Patent number: 12579357Abstract: A method for labeling a data set by a coding model includes generating multiple sets of related initial labels based on processing a data set with a group of initial labels. The method also includes determining a quantity of occurrences, within the data set, of each one of the group of initial labels and each related initial label of the multiple sets of related initial labels. The method further includes determining, for each initial label of the group of initial labels, a breadth score based on the number of occurrences of each related initial label. The method still further includes updating one or more of the group of initial labels based on respective breadth scores satisfying a label updating condition. The method also includes labeling the data set based on the group of initial labels and the multiple sets of related initial labels.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2022Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignees: TOYOTA RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Monica PhuongThao Van, Yin-Ying Chen, Kenton Michael Lyons, Francine Chen

Publication number: 20250131056Abstract: An apparatus for determining an erroneous cause for a belief and presenting interventions. The apparatus includes one or more memories comprising processor-executable instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the processor-executable instructions and cause the apparatus to receive a communication through at least one of a direct method or indirect method, extract a target belief, identify an attributable cause based on the communication, compile known causes of the target belief and determine if the known cause is false, compare the attributable cause to the known causes and generate a score based on an amount of similarities, determine that the attributable cause corresponds to a known cause that is false, when the score is greater than a predetermined threshold, and generate interventions for presentation on the user interface device based on the determination that the attributable cause corresponds to the known cause that is false.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicants: Toyota Research Institute, Inc., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Francine R. Chen, Totte Harinen, Kenton Michael Lyons, Alexandre L.S. Filipowicz

Publication number: 20240386473Abstract: A method for monitoring user purchase making activity is described. The method includes logging a potential user purchase and purchase communications corresponding to a potential option available for purchase by a user. The method also includes predicting whether loss aversion is a factor in a purchase making process of the potential option available for purchase by the user. The method further includes determining a purchase recommendation in response to identifying that the loss aversion is the factor in the potential purchase making process of the potential option available for purchase by the user. The method also includes displaying the purchase recommendation based on a use frequency of the option purchased by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2023Publication date: November 21, 2024Applicants: TOYOTA RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Francine R. CHEN, Kenton Michael LYONS, Totte Harri HARINEN, Alexandre Leo Stephen FILIPOWICZ

Publication number: 20240320442Abstract: A method for a credible information guide is described. The method includes identifying a source of content accessed by a user as a non-credible information source if a credibility score is less than a credibility threshold. The method also includes determining a similarity of a message between content of the non-credible information source and a credible content from one or more credible information sources. The method further includes recommending a selected information source to the user, having a credibility score between the non-credible information source and the one or more credible information sources when a lack of message similarity is determined. The method also includes continuing the recommending of selected information sources having gradually increasing credibility scores until a credible source accessed by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2023Publication date: September 26, 2024Applicants: TOYOTA RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Alexandre Leo Stephen FILIPOWICZ, Francine R .

Publication number: 20240232247Abstract: A method for inferring intent and discrepancies in a label coding scheme is described. The method includes compiling data indicating how one or more individuals labeled unstructured content according to the label coding scheme comprising a plurality of labels. The method also includes analyzing a context associated with a content labeled in a particular manner by the one or more individuals. The method further includes detecting discrepancies of meaning for a particular label used by the one or more individuals. The method also includes inferring a strategic thinking of the one or more individuals associated with the discrepancies of meaning detected for the particular label. The method further includes displaying recorded metadata associated with the strategic thinking and the discrepancies of meaning detected for the particular label between the one or more individuals regarding a coded dataset.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2022Publication date: July 11, 2024Applicants: TOYOTA RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yin-Ying CHEN, Shabnam HAKIMI, Kenton Michael LYONS, Yanxia ZHANG, Matthew Kyung-Soo HONG, Totte HARINEN, Monica PhuongThao VAN, Charlene WU
