Patent number: 10783052Abstract: Systems for dynamically controlling data transmissions are provided. In some examples, a system may receive data from one or more computer systems. Data associated with an event may be extracted and the extracted data may be compared to one or more machine learning datasets to determine a likelihood that an issue associated with a computer system may occur. The system may determine whether the likelihood is greater than a predetermined threshold. If so, a modification to avoid the potential issue or mitigate an impact may be identified. The modification may be transmitted to and executed by the computer system to modify one or more aspects of the computer system. In some examples, one or more efficiency modifications may be identified based on the comparison of the extracted data to the machine learning datasets. The identified efficiency modification may be transmitted to and executed by the computer system to modify one or more aspects of the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2017Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Manu Kurian, Floyd F. Rock, Jr., Saritha Prasad Vrittamani, Patrick Nicholas Lawrence, Paul Grayson Roscoe

Patent number: 10776586Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David Bacarella, James H. Barnebee, IV, Nicholas Lawrence, Sumit Patel

Publication number: 20200187779Abstract: A method for authenticating to a network comprising a plurality of Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices is provided. The method may include using a mobile telephone apparatus, a wrist-worn apparatus and a head-worn apparatus to monitor the level of at least one of a wearer's pulse, body temperature, voice, gait and/or other biorhythmic indicator. One of the aforementioned apparatus may operate as a hub apparatus. The method may further include using the hub apparatus to assign a federated biometric marker based at least in part on the first, second and third biometric markers. The method may also include using artificial intelligence to monitor for one or more outliers with respect to historical monitoring. Each of the one or more outliers may include a magnitude that exceeds a security threshold difference between the current magnitude and the historically monitored magnitude.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2020Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Patrick Nicholas Lawrence, Jesse Strickland Newsom, III, Victoria Lynn Dravneek, John Christopher Checco, Hitesh J.

Patent number: 10599780Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David Bacarella, James H.

Publication number: 20200090128Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2018Publication date: March 19, 2020Inventors: Corey Daniel Leamon, Lucinda Kathryn Foss, Robert Robles Wallace, Thomas Gerald O'Neill, Nicholas Lawrence
