  • Patent number: 11455391
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for a data leakage and misuse detection system comprises receiving an evaluation dataset A, and building a signature of the evaluation dataset A (sig(A)), where A signature of a dataset is a multi-level evaluation data abstraction representation of the dataset. The method further comprises building a signature for each of existing datasets B (B1, B2, . . . , Bn) (sig(Bx)) that are stored in a memory. The method then compares the sig(A) with each of the sig(Bx)s. A similarity score is derived based on the comparing, and responsive to determining the similarity score exceeds a predefined threshold, the method comprises generating an activity related to the determination.

  • Publication number: 20220270598
    Abstract: A baseline of behavior is determined for a population of users that interact with an autonomous agent that is configured to respond to natural language prompts of users of the population using respective user profiles for each user. An element associated with a first user that deviates more than a threshold amount from the baseline is identified. In response to the element deviating more than the threshold amount, the autonomous agent is caused to engage the first user unprompted regarding the element via an engagement that is configured to verify an association between the first user and the element. A response from the first user regarding the engagement is determined to verify the association between the first user and the element. A first user profile that corresponds to the first user is updated in response to determining that the first user response verifies the association.

  • Patent number: 11423094
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing a potential problem associated with information in a document. In an embodiment, a document for analysis may be received, the document being part of a corpus of one or more documents stored in an electronic format. The document may be analyzed to identify reference(s) in the document, wherein the reference(s) are each selected from the group comprising a natural language statement, a reference in a first part of the document to a second part of the document, or a reference to or from another document. Based on the reference(s), a knowledge graph may be generated to represent information in the document. A risk assessment of a reference in the document may be determined using the knowledge graph. A visual indicator may be applied to the document that emphasizes a potential problem with the reference based on the risk assessment.

  • Publication number: 20220253787
    Abstract: An embodiment trains a machine-learning model using a first training corpus of general items indicative of varying levels of confidence. The embodiment also prepares a second training corpus that includes domain-specific items indicative of varying levels of confidence extracted from communications from members of a project group associated with a project. The embodiment retrains the machine-learning model using the second training corpus and generates a confidence score for the project based on confidence values assigned by the machine-learning model to each of a plurality of project-related communication items from members of the project group. The embodiment also detects that the confidence score is below a predetermined threshold confidence level and, in response, initiates a communication to members of the project group conveying information regarding an automated remedial action for the project.

  • Patent number: 11410110
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for alert generation based on a cognitive state and a physical state. Wearables data, text communications, voice communications, and images of a caregiver providing care to a patient are obtained. The wearables data, the text communications, the voice communications, and the images are analyzed to identify a cognitive state and a physical state of the caregiver. The cognitive state and the physical state are compared to one or more care rules associated with tasks of the caregiver for the patient. In response to the comparison indicating any one of the cognitive state and the physical state prevent the caregiver from executing the tasks, an alert is generated. One or more recommendations for resolving the alert based on one or more recommendation rules are generated.
