  • Patent number: 11586652
    Abstract: A data structure is used to configure and transform a computer machine learning system. The data structure has one or more records where each record is a (vector) representation of a selected object in a corpus. One or more non-zero parameters in the records define the selected object and the number of the non-zero parameters define a word length of the record. One or more zero-value parameters are in one or more of the records. The word length of the object representation varies, e.g. can increase, as necessary to accurately represent the object within one or more contexts provided during training of a neural network used to create the database, e.g. as more and more contexts are introduced during the training. A minimum number of non-zero parameters are needed and zero-value parameters can be clustered together and compressed to save large amounts of system storage and shorten execution times.

  • Patent number: 10762297
    Abstract: Embodiments for semantic hierarchical grouping of short text fragments by a processor. Sub-terms are extracted from a plurality of input text fragments according to a lexical sub-term hierarchy. Each of the sub-terms in the lexical sub-term hierarchy are matched with concepts based on an ontology of concepts representing a domain knowledge. The input text fragments are automatically grouped into a hierarchy of concepts based on the matching and a semantical relationship between each concept and matching sub-term.

  • Patent number: 10366331
    Abstract: There is provided a method, a system and a computer program product for supporting a decision making process. The system receives a decision model from a decision maker, the decision model used for determining a solution to a decision problem based on attributes and uncertainties of the decision problem. The decision problem includes information about a plurality of outcome vectors that represent all possible outcomes and the uncertainties associated with the decision problem. The system determines whether the received decision model can be solved without receiving any preference information from the decision maker. The system receives partially specified preference information from the decision maker if the received decision model cannot be solved without any preference information. The system solves the decision model with the partially specified preference information. The system recommends, based on the solution, one or more decisions to the decision maker.

  • Patent number: 9652719
    Abstract: A system and computer program product that facilitates authoring of a Bayesian Belief Networks by: accessing text content stored in a content storage device; identifying statements within said accessed text content indicating a dependence relation; extracting said statements indicating said dependence relation from said text content; and aggregating said extracted statements into a form suitable for representation as a BBN network structure. To identify statements indicating a dependence relation, the system identifies one or more lexical and semantic attributes of variables within a text unit indicating a conditional dependence relation between two or more variables. The system further processes the text content to extract probabilistic information and probability statements and aggregate the probability statements into a quantitative layer of the BBN structure.
