Patent number: 11711860Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a computer program product for device pairing by cognitive computing. A cognitive computing system creates a knowledge corpus about the historical activities of pairing devices of a user. The cognitive computing system predicts needs of device pairing of the user, based on analysis of the historical activities. The cognitive computing system identifies devices that can be paired in a surrounding area. An augmented reality device tracks an eye direction of the user at a device, extrapolates the eye direction to create an eye focus direction of the user, obtains from the cognitive computing system an eye focus line with an arrow pointing to the device, and creates an augmented reality overlay which shows the eye focus line. The augmented reality device pairs a user currently used device and the device, upon user approval.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: KYNDRYL, INC.Inventors: Todd Russell Whitman, Mauro Marzorati, Jeremy R.

Patent number: 11665373Abstract: A live event virtual experience is provided. Emotions of virtual spectators to a current situation occurring in a live event at a physical venue are determined from received data regarding reactions of the virtual spectators to the live event using bias detection. A historical sound clip that matches the emotions of the virtual spectators to the current situation occurring in the live event is retrieved. The historical sound clip that matches the emotions of the virtual spectators to the current situation occurring in the live event is input into a machine learning model that performs inverse bias mitigation to amplify bias and applies in-process adversarial fairness debiasing. The historical sound clip after performing the inverse bias mitigation to amplify the bias and applying the in-process adversarial fairness debiasing is converted to a standardized historical sound segment length. A sound representation is generated from the standardized historical sound segment length.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ugo Ivan Orellana Gonzalez, Aaron K.
