  • Publication number: 20250103946
    Abstract: An embodiment senses a survey sequence, responsive to the sensed survey sequence, inputs the sensed survey sequence into a prediction model. The embodiment comprises a prediction model wherein the prediction model comprises training a hidden Markov model on a previously administered survey with a corresponding response status as a hidden status and a corresponding linguistic metric as an observation. The embodiment computes a probability of a response status of the sensed survey sequence as an output of the prediction model based at least in part on the previously administered survey.

  • Patent number: 11902356
    Abstract: Computer technology for performing a download of a set of file(s) by multiple computer devices. Different computer devices respectively download different parts of the set of files and respectively encapsulate them with file wrappers to create multiple “sealed off portions.” Each sealed off portion indicates what portion of the code of the set of file(s) is in that sealed off portion. The multiple sealed off portions are transferred (for example, over a local area network) to another computer device, which may, or may not, be one of the multiple computers that created one of the sealed off portions, and this computer device assembles the sealed off portions to re-create the set of file(s).
