  • Patent number: 11966854
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes building a knowledge graph of resource vendors. The method further includes identifying resources that are in relatively short supply in a host system, and determining, using a matching algorithm, a first of the resource vendors in the knowledge graph from which to temporarily lease the identified resources to the host system. The first resource vendor includes the identified resources and satisfies policy prerequisites of the host system. A lease is caused to be issued, from the first resource vendor to the host system, for the identified resources. A computer program product according to another embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

  • Patent number: 11868420
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for faceted search queries through interactive graphical objects. A text search query corresponding to a faceted search is received from a user, which is then parsed for keywords. Attributes associated with the keywords are then extracted and used to generate a graphical representation corresponding to the results associated with the text search query. Further user input to refine the query is provided through manipulation of the graphical representation by the user (such as dragging a leg of a table to change the length of legs on a table) corresponding to modification of one or more facets of the faceted search, narrowing the available search results corresponding to the faceted search.

  • Patent number: 11830011
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable dynamically determining a validity of a return. More specifically, a system obtains a return request from a customer, a transaction history of the customer, and a set of return policy rules. A generative adversarial network (GAN) trained to detect non-genuine returns is applied to the return request. The GAN uses, among other this, the transaction history of the customer and the set of return policy rules as parameters of the GAN. Based on an output of the GAN, at least one return processing action is recommended and implemented.

  • Publication number: 20230306288
    Abstract: A first input transaction is classified into a first input space cluster in a set of input space clusters. It is determined that the first input space cluster maps to a single explainability space cluster in a set of explainability space clusters. Using an interpretable model corresponding to the single explainability space cluster, a first machine learning model prediction is explained, the first machine learning model prediction resulting from processing, by a machine learning model, the first input transaction.

    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for context-based machine learning model generation are provided. The method collects ground data for a set of machine learning model deployments associated with a set of problems. A knowledge graph is generated for the set of machine learning models based on the ground data. An initial set of hyperparameters are determined for a new problem based on the knowledge graph. A modified set of hyperparameters are generated for the new problem based on the initial set of hyperparameters. The method generates a machine learning model for the new problem based on the modified set of hyperparameters.

  • Patent number: 11488240
    Abstract: In an approach for initiating a chatbot session responsive to determining a product image and product description discrepancy, a processor, responsive to a user browsing a product listing for a product on an ecommerce website, processes a product description of the product listing using natural language processing (NLP) to generate a list of actor-subject negations from the product description. A processor processes a set of product images of the product listing to generate a list of entities from the set of product images. A processor correlates the list of actor-subject negations from the product description and the list of entities from the set of product images. A processor identifies at least one discrepancy between at least one actor-subject negation and at least one entity. A processor initiates, while the user is still browsing the product listing, a chat session with a chatbot of the ecommerce website.

  • Publication number: 20220335302
    Abstract: An embodiment includes parsing an input dataset associated with a first node of a decision tree, where the input dataset includes a set of profile values for a set of projected usage parameters for a computing environment. The embodiment identifies a structure of the dataset using a recursive neural network that predicts a question sequence in a hierarchical tree format. The embodiment calculates a first deviation from the predicted question sequence and determines whether the deviation exceeds a threshold value. The embodiment generates a modified input dataset using a disambiguation rule and calculates a second deviation of the modified structure from the predicted question sequence and determines whether the deviation exceeds the threshold value. The embodiment assembles a customized hierarchical path using a generative model and assembles the customized hierarchical path by performing iterations of generating a series of candidate questions until a leaf node is reached.

  • Patent number: 11429996
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for improving likelihood of user to purchase a product or service. Interactions of a person, not necessarily the user, are monitored related to the product or service, along with actions by a business related to the person and the product or service. A trained Generative Adversarial Network model is applied to the monitored interactions to form recommend actions that the business should take to achieve ameliorative actions by the user. A reward feedback iterative adjustment of the GAN model is used to facilitate purchase of the product or service by the user.

  • Publication number: 20220188852
    Abstract: In an approach for determining an optimal price for a product via a sub-component analysis, a processor determines a similarity weightage for each similar product to a product based on specifications and ratings for each similar product. A processor determines a price for each subcomponent of the product based on a base price of the respective subcomponent, a cost for work required to integrate the respective subcomponent into the product, and intellectual property and licensing costs associated with the respective subcomponent. A processor calculates a price prediction for the product by summing up the price for each subcomponent. A processor determines an optimized price prediction for the product based on integrating the similarity weightage for each similar product with the price prediction for the product in an ensemble model.
