  • Publication number: 20230175851
    Abstract: Data-analysis-based processing is provided to detect that a potential traffic event identified by a navigation system for a travel route is FALSE. The processing obtains movement data from multiple devices associated with one or more vehicles passing along the travel route in the vicinity of the potential traffic event, where the multiple devices are multiple electronic devices with Global Positioning System (GPS) capability, and obtains, based on the movement data, relative movement data between devices of the multiple devices associated with the one or more vehicles. Based at least in part on the relative movement data between devices of the multiple devices, the processing ascertains that the detected potential traffic event is FALSE, and initiates an action based on determining that the detected potential travel event is a FALSE traffic event.

  • Publication number: 20230178231
    Abstract: Detecting spatial positioning between a user's hands and an object, using a wearable device, to provide feedback to a user. Motion data of a person's body motion while performing an action can be received at a computer. The motion data can include sensor data from sensors at a location where the sensors detect the person's body motion. The sensors can include a wearable device on the person's body. The computer can be used to model the person's body motion using the motion data. A set of parameters for acceptable motions is determined based on an action risk assessment of the action. Feedback can be initiated to the person, using the wearable device, based on the person's body motion exceeding a body motion threshold based on the set of parameters for the acceptable motions and the model.

  • 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.
