  • Publication number: 20230334241
    Abstract: Learning and correcting errors in text input fields to an artificial intelligence (AI) system includes receiving, by the AI system from a target system, an input text. The AI system executes a text processing operation on the input text by applying at least one transformer from a library of transformers to the input text to generate transformed text. At least one proposed correction to the input text is output by the AI system based on an analysis of the transformed text. Feedback data, associated with the at least one proposed correction, is then received from a user of the target system to iteratively learn, by the AI system, which of the transformers need be applied on future input text to accurately generate future proposed corrections on the future input text.

  • Publication number: 20230332914
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for spatial audio navigation that may, for example, be implemented by mobile multipurpose devices. A spatial audio navigation system provides navigational information in audio form to direct users to target locations. The system uses directionality of audio played through a binaural audio device to provide navigational cues to the user. A current location, target location, and map information may be input to pathfinding algorithms to determine a real world path between the user’s current location and the target location. The system may then use directional audio played through a headset to guide the user on the path from the current location to the target location. The system may implement one or more of several different spatial audio navigation methods to direct a user when following a path using spatial audio-based cues.

  • Patent number: 11775661
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for limiting device functionality based on data detection and processing. A user computing device may include sensitive or confidential data and/or processes that utilize such data that a malicious party may wish to abuse, such as an electronic transaction processing application that uses financial data of a user. The device may therefore be compromised by the malicious party if the device becomes accessible to that party. The device may utilize one or more processes to detect device data determine data proximate to the device and/or contextual data in order to determine whether limitations on application processes are required based on the potential nearby risk. If the nearby risk indicates the device application processes may be in danger, the device may impose limitations on the processes and/or wipe data. The device may also alert other devices or nearby users.

  • Publication number: 20230300123
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to a delayed presentation of authentication challenge for users, such as in the context of a chat session. In various embodiments, a server system receives an indication of a request for service initiated by a user in a chat session within an application executed by a client device. The request for service involves an authentication of the user that is dependent on the authentication being successfully completed within a particular time period after the authentication is initiated. The server system delays the initiation of authentication for the request for service until a readiness condition is satisfied. The readiness condition includes the server system being available to process the request for service, as well as subsequently detecting engagement with the user relating to the request for service. In response to the readiness condition being satisfied, the server system initiates the authentication of the user.

  • Publication number: 20230292120
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, devices, and the like for user authentication. In one embodiment, the user authentication occurs using a multi-provider platform. The multi-provider platform enables the use and retrieval of user information from the given provider for the use and assessment of information associated with the user. User information may also be received over a web link communicated at least in part by a risk checkpoint component to a user device, wherein the user information received and that retrieved may be jointly used for determining user authentication.

  • Publication number: 20230289573
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for assessing fairness of a deep generative model. A computer system receives a user defined fairness criterion for the deep generative model. A computer system probes the deep generative model to produce samples for a target output. A computer system evaluates the samples for the fairness of the deep generative model, according to the user defined fairness criterion. A computer system produces a set of recommendations for modifying the deep generative model to meet the user defined fairness criterion, in response to determining that the deep generative model does not meet the user defined fairness criterion. In response to determining that the deep generative model is to be modified, a computer system applies at least one subset of the recommendations to the deep generative model. A computer system updates the deep generative model.

  • Patent number: 11755392
    Abstract: Systems and methods for smart cloud caching using edge computing and real-time customer journey insights are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system identifies a trend in communications received by a first edge cloud server, wherein each communication corresponds to a customer journey comprising user action steps performed in a client application. The system determines which user action steps cause API invocations to non-edge cloud servers and generates a sequence of API invocations in an order associated with the sequence of user action steps of the customer journey. The sequence of API invocations may be chained and/or bundled and stored in a cache for replication at edge cloud servers. The system may determine that the trend is pervasive in a geographical location based on satisfaction of a criteria, and replicate the cached sequence of API invocations at a cache of a second edge cloud server that services the geographical location.

  • Patent number: 11757825
    Abstract: A mid-tier messaging system receives a request to initiate a communication session via a first messaging channel that includes a first messaging interface of a first messaging application provided at a user device and a first message provider of a plurality of message providers. The mid-tier messaging system establishes a first session that is mapped to the communication session. The mid-tier messaging system establishes the communication, using the first session, between the first messaging interface and the first message provider. The mid-tier messaging system provides, through the first session, first message communications between the first message provider and the first messaging interface. The mid-tier messaging system seamlessly switches to a second message provider service when the first message provider service cannot service an intent of the first communication session.
