  • Publication number: 20240428133
    Abstract: A system and method includes obtaining an incumbent model and a candidate model, generating a plurality of synthetic model input datasets, computing, for each synthetic model input dataset, a model performance efficacy metric and a model fairness efficacy metric for the incumbent model based on assessing model output data of the incumbent model that corresponds to each respective synthetic model input dataset of the plurality of synthetic model input datasets, computing, for each synthetic model input dataset, a model performance efficacy metric and a model fairness efficacy metric for the candidate model based on assessing model output data of the candidate model that corresponds to each respective synthetic model input dataset of the plurality of synthetic model input datasets, computing, for the candidate model, a disparity-mitigating model viability score, and displaying, via a graphical user interface, a representation of the candidate model in association with the disparity-mitigating model viability sc

  • Patent number: 12039457
    Abstract: A system and method includes generating approximate distributions for distinct classes of data samples; computing a first partial Jensen-Shannon (JS) divergence and a second partial JS divergence based on the approximate distribution of the disparity affected class of data samples with reference to the approximate distribution of the control class of data samples; computing a disparity divergence based on the first partial JS divergence and the second partial JS divergence; generating a distribution-matching term based on the disparity divergence, wherein the distribution-matching term mitigates an inferential disparity between the control class of data samples and the disparity affected class of data samples during a training of an unconstrained artificial neural network; constructing a disparity-constrained loss function based on augmenting a target loss function with the distribution-matching term; and transforming the unconstrained ANN to a disparity-constrained ANN based on a training of the unconstraine

  • Patent number: 8219386
    Abstract: The Arabic poetry meter identification system and method produces coded Al-Khalyli transcriptions of Arabic poetry. The meters (Wazn, Awzan being forms of the Arabic poems units Bayt, Abyate) are identified. A spoken or written poem is accepted as input. A coded transcription of the poetry pattern forms is produced from input processing. The system identifies and distinguishes between proper spoken poetic meter and improper poetic meter. Error in the poem meters (Bahr, Buhur) and the ending rhyme pattern, “Qafiya” are detected and verified. The system accepts user selection of a desired poem meter and then interactively aids the user in the composition of poetry in the selected meter, suggesting alternative words and word groups that follow the desired poem pattern and dactyl components. The system can be in a stand-alone device or integrated with other computing devices.
