Patent number: 11222282Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a strategy associated with a new machine-learning (ML) project. There exist a plurality of ML projects, each of which includes artifacts, and for each such candidate project, the following are performed: iterations of the candidate ML project are divided into a first phase, including a first set of iterations, and a second phase, including a second set of iterations; a workload to generate the candidate ML project in the first phase is determined; a performance of the candidate ML project in the first phase is determined; an additional workload to generate the candidate ML project in the second phase is determined; and an increased performance of the candidate ML project in the second phase is determined. Final ML projects are selected from the candidate ML projects, based on the strategy. Artifacts of the final ML projects are incorporated into the new ML project.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kei Sugano, Hironori Takeuchi, Masato Noguchi, Toshiyuki Sanuki

Patent number: 11003854Abstract: A method retrains a lexical analysis model. One or more processors divide a token in a document into a first sub-token having a boundary that begins with a start point of a mention and a second sub-token that ends at an end point of the mention. The processor(s) determine that the start/end point of the mention does not coincide with a start/end point of the first sub-token; concatenate the first sub-token with the second sub-token to create a concatenated token; and store the concatenated token in a user dictionary for the document. The processor(s) perform a morphological analysis of the document using the concatenated token from the user dictionary, and retrain a lexical analysis model for the document by leveraging the performing of the morphological analysis of the document.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ken Kumagai, Akihiro Nakayama, Kei Sugano

Patent number: 10200483Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for creating a social network service (SNS) community is provided. The method may include receiving a message from a user associated with an SNS. The method may also include determining a location of the received message based on a time and a position associated with the received message. The method may then include identifying at least one device from within a plurality of registered devices having the same location. The method may further include determining at least one device user based on the identified at least one device. The method may also include creating an SNS community based on the user and the determined at least one device user. The method may then include distributing messages between the user and the determined at least one device user.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hirofumi Nishikawa, Tomohiro Shioya, Kei Sugano, Shoichiro Watanabe

Patent number: 9852329Abstract: A computer characterizes an area of interest in an event attended by an audience by receiving behavior information for an audience attending the event and event activity information for one or more areas in the event venue. The computer analyzes the audience behavior and event activity to determine the areas in the event venue to which the audience pays attention. The computer determines the objects in the areas in the event venue and determines one or more areas of interest based on the areas in the event venue to which the audience pays attention and the objects in the areas in the event venue to which the audience pays attention. The computer calculates a characteristic of the areas of interest in the event based on: the areas of interest, the objects in the areas in the event venue, and the analyzed audience behavior information related to the areas of interest.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hirofumi Nishikawa, Tomohiro Shioya, Kei Sugano, Shoichiro Watanabe

Patent number: 9756683Abstract: A method for transferring data among communication devices. The method includes a first communication device receiving, from a second communication device, data to be transferred and a condition defining a range of data transfer. The first communication device then determines whether a third communication device satisfies the condition defining the range of data transfer. On condition that the first communication device determines that the third communication device satisfies the condition, the first communication device directly transfers the data and the condition to the third communication device.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hirofumi Nishikawa, Tomohiro Shioya, Kei Sugano, Shoichiro Watanabe
