  • Publication number: 20230229707
    Abstract: An embodiment includes analyzing a first digital image using a first trained neural network that classifies the first image as having a first context based on a plurality of characteristics of the first image. The embodiment generates a data structure that associates first and second elements depicted in the first image based on an affinity detected between the first and second elements in the first context. The embodiment executes a querying process that searches for information requested by a user, and detects that a search result from the querying process conveys a second context that is different from the first context. The embodiment identifies a third element in the data structure having an affinity with the first element in the second context. The embodiment renders a machine-generated image that is generated using a second trained neural network and depicts the first element and the third element in the second context.

  • Patent number: 11706077
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for contextual generation of an ephemeral network are provided. The method detects an initiating event for network generation associated with a user of a first computing device. The method determines a duration of the initiating event. A set of network members is determined based on the initiating event and the duration. The method establishes an ephemeral network, connecting at least a portion of computing devices associated with the set of network members. The ephemeral network is terminated in response to detecting a completion event. In response to terminating the ephemeral network, member information for the set of network members is removed from the portion of the computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20230222240
    Abstract: An embodiment includes receiving, at database connectivity (DBC) layer, a request to access data of a data source, wherein the data source is registered with a data catalog that includes data governance artifacts, and wherein the request is made via a connection that bypasses the data catalog. The embodiment also includes comparing, by a governance manager at the DBC layer, an access privilege level for a credential associated with the request to access requirements of requested data included in data protection rules of the governance artifacts. The embodiment also includes masking, by the governance manager, a portion of the data provided in response to the request, wherein the portion of the data has an access requirement that is not met by the access privilege level for the credential associated with the request.

  • Publication number: 20230214422
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for embedding contextual information in an image or video frames. A generative adversarial network (GAN) is trained to provide contextual information to be embedded in an image or video frames, where the contextual information includes text, sound and/or video frames that provides context to the image or video frames. After training the GAN, an image or video frames are received to be embedded with contextual information if necessary. Features are then extracted from the received image/video frames. An image(s) or video frame(s) are identified in a database using the GAN associated with features with a similarity to the extracted features of the received image/video frames that exceeds a threshold value. Such identified images and/or video frames are associated with “references” containing contextual information which are extracted. The received image/video frames are then augmented with the extracted references to provide context.

  • Publication number: 20230214580
    Abstract: By analyzing a natural language content concurrently with a presentation of the natural language content, a first language of the natural language content is detected. By analyzing the natural language content concurrently with the presentation of the natural language content, it is detected that a subset of the natural language content is expressed in a second language, wherein the second language is different from the first language, wherein a set of known languages comprises the first language, wherein the set of known languages excludes the second language. From the subset of the natural language content, a modified subset expressed in the first language is generated. The modified subset is inserted into the natural language content.

  • Publication number: 20230214411
    Abstract: From a set of natural language text documents, a concept tree is constructed. For a node in the concept tree a polarity of the subset represented by the node is scored. A second set of natural language text documents is added to the subset, the adding resulting in a modified subset of natural language text documents having a polarity score within a predefined neutral polarity score range. From the modified subset, a bin of sentences is selected according to a sentence selection parameter, a sentence in the bin of sentences being extracted from a selected document in the modified subset. A sentence having a factuality score below a threshold factuality score is removed from the bin of sentences. From the filtered bin of sentences a new natural language text document corresponding to the filtered bin of sentences is generated using a transformer deep learning narration generation model.

  • Patent number: 11685399
    Abstract: An approach for adjusting driving parameters of an AV (autonomous vehicle) based on the driving style of the passenger is disclosed. The approach utilizes existing driving patterns of the passenger and perform a dynamic comparison and correlation with safe driving patterns of the passengers themselves. Based on that evaluation, the approach would suggest the parameters for adjusting the AV driving style in order to ensure AV riding experience meets the expected level of safe and stress-less riding. Furthermore, the approach can dynamically adjust the driving style during the trip based on the reaction and feedback from the passenger.

  • Patent number: 11687633
    Abstract: Access authentication in an artificial intelligence system includes perceiving electronically with a first user's artificial intelligence voice response system (AIVRS) a physical presence of a second user. A voice request is generated by the first user's AIVRS and conveyed to a second user requesting access to a knowledge corpus stored by an AIVRS of the second user. Based on a voice response of the second user, the first user's AIVRS instantiates an electronic communications session with the second user's AIVRS. The session is initiated via an electronic communications connection with a portable device of the second user. Selected portions of the knowledge corpus are retrieved by the first user's AIVRS from the second user's AIVRS, the portions selected based on the voice response. An action by one or more IoT devices is initiated in response to a voice prompt interpreted by the first user's AIVRS based on the selected portions.

  • Publication number: 20230182024
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system to determine suspicious activity by users via in-game transactions is provided. A processor identifies a transaction involving a player character operated by a user within a game. A processor retrieves player data associated with the player character and item data associated with the items offered during the transaction involving the player character. A processor determines an optimal choice for the player character based on a comparison between the player data and the item data during the transaction. A processor, in response to the user selecting a suboptimal choice different from the optimal choice, adjusts at least one behavioral score of a profile associated with the user. A processor, in response to the at least one behavioral score being outside an expected range of the at least one behavioral score, restricts at least one aspect of an account associated with the player character.
