  • Publication number: 20250077857
    Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented, machine learning method for generating safe text. A first portion of a trainable prompt is generated using negative influential features and positive influential features of a predicted condition. A second portion of the trainable prompt is trained to steer a pre-trained large language model (PLLM) to generate the safe text using at least the first portion of the trainable prompt. The method has applications including, but not limited to, use cases in medicine (e.g., digital medicine, personalized healthcare, AI-assisted drug or vaccine development, diagnosis or treatment, disease prediction, etc.), and cyber security.

  • Publication number: 20250079002
    Abstract: A computer-implemented, machine learning method for cross-cohort predictions from medical data. Patients of one or more source cohorts are mapped to a feature space of a target cohort based on constraints. Patient distributions of the one or more source cohorts and the target cohort are learned. The patient distributions of the one or more source cohorts are corrected for the target cohort. The method has applications including, but not limited to medical AI, drug development, medical diagnostics/applications and in healthcare, for example, to optimize predictions or support decision making.

  • Publication number: 20250053776
    Abstract: A computer-implemented, machine learning method for incorporating a new entity in a knowledge graph for optimizing or improving a target property includes detecting counterfactual causes in a causality graph that are to be modified to achieve the target property. The causality graph is connected to the knowledge graph by links representing semantic relations. The new entity is generated in the knowledge graph by embedding the new entity in a latent space of the knowledge graph relative to existing entities. A change of causes in the causality graph resulting from generating the new entity in the knowledge graph is simulated. The method can be applied, for example, to use cases in medical/healthcare, smart cities or smart agriculture, for example, to support decision making using Artificial Intelligence (AI).

  • Patent number: 12106202
    Abstract: A machine-learning method to optimize resource allocation extracts human-interpretable (e.g., doctor-interpretable) entity profiles from a text-labeled data graph of a system having a plurality of entities. The data graph is associated with a smart hospital and includes nodes representing the entities and edges between the nodes representing links between the entities. The method includes: obtaining the data graph and extracting the human-interpretable entity profiles from a tensor that has been learned, using a neural network, to capture patterns among text associated with the edges between respective pairs of the nodes. The neural network layers of the neural network are constructed such that the edges are modeled as a function of the associated text and cluster representations of the respective pairs of the nodes.

  • Publication number: 20240169189
    Abstract: A method for generating a self-explaining decision in an artificial intelligence (AI) system includes receiving or defining a graph for a task in the AI system, the graph including a plurality of nodes connected by edges. Message passing is performed among the nodes of the graph, wherein a discrete attention mechanism is implemented during the message passing, whereby features of each node are transformed into a discrete representation, which varies depending on which neighboring node a message is passed to. The self-explaining decision is generated for one of the nodes based on the message passing.

  • Publication number: 20240121017
    Abstract: A method for determining causes of network slice performance degradation in an open radio access network (O-RAN), the O-RAN being under Central Unit-Distributed Unit (CU-DU) functional split. In a setup phase, telemetries that contain multivariate observations of DUs are obtained, telemetry data is aggregated, high order features from correlations between multivariate observations across the DUs is extracted for a specific time slot, and a k-time slots ahead performance model is learned. In a detection phase, the performance model forecasts the network slice performance upon receiving new telemetries. If a performance degradation is forecasted, a set of performance models is sampled and impact scores based on gradients of telemetries are computed. The high order features using the sampled performance prediction models are extracted.

  • Patent number: 11875754
    Abstract: Provided are a display panel, a method for driving a display panel, and a display device. The display panel includes first pixels. The first pixel includes first and second light-emitting elements, and first and second pixel circuits respectively electrically connected to first electrodes of the first and second light-emitting elements. First electrodes of the first and second light-emitting element are independent from each other. Second electrodes of the first and second light-emitting elements are electrically connected to each other. Light-emitting material layers of the first and second light-emitting elements are formed into one piece. When the display panel displays at least one frame of an image, data voltages received by the first pixel circuit and the second pixel circuit in a same first pixel are different from each other. Thus, an influence of hysteresis effect on brightness of the first pixel is reduced to improve the display effect.
