  • Patent number: 11770474
    Abstract: Methods and systems described in this disclosure receive a call from a caller, generate a first session through a first channel associated with the caller when the call is received and then send a request for authentication credentials to a device associated with the caller. In some embodiments, sending the request for authentication credentials generates a second session through a second channel associated with the caller. The caller can be authenticated to the first session using communication received during the second session through the second channel.

  • Publication number: 20220366288
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum computing method is described. In some aspects, a control system in a quantum computing system assigns subsets of qubit devices in a quantum processor to respective cores. The control system identifies boundary qubit devices residing between the cores in the quantum processor and generates control sequences for each respective core. A signal delivery system in communication with the control system and the quantum processor receives control signals to execute the control sequences, and the control signals are applied to the respective cores in the quantum processor.

  • Publication number: 20220245497
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a computing system is configured to execute a quantum approximate optimization algorithm. In some aspects, a control system identifies a pair of qubit devices in a quantum processor. The quantum processor includes a connection that provides coupling between the pair of qubit devices. ZZ coupling between the pair of qubit devices is activated to execute a cost function defined in the quantum approximate optimization algorithm. The cost function is associated with a maximum cut problem, and the ZZ coupling is activated by allowing the pair of qubits to evolve under a natural Hamiltonian for a time period ?. One or more of the pair of qubit devices is measured to obtain an output from an execution of the quantum approximate optimization algorithm.

  • Patent number: 11341330
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is computer technology that provides adaptive mechanisms for learning concepts that are expressed by natural language sentences, and then applies this learning to appropriately classify new natural language sentences with the relevant concept that they express. The computer technology can also discover the uniqueness of terms within a training corpus, and sufficiently unique terms can be flagged for the user for possible updates to an ontology for the system.

  • Patent number: 11334726
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is computer technology that applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to training data to generate information used to train a natural language generation (NLG) system to produce output that stylistically resembles the training data. In this fashion, the NLG system can be readily trained with training data supplied by a user so that the NLG system is adapted to produce output that stylistically resembles such training data. In an example, an NLP system detects a plurality of linguistic features in the training data. These detected linguistic features are then aggregated into a specification data structure that is arranged for training the NLG system to produce natural language output that stylistically resembles the training data. Parameters in the specification data structure can be linked to objects in an ontology used by the NLG system to facilitate the training of the NLG system based on the detected linguistic features.
