  • Patent number: 11663480
    Abstract: An autonomic function executing in an artificial intelligence environment determines that a fused model responsive to a new problem space has below a threshold level of accuracy in the new problem space. A spliced layer in the fused model is autonomically cloned, the spliced layer having been extracted from a second model and inserted at a location in the fused model. The cloned layer is autonomically inserted at a second location in the fused model. An automatically constructed vector transformation transforms an output vector of a previous layer in an immediately previous location in the model relative to the second location. The cloned layer is automatically fused in the fused model using the transformed output vector as input to the cloned layer, forming a deep fused model that has a revised accuracy that is higher than the accuracy relative to an ontology of the new problem space.

  • Patent number: 11665278
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for filtering a phone call are provided. An incoming phone call to a phone is detected. Call metadata from the incoming phone call is received. The call metadata is compared to entries of a learned relationship filter. The entries of the learned relationship filter are obtained by monitoring behavior of a phone user on the phone during previous calls to the phone and application usage on the phone so that learned relationships to the phone user are identified and saved. The learned relationship filter provides a filtering response. The filtering response is performed to the incoming phone call.

  • Patent number: 11657607
    Abstract: Non-intrusive image identification includes acquiring an image and connectivity data at a network-connected computing node via a data communications network. The image is captured by an image-capturing device remotely located from the computing node. The connectivity data is associated with one or more devices located within a predetermined vicinity of the image-capturing device. Connectivity data can be correlated with electronically stored networking data associated with the one or more devices to determine an identity of one or more device users. The correlating includes electronically searching one or more network-connected sources of networking data and, based on the connectivity data, matching the one or more devices to the one or more device users. Image-tagging data corresponding to one or more selected individual device users is generated, and the image is tagged with the image-tagging data for identifying one or more individuals appearing in the image.

  • Publication number: 20230144585
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programming products for versioning machine learning models. Changes between new and existing datasets are detected, quantified and compared using statistical and semantic feature comparisons. Recommendations for versioning existing models are in response to detecting changes between the feature importance of datasets used in the application of the machine learning model and new datasets that introduce new features or features that evolve over time in such a manner that feature importance has shifted away from one or more features of the first dataset to the new dataset. Based on the changes in feature importance, statistical changes and semantic feature comparisons, the recommendations provided describe whether models should be updated with a re-trained model, or that the existing features of the model do not indicate a need for re-training.
