A combined value of parameters associated with nodes in each base path is updated. A parameter associated with a node is used to adjust an input obtained from a node of a previous layer. Values of parameters associated with nodes in the base paths are updated based on updated combined values of parameters. Through this solution, optimization efficiency can be improved and more accurate optimized values of parameters are achieved.

A second structured dataset is assessed with respect to the identified features in the first dataset, and new features in the second dataset are identified, where the new features are semantically related to the identified features in the first dataset. The first dataset is dynamically augmented with the identified new features in the second dataset. The dynamically augmented first dataset is applied to the selected ML model to subject an embedded learning algorithm of the selected ML model to training using the augmented first dataset.

  • Patent number: 11599827
    Abstract: A method for operating a detector that is set up to check whether a data signal that is supplied to a machine learning system has been manipulated. The machine learning system is first trained in adversarial fashion using a manipulated data signal, the manipulated data signal having been ascertained by manipulation of a training data signal, and the machine learning system being trained to provide in each case the same output signal when the training data signal or the manipulated data signal is supplied to it. The detector is trained using another manipulated data signal that is produced as a function of the trained machine learning system.

    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for configuring and offering upgrade capability to information handling systems. A deep learning or machine learning model (DL/ML) model is trained to optimize a particular configuration and use cases for an information handling system and provides various levels of upgrades for the use cases. Levels are identified as base or upgrade and mapped to a licensing layer that enables or disables use of performance levels based on weights that enable base output level classes and disable upgrade output level classes. An offer to upgrade is made as to upgrade levels upon a determination of probabilities of performance output level classes.

  • Patent number: 11599835
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for processing behavioral assessments. One embodiment includes a computing device that stores logic that causes the system to receive data from a first behavioral assessment, the first behavioral assessment assessing a first behavioral characteristic of a first person, receive data from a second behavioral assessment, the second behavioral assessment assessing a second behavioral characteristic of the first person, and utilize the first behavioral characteristic from the first behavioral assessment and the second behavioral characteristic from the second behavioral assessment to calculate a behavioral parameter for the first person. In some embodiments, the logic causes the system to compare the behavioral parameter against a corresponding behavioral parameter for a second person to determine how the first person and the second person would work together and provide data about how the first person and the second person would work together.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for limiting autonomous vehicle requests are provided. The method includes obtaining data indicative of a request for access to a software service for facilitating one or more transportation services. The method can include granting access to the software service based on a rate limit associated with the request and a request history. The rate limit can be associated with any combination of a vehicle provider determined based on the request, the software service for which access is requested, or current data. The rate limit can define a threshold number of requests over a period of time. The method can include determining the routing action for the request based on the rate limit and a request history associated the vehicle provider, the software service, or current data.
