  • Publication number: 20260203084
    Abstract: An information handling system may include a processor and a workflow observer comprising a program of instructions embodied in non-transitory computer-readable media communicatively coupled to the processor. The workflow observer may be configured to, when read and executed by the processor, monitor interactions by a user with the information handling system, create periodic snapshots of the interactions, based on the periodic snapshots, generate a representation of a user workflow on the information handling system, calculate a semantic similarity between the user workflow and a feature, and if the semantic similarity exceeds a threshold, recommend the feature to a user of the information handling system.

  • Publication number: 20260195177
    Abstract: An information handling system may include a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, and configured to model an artificial intelligence model as a graph, select a cost function for assigning a cost value for each edge of the graph, and select a demand function for assigning a demand value between each pair of nodes of the graph. The processor may also be configured to, for each cut of a plurality of possible cuts to the graph, calculate a sparsity of each cut based on the cost value and the demand value corresponding to such cut, determine a sparsest cut of the plurality of cuts as a cut having a smallest sparsity among the sparsities of the plurality of possible cuts, and split the artificial intelligence model into a plurality of fragments based on the sparsest cut.

  • Patent number: 12496528
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables game play or other application sessions to consumption devices of a user's choice as a reward upon completion of tasks assigned to the user. A method may include monitoring, by an information handing system, a task assigned to be completed by a user; determining, by the information handling system, completion of the task by the user based, at least in part, on a physical location tracking of the user, wherein the physical location tracking of the user comprises: monitoring, by the information handling system, a controller; and comparing, by the information handling system, monitored controller movements to a known map stored on the information handling system; and granting, by the information handling system, a reward to the user. Other aspects are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12469496
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables hybrid local and global processing of voice requests from a user. A computing device may receive audio data containing a voice request from a user and may determine, using a local intent engine, a local intent prediction based on the voice request. The computing device may determine that the local intent prediction has a confidence measure that is less than a predetermined threshold and may, in response, transmit data containing the voice request to a global intent engine. The computing device may receive a global intent prediction from the global intent engine and may determine a corresponding computing process based on the global intent prediction.
