To address some of these concerns, a popularity bucketing strategy can be implemented to debias training data. Optionally, an ensemble of models can be used to generate diverse training data.

  • Publication number: 20250045535
    Abstract: Training data can significantly impact the performance of machine learning models. Its impact may be more significant in transfer learning. Different data sources can be used to generate training data used in transfer learning. The training data originating from user interaction logs may be subject to presentation bias. The training data originating from model generated labeled data may have false positives. Poor quality training data may cause the machine learning model to perform poorly. To address some of these concerns, a checker having one or more models can check for false positives and for labeled data entries that may have been subject to presentation bias. Such entries may be removed or modified. In some cases, the checker can generate a test that can be used to test the machine learning model and penalize the machine learning model if the model generates an incorrect prediction.

  • Publication number: 20240411498
    Abstract: A dual-screen computing device includes two separate displays that are coupled to an interconnecting hinge. A hinge detector detects movement or position of the hinge, and the positions of the displays may be determined based on the hinge movement or position. The positions of the displays relative to each other may then be used to determine which mode of operation the dual-screen computing device is operating (e.g., tent mode, open, closed, etc.). Additionally, the dual-screen computing device may include various sensors that detect different environmental, orientation, location, and device-specific information. Applications are configured to operate differently based on the mode of operation and, optionally, the sensor data detected by the sensors.

  • Publication number: 20240346084
    Abstract: Disclosed are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments that retrieve items for a user based on a query using a two-tower deep machine learning model. An example embodiment provides input to a context tower, wherein the input includes the query and one or more of a query embedding corresponding to the query or a graph user embedding corresponding to the user. The context tower generates a context embedding in a vector space based on the input. The model determines a measure of similarity between the context embedding and each of a plurality of item embeddings in the vector space that are generated by an item tower and represent a plurality of candidate items. A relevancy score is calculated for each candidate item based on the measure of similarity between the context embedding and the corresponding item embedding. The relevancy scores are used for item retrieval and/or ranking.

    Abstract: A deep-learning based method evaluates similarities of entities in decentralized identity graphs. One or more processors represent a first identity profile as a first identity graph and a second identity profile as a second identity graph. The processor(s) compare the first identity graph to the second identity graph, which are decentralized identity graphs from different identity networks, in order to determine a similarity score between the first identity profile and the second identity profile. The processor(s) then implement a security action based on the similarity score.
