  • Publication number: 20210350487
    Abstract: Computer vision and deep learning techniques are leveraged to detect behavior patterns in transaction histories. A transaction timeline is built for a series of transactions, e.g., financial, and a graphic image is constructed representing the transaction timeline. The graphic image is then matched to a known behavior pattern using a cognitive system. The cognitive system is trained with historical timeline images having associated labels. In one example the graphic image is a bar chart and each financial transaction is represented as a bar in the bar chart having a height proportional to a transaction amount, the bar being located along a time axis of the bar chart according to the transaction date and being color coded according to the transaction type.

  • Publication number: 20210293932
    Abstract: The technology employs a contrasting color scheme on different surfaces for sensor housing assemblies mounted on exterior parts of a vehicle that is configured to operate in an autonomous driving mode. Lighter and darker colors may be chosen on different surfaces according to a thermal budget for a given sensor housing assembly, due to the different types of sensors arranged along particular surfaces, or to provide color contrast for different regions of the assembly. For instance, differing colors such as black/white or blue/white, and different finishes such as matte or glossy, may be selected to enhance certain attributes or to minimize issues associated with a sensor housing assembly.

  • Patent number: 11080352
    Abstract: A local node for updating detection models while maintaining data privacy has an aggregation module, a retraining module, an instructions module, and a sharing module. The aggregation module aggregates the data into features that describe the contents of the data. The retraining module retrains the detection model using the features by implementing an algorithm that includes at least one selected feature and a threshold for triggering an activity alert. The instructions module determines instructions for calculating the at least one selected feature from a different collection of data. The sharing module generates a package having the instructions for calculating the at least one selected feature from the different collection of data and the threshold, and transmits the package to a local node for implementation of the retrained detection model with data stored at the local node.
