Patent number: 11513520Abstract: A method for training control software to reinforce safety constraints using visual inputs includes performing template matching for each object in an image of a reinforcement learning (RL) agent's action space using a visual template for each object wherein each object in the RL agent's action space is detected, mapping each detected object to a set of planar coordinates for each object in the RL agent's action space, determining a set of safe actions for the RL agent by applying a safety specification for the RL agent's action space to the set of variables for coordinates for each object in the RL agent's action space, outputting the set of safe actions to the RL agent for a current state of a RL procedure, and preventing the RL agent from executing an action that is unsafe, before the RL agent takes an action.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Subhro Das, Nathan Fulton, Nathan Hunt, Trong Nghia Hoang

Publication number: 20220261630Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a reinforcement learning model configured to receive state data (e.g., image state data) and determine candidate actions (e.g., environment navigation actions, environment modification actions, etc.) based on the received state data. Embodiments of the disclosure further provide an object detector configured to generate symbolic state data (e.g., safety relevant data) from the state data. Accordingly, as described herein, a safety system can update a dynamical safety constraint based on the symbolic state data, as well as filter the actions determined by the reinforcement learning model and select an action to be executed based on the dynamical safety constraint. For instance, the safety system classifies each action (e.g., each candidate action determined by the reinforcement learning model) in each symbolic state as either “safe” or “not safe” based on the dynamical safety constraint (e.g., and a safe action may be selected and executed).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2021Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Nathaniel Ryan Fulton, Subhro Das, Nathan Hunt, Trong Nghia Hoang

Patent number: 9847990Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining applications that are co-installed on a device. In an aspect, a system includes a registration component that receives, from a device, a request to register a first application provided on the device with a notification service, the request comprising an account identifier associated with a user identity, a session token, and an identifier for the first application. The session token is derived from an authentication token that is unique to the user identity and the device. The system further includes an authentication component configured to authenticate the user identity using the session token, and a fingerprint component configured to receive a fingerprint of the authentication token based on authentication of the user identity using the session token, wherein the registration component is configured to associate the account identifier, the identifier for the first application, and the fingerprint with one another in a database.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Benoît de Boursetty, Nathan Hunt
