  • Patent number: 12333217
    Abstract: As disclosed herein, a computer-implemented method for refining a description of a desired digital asset through interactive conversational exchange is provided. The computer-implemented method may include receiving, via a conversational user interface (UI), a first input from a user including a description of a desired digital asset. The computer-implemented method may include prompting the user to provide a second input including additional details about the desired digital asset. The computer-implemented method may include generating, based on the second input, a first refined description of the desired digital asset. The computer-implemented method may include providing the first refined description to a machine learning (ML) model to generate the desired digital asset. A system and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050173220
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for authenticating a document. The method includes the steps of measuring a plurality of metrics of a suspect document and arranging the metrics into a plurality of data profiles. The method further includes the steps of comparing the plurality of data profiles with a set of envelopes of a library document and determining that the document is authentic when the plurality of profiles conforms with the plurality of envelopes.

  • Publication number: 20020128895
    Abstract: A method for optimizing the Information Technology (IT) resources in a project, such as outsourcing services. These resources are IT sites comprising skilled people groups, and computer equipment spread over a geographic area. The main steps of the method are determining the number of IT sites, determining the skilled people groups and the computer equipment required inside the geographic area, centralizing or distributing the people and equipment over the IT sites inside the geographic area, and consolidating the IT sites. An additional step of standardizing processes and methods may be performed before the consolidation step. The use of a data base and a graphic user interface allows inclusion of feedback loops to improve the standardization step.
