  • Patent number: 11663851
    Abstract: An implicit bias monitoring system is provided. The system receives sensor data including video and audio that are captured during an interaction between a first individual and a second individual. The system determines a set of attributes associated with the interaction based on the received sensor data, the set of attributes comprising at least one of race and gender of the second individual. The system detects an implicit bias based on a combination of the determined set of attributes and a bias profile. The system generates an alert based on the detected implicit bias.

  • Patent number: 10904488
    Abstract: A system includes a processor and logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor. The logic is configured to train a participant model on video streams of a participant and train the participant model on environmental parameters. The logic is also configured to store the trained participant model. The trained participant model is usable to generate a synthetic video representation of the participant. A computer-implemented method includes generating, by the computer, a synthetic video representation of a participant based on at least a trained participant model corresponding to the participant and live audio input. In response to a trigger event, the method includes replacing, by the computer, live video transmission with a synthetic video transmission that is based at least in part on the synthetic video representation.

  • Patent number: 10885080
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a conversation monitoring system. The conversation monitoring system monitors a conversation between at least two participants and extracting, by the conversation monitoring system, key terms present in communications between the at least two participants. The conversation monitoring system generates a provenance graph data structure based on the extraction of the key terms where the provenance graph data structure has speaker nodes representing the at least two participants, term nodes representing the key terms present in the communications, and edges connecting nodes in the provenance graph. The conversation monitoring system analyzes the provenance graph data structure to identify a relative ranking of the key terms within the conversation and generates an output representing content of the conversation based on the relative ranking of the key terms.

  • Patent number: 10713303
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method is described to provide a visualization tool which portrays the certain equivalent for one or more hypothetical (i.e. synthetic) or real probability distributions p(m), and optionally allows the user to manipulate that representation, resulting in associated changes to the underlying utility function u(m). In a first example, the risk preference visualization tool allows one to explore how the certain equivalent depends upon the probability distribution p(m), for a fixed utility function u(m). In a second example, the risk preference visualization tool allows one to explore how the certain equivalent depends upon the utility function u(m), assuming one or more fixed probability distributions p1(m), p2 (m), etc. In a third example, the decision maker can provide feedback through the visualization tool that would cause their utility function to be modified.

  • Patent number: 10693827
    Abstract: A method for checking against transmitting a message to an unintended recipient, includes developing, using a processor on a computer, a training model of a linguistic profile of messages previously transmitted electronically by a user to a recipient, by iteratively computing a composite feature vector over a set of all messages previously transmitted electronically to the recipient, the iterations for developing the training model continuing until summed proportional changes across all features falls below a first preset threshold value.

  • Patent number: 10665066
    Abstract: A system includes, but is not limited to, a hardware controller for adjusting a dynamically modifiable display on a garment; and an environmental dominant hue sensor that detects a real-time dominant hue of an environment in which the garment is located, where the hardware controller adjusts the dynamically modifiable display based on a real-time detected dominant hue of the environment in which the garment is located in order to increase a color contrast between the dynamically modifiable display and the real-time detected dominant hue of the environment in which the garment is located.

  • Patent number: 10620911
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method are provided for use with an intelligent computer platform to convert audio data intents to one or more physical actions. The aspect of converting audio data intent includes receiving audio, converting the audio to text, parsing the text into segments, identifying a physical action and associated application that are proximal in time to the received audio. A corpus is searched for evidence of the text to identify evidence of a physical user interface trace with a select application. An outcome is generated from the evidence. The outcome includes an instruction to invoke a user interface trace with the select application as a representation of the received audio.

  • Patent number: 10620912
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method are provided for use with an intelligent computer platform to convert speech intents to one or more physical actions. The aspect of converting speech intent includes receiving audio, converting the audio to text, parsing the text into segments, identifying a physical action and associated application that are proximal in time to the received audio. A corpus is searched for evidence of a pattern associated with the received audio and corresponding physical action(s) and associated application. An outcome is generated from the evidence. The outcome includes identification of an application and production of an affirmative instruction. The instruction is converted to a user interface trace that is executed within the identified application.
