  • Patent number: 11681737
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a retrieval method including: generating a graph representing a set of users, items, and queries; generating clusters from the media items; generating embeddings for each cluster from embeddings of the items within the corresponding cluster; generating augmented query embeddings for each cluster from the embedding of the corresponding cluster and query embeddings of the queries; inputting the cluster embeddings and the augmented query embeddings to a layer of a graph convolutional network (GCN) to determine user embeddings of the users; inputting the embedding of the given user and a query embedding of the given query to a layer of the GCN to determine a user-specific query embedding; generating a score for each of the items based on the item embeddings and the user-specific query embedding; and presenting the items having the score exceeding a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11507878
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the generation of adversarial training data through sequence perturbation, for a deep learning network to perform event sequence analysis. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes applying a long short-term memory attention model to an input data sequence to generate discriminative sequence periods and attention weights associated with the discriminative sequence periods. The attention weights are generated to indicate the relative importance of data in those discriminative sequence periods. The method further includes generating perturbed data sequences based on the discriminative sequence periods and the attention weights. The generation of the perturbed data sequences employs selective filtering or conservative adversarial training, to preserve perceptual similarity between the input data sequence and the perturbed data sequences.

  • Patent number: 11068737
    Abstract: A method of identifying land cover includes receiving multi-spectral values for a plurality of locations at a plurality of times. A location is selected and for each time in the plurality of times, a latent representation of the multi-spectral values is determined based on a latent representation of multi-spectral values determined for a previous time and multi-spectral values for the previous time of a plurality of other locations that are near the selected location. The determined latent representation is then used to predict a land cover for the selected location at the time.

  • Patent number: 11037022
    Abstract: A method includes receiving data for an entity for each of a plurality of time points. For each of a plurality of time windows that each comprises a respective plurality of time points, a confidence value is determined. The confidence value provides an indication of the degree to which the time window contains data that is useful in discriminating between classes. The confidence values are used to determine a probability of a class and the probability of the class is used to set a predicted class for the entity.
