Patents by Inventor Manik BHANDARI

Manik BHANDARI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11922129
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided that includes accessing candidate text and a candidate pair including first and second phrases, substituting the first and second phrases into cause-effect patterns to generate variant sentences. An artificial intelligence model is leveraged to determine respective probabilities that the variant sentences are inferred from the candidate text, calculate a statistical measure of the respective probabilities, and assess the calculated statistical measure to ascertain whether the first and second phrases possess a causal relationship or non-causal relationship to one another. A knowledge base including one or more pairs of cause-effect phrase pairs is populated with the first and second phrases possessing the causal relationship. A computer system and a computer program product are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 22, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 5, 2024
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Manik Bhandari, Oktie Hassanzadeh, Mark David Feblowitz, Kavitha Srinivas, Shirin Sohrabi Araghi

  • Patent number: 10614562
    Abstract: According to examples, inventory, growth, and risk prediction using image processing may include receiving a plurality of images captured by a vehicle during movement of the vehicle along a vehicle path. The images may include a plurality of objects. The images may be pre-processed for feature extraction. A plurality of features of the objects may be extracted from the pre-processed images by using a combination of computer vision techniques. A parameter related to the objects may be determined from the extracted features. A spatial density model may be generated, based on the determined parameter and the extracted features, to provide a visual indication of density of distribution of the objects related to a portion of the images, and/or to provide an alert corresponding to the objects related to the portion of the images.
