  • Publication number: 20240265263
    Abstract: A method is described for iteratively training a policy model, such as a neural network, of a computer-implemented action selection system to control an agent interacting with an environment to perform a task subject to one or more constraints. The task has a reward associated with performance of the task. Each constraint limits to a corresponding threshold the expected value of the total of a corresponding constraint function which if the future actions of the agent are chosen according to the policy model, and each constraint is associated with a corresponding multiplier variable. In each iteration, a mixed reward function is generated based on values for the multiplier variables generated in the preceding iteration, and estimates of the rewards and the values of constraint reward functions if the actions are chosen based on the policy model generated in the preceding iteration.

  • Patent number: 11868861
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a server computer, data of a communication device; training, by the server computer, a neural network model based on the data of the communication device and communication device metadata from one or more additional communication devices, to generate a machine learning model configured to determine, based on a metadata associated with an application, a security value related to an indication of a security threat; and transmitting the machine learning model to the communication device. The communication device can use the machine learning model to determine the security value, by inputting the metadata associated with the application, as a vectorized data into the machine learning model. The communication device can determine whether to run or install the application based upon the security value.

  • Publication number: 20230237502
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method for determining an interview script in a claims submission. The method may comprising receiving data relating to a claim being submitted, which may include claims submission data input by a user, information relating to the user, and one or more features. Data associated with the one or more features may be determined from an artificial intelligence model. A first score based on the data associated with the one or more features and data associated with the information relating to the user may be determined and used to determine an interview script. In one embodiment, questions in the interview script may continue to be provided to the interviewer computer if a continually updated score remains above a predetermined threshold. In another embodiment, the user may be routed to a live interview with a human representative if a continually updated score drops below a predetermined threshold.
