  • Patent number: 10846485
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method are provided to automate a framework for knowledge graph based persistence of data, and to resolve temporal changes and uncertainties in the knowledge graph. Natural language understanding, together with one or more machine learning models (MLMs), is used to extract data from unstructured information, including entities and entity relationships. The extracted data is populated into a knowledge graph. As the KG is subject to change, the KG is used to create new and retrain existing machine learning models (MLMs). Weighting is applied to the populated data in the form of veracity value. Blockchain technology is applied to the populated data to ensure reliability of the data and to provide auditability to assess changes to the data.

  • Patent number: 10599780
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method are provided to automate a framework for knowledge graph based persistence of data, and to resolve temporal changes and uncertainties in the knowledge graph. Natural language understanding, together with one or more machine learning models (MLMs), is used to extract data and a data relationship from structured and/or unstructured data, create an entry in the KG and selectively store the extracted data and data relationship in the KG, assign a veracity value to the stored data, create an asset value entry in a corresponding BC ledger, and store a BC identifier with the KG entry.

  • Publication number: 20200090128
    Abstract: The present approach relates to independently tracking individual progress of campaign-related activities part of a campaign respectively associated with a plurality of individuals. Embodiments disclosed herein include marking as complete a campaign-related activity in response to completion of the campaign-related activity by a first set of individuals, marking as incomplete an outstanding campaign-related activity in response to determining that a second set of individuals has not engaged with or completed the outstanding campaign-related activity, and then assigning subsequent campaign-related content to the individual based on whether the campaign-related activity was completed or not. For example, the second set of individuals who have not completed the campaign-related activity may each be sent a reminder notification, such as an email reminder, while the first set of individuals who have completed the campaign-related activity may receive a subsequent campaign-related content for completion.
