  • Patent number: 11929063
    Abstract: A supervised discriminator for detecting bio-markers in an audio sample dataset is trained and a denoising autoencoder is trained to learn a latent space that is used to reconstruct an output audio sample with a same fidelity as an input audio sample of the audio sample dataset. A conditional auxiliary generative adversarial network (GAN) trained to generate the output audio sample with the same fidelity as the input audio sample, wherein the output audio sample is void of the bio-markers. The conditional auxiliary generative adversarial network (GAN), the corresponding supervised discriminator, and the corresponding denoising autoencoder are deployed in an audio processing system.

  • Publication number: 20240045099
    Abstract: Concepts are proposed for augmenting a plurality of climate impact and hazard models. In particular, the plurality of climate impact and hazard models are modified/altered based on a user-specified requirement (i.e., a specified geographical location, temporal location or hazard type) and at least one intelligent (i.e., AI-enabled) workflow. Each modified climate impact and hazard model is then analyzed/processed using a machine learning model to identify model parameters which may improve the climate impact and machine learning model. An operation is then identified and executed based on the intelligent workflow, and model parameter. In this way, speed, efficiency and accuracy of climate impact and hazard models may be improved at scale.

    Abstract: User interactions with a supply chain system are monitored based on a tracked ontology enrichment process, an explainable reasoning graph is constructed based on the monitored user interactions and domain specific reasoning information; and an explainable insight of the monitored user interactions is learned, as is a user interaction embedding for an embedding space, based on the constructed explainable reasoning graph and the explainable insight. External data is incorporated into the embedding space, a joint embedding is learned based on the user interaction embedding, and missing entities and relationships are identified for incorporation into an ontology based on the user interactions and joint embedding. The ontology is revised to incorporate the missing entities and relationships into the ontology to create a revised ontology, and a supply chain is controlled based on the revised ontology.

    Abstract: Spatio-temporal climate forecasts are analyzed and one or more resiliency policies for a supply chain are dynamically generated. The resiliency policy is embedded in a resiliency reasoning graph and a temporal feedback loop is performed based on user feedback regarding the generated resiliency policy and user interaction with the resiliency reasoning graph. One or more machine learning models are updated based on the user feedback and a joint optimization of the machine learning models is re-solved based on the user feedback. The resiliency policy is updated based on the updated machine learning models based on the user feedback and an operation of a supply chain is adjusted based on the updated resiliency policy.

    Abstract: A first set of user data is received and a user profile is constructed based on the user data and in accordance with a sensitive service involving the user. A situational context is analyzed based on the first set of data. Personalized questions are generated, responsive to the user profile and to the situational context. The personalized questions are presented to a user corresponding to the user data and responses to same are received, including detection of user micro-expressions. The responses are analyzed, according to one or more machine learning models. A neural network model selects an action to be performed in response to analyzing the responses from the user; the action is a sensitive service involving the user. An apparatus is triggered to send a simple message service (SMS) message to a point of care service professional; the message recommends performance of the sensitive service on the user.
