  • Patent number: 11900480
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for misinformative content mitigation. A computer receives from a social network system a request for curated content, where the curated content is related to misinformative content that has been identified by the social network system. The computer sends to a system of a paid curated content producer a request for making the curated content public. In response to that the system of the paid curated content producer accepts the request for making the curated content public, the computer provides to the social network system a link to the curated content on the system of the paid curated content producer. On the social network system, the misinformative content is flagged and the link to the curated content is presented aside the misinformative content.

  • Patent number: 11709764
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for generating test cases for testing software. Log files are analyzed for indications of software defects resulting in software errors. For those log files that were found to indicate software errors, such log files are analyzed to determine if they contain personal data that needs to be anonymized based on an entropy score of the personal data. When the entropy score of the personal data is below a threshold value, anonymized variations of the personal data are generated. Trace logs are then created containing the anonymized variations of the personal data, which are returned to a software tester to create a test case for testing software using the created trace logs without having access to personal data. In this manner, the software tester may reproduce the software errors without having access to the personal data.

  • Patent number: 11300708
    Abstract: The embodiments herein describe a forecasting system that uses captured images or a location to generate a weather forecast for that location. As used herein, a hyper-location is any location where images of that location are available to the forecasting system. For example, a hyper-location can be an airport where a security camera can provide historical images of the weather conditions at the airport. In one embodiment, the forecasting system can extract attributes from the images that indicate the historical weather conditions at the hyper-location. The forecasting system can then use those weather conditions to select which one of a plurality of historical scenarios best matches the weather conditions. The selected scenario can then be used to train a machine learning (ML) model that tunes a weather forecast for that location.
