Patent number: 12333379Abstract: To obtain meaningful computational results despite limits on the amount of data that can be input to a quantum computer, a data selection system uses an iterative approach to select a suitable subset of data to be input to a quantum device for processing by a quantum algorithm. The system compresses and clusters a data set according to a task-specific distribution criteria and selects a subset of this clustered data corresponding to representative cases of the data. The selected subset is processed by the quantum device and the system generates a metric score based on the degree to which the results satisfy a performance criterion. The selected subset is refined over multiple iterations based on successive metric scores until a termination criterion is reached, and the final selected subset of data is used as input to the quantum computer for execution of the processing task.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Frederik Frank Flöther, Michele Grossi, Vaibhaw Kumar, Robert E.

Patent number: 11928611Abstract: In an approach for conversational interchange optimization, a processor monitors conversations in a communication system. A processor generates a list of topics in the conversations. A processor determines a flow for each topic based on length of time, number of participants, and sentiment associated to each topic. The flow is the progress of interactions and shifts for each topic. A processor builds a statistical model for each topic based on the flow to predict success or failure of a topic progression for an incoming conversation. A processor updates the topic progression for the incoming conversation based on the predicted success or failure.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul R.
