Publication number: 20250037459Abstract: In an approach for interpreting one or more astronomical events and activating a network of telescopes for optimized observation of the one or more astronomical events, a processor monitors for a set of published content regarding the one or more astronomical events. Responsive to detecting the set of published content, a processor extracts, interprets, and correlates the set of published content to identify an area in space related to the one or more astronomical events for observation. A processor implements a monitoring system, wherein the monitoring system includes one or more registered telescopes of a network of telescopes to autonomously observe the area. A processor signals the one or more registered telescopes to capture an image of the one or more astronomical events. Responsive to the one or more registered telescopes capturing the image, a processor classifies one or more objects in the image. A processor publishes the image.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Arunava Majumdar, Naeem Altaf, Rahul Gupta, Soumitra Sarkar, Samuel R.

Patent number: 12147768Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program for detecting natural language (NL) bias by a conversational system is described. Embodiments of the invention determine an NL bias in a set of training questions used to train a machine learning model used by the conversational system to select a user intent. Other embodiments of the invention determine an NL bias in a user question received by the conversation system as compared to the set of training questions. The NL bias causes the machine learning to preferentially associate user queries to a user intent. In respective embodiments, the system takes a corrective action to adjust the NL bias of the training questions or the user question.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gandhi Sivakumar, Naeem Altaf, Wesley M Devine, Rizwan Dudekula

Publication number: 20240259100Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for implementing enhanced geo-restricted data management in satellite constellation datacenters. A disclosed system and methods implement a satellite constellation datacenter of multiple LEO satellites that enables real-time satellite communications using lasers and secure data storage in the satellite constellation datacenter to protect critical data from unauthorized access and supports secure data transfer between the LEO satellites using laser based data transfer. To enable secure storage of geo-location restricted data in a LEO satellite, the LEO satellite constellation datacenter defines a geo-location cone and requires that the geo-location restricted data be stored within the geo-location cone. LEO satellites within the defined geo-location cone store the geo-location restricted data and securely transfer the geo-location restricted data from one satellite to another satellite within the defined geo-location cone.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2023Publication date: August 1, 2024Inventors: Sarbajit K.

Patent number: 7475286Abstract: A system and method for correlating end user error reports with software developer defect logs to thereby update the end user error reports with information from the developer defect logs. With the system and method, when support personnel open an end user error report to address the problem encountered by the user, the mechanisms of the system and method search a defect report database to determine if there is any defect report related to the same error that is the subject of the opened end user error report. If so, the end user error report is updated to include information from the defect report. This information may include, for example, the identity of the source of the problem generating the error, the identity of the fix or patch that solves the problem generating the error encountered by the end user, if any, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Naeem Altaf, David Bruce Kumhyr, Heath Christopher Newburn, James Daniel Wiggins
