Patent number: 10990903Abstract: A self-learning system for categorizing log entries may be provided. The system may display a first log entry and receive a categorical identifier for the first log entry. The system may parse the first log entry for predetermined text information and predetermined image information. The predetermined text information may be included in a datafield classifier and the predetermined image information included in a metadata classifier. The system may identify the predetermined text information in the log entry and adjust a first prioritization of respective categorical identifiers included in the datafield classifier. The system may identify the predetermined image information in the first log entry and adjust a second prioritization of the respective categorical identifiers included in the metadata classifier. The system may map a second log entry to the categorical identifier based on adjustment of the first prioritization or adjustment of the second prioritization.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LIMITEDInventors: Abhilash Alexander Miranda, Laura Alvarez, Medb Corcoran, Edward Burgin, Kristine Marie Renker, Kris Timmermans, Kimberly De Maeseneer, Amaury Reychler, Shinichiro Shuda, Robert Willems, Laura O'Malley, Urvesh Bhowan, Pedro Sacristan

Patent number: 10885531Abstract: A counterfeit detection system provides an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that implements a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to classify an image as one of a fake or genuine item and integrates a Classification Activation Module (CAM) to refine counterfeit detection. The GAN may include a generator that generates simulated counterfeit images for a discriminator. The discriminator may be trained to identify faked items by learning from the simulated counterfeit images and/or images of actual faked items. The discriminator may implement a deep neural network of convolutional layers that each analyze a region of an image and produce a weighted output that contributes to the classification based on the analyzed region. The CAM may identify the regions and weights relied upon by the discriminator, provide corresponding heatmaps to subject matter experts, receive annotations from the subject matter experts, and use the annotations as feedback to refine the classifier of the discriminator.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LIMITEDInventors: Edward Philip Burgin, Milad Alucozai, Laura Alvarez Jubete, Gaurav Kaila, Victor Oliveira Antonino

Patent number: 10685044Abstract: An identification and management system for log entries may filter historical data and generate closed log entries as a reference dataset. A dynamic learning engine may perform statistical modelling using the reference dataset to assign predetermined categories to each of a number of open log entries. An automation index may be generated for each of the open log entries. The automation index is indicative of accuracy of the assigned categories. Some of the open log entries may be identified as priority log entries which are representative of a group of the open log entries. The assigned category of the priority log entries may be analyzed for accuracy and the results of the analysis may be used to train the statistical model so that the open log entries may be iteratively assigned and re-assigned a category until the category of each open log entry reaches a desired accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2017Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Abhilash Alexander Miranda, Laura Alvarez, Edward Burgin, Victor Oliveira Antonino, Yaxuan Yu, Gaurav Kaila, Medb Corcoran, Jessica Maria Kearney, Konstantinos Mammas

Patent number: 10315360Abstract: A manufacturing method of structures formed co-bonding second structural components to a first structural component. The method comprises the following steps: a) preparing for each second structural component an ensemble wherein a preform of the second structural component, surrounded by a band of a suitable material to form a vacuum bag, is disposed between curing tools which are thus in contact with the bag and not with the preform; b) positioning the ensembles on the first structural component and forming the vacuum bag for the complete structure joining the bands and complementary pieces; c) applying to the resulting assembly an autoclave cycle.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Airbus Operations S.L.Inventors: Yolanda Miguez Charines, Francisco Javier Jordan Carnicero, Augusto Perez Pastor, Angel Pablo Gordo, Laura Alvarez Antonon
