  • Patent number: 12639628
    Abstract: Model training systems collaborate on model training without revealing respective private data sets. Each private data set learns a set of client weights for a set of computer models that are also learned during training. Inference for a particular private data set is determined as a mixture of the computer model parameters according to the client weights. During training, at each iteration, the client weights are updated in one step based on how well sampled models represent the private data set. In another step, gradients are determined for each sampled model and may be weighed according to the client weight for that model, relatively increasing the gradient contribution of a private data set for model parameters that correspond more highly to that private data set.

  • Publication number: 20260093783
    Abstract: Approaches that intend to reduce disparate impact, particularly those for providing equal coverage sets in conformal prediction, can in fact increase disparate impact for human-in-the-loop systems. To improve these systems, rather than optimizing selection processes for a class prediction set for a confidence level (e.g., a percentage confidence that the correct class is in the class prediction set), a selection process is determined that reduces the set size difference across groups.

  • Publication number: 20260087383
    Abstract: Meta-learning models are improved for few-shot learning of unseen tasks by improving task diversity of training data used for training the meta-learning model. A task diversity score may be determined between a pair of tasks that partition a domain into respective classes. The respective classes are paired and scored to determine similarity between class pairs and subsequent task diversity scores. Diverse tasks may be generated with unsupervised analysis of the domain by determining disentangled latent features of the data samples. Each latent feature may then be considered a task with classes based on a clustering of the data samples based on the feature values of the respective latent feature. The classes are then used as training task labels for the data samples and sampled from to generate diverse tasks for the meta-learning model.

  • Publication number: 20250371428
    Abstract: A computer model (e.g., an artificial intelligence model) having an encoder that generates embeddings may undesirably generate relatively large differences in embeddings for small changes in the input data sample. To improve robustness of the model against this type of change, training samples may be modified to generate adversarial examples that have comparatively large embedding differences relative to the change in training data sample. The adversarial data samples may be generated iteratively by exploring perturbations of the training data sample within a threshold to increase the distance in the embedding space. A robust encoder for the model may then be trained with the training data sample and adversarial data sample to reduce the distance between the corresponding training embedding and adversarial embedding.

  • Publication number: 20250335492
    Abstract: Systems and methods for retrieving relevant documents. A computing system obtains, from each document in a corpus of documents, a plurality of chunks corresponding to portions of text. It computes a score for each one of the plurality of chunks in relation to a query. The chunks are reordered according to score. A sum of the highest scores is computed, and a subset of chunks associated with the highest scoring documents are retrieved. A large language model (LLM) may be used to generate response text from the retrieved documents.

  • Publication number: 20240419978
    Abstract: A variety of generative models are trained that are trained on a reference data set. The generative models are evaluated by candidate metrics to determine the relative rankings of the models as evaluated by the different candidate metrics. Rankings as generated by the models is compared with human evaluation of the generated results as simulated and the candidate metrics that most align with the human evaluation may then be used to automatically evaluate subsequent generative models. The candidate metrics may include various types of encoding models trained for non-generative purposes, such that the selected candidate metric may represent selecting an encoding model that performs well on the generative data.
