  • Patent number: 11928157
    Abstract: A constraint system enforces projection constraints on data values stored in specified columns of a shared dataset when queries are received by a database system. A projection constraint identifies that the data in a column may be restricted from being projected (e.g., presented, read, outputted) in an output to a received query, while allowing specified operations to be performed on the data and a corresponding output to be provided. For example, the projection constraint may indicate a context for a query that triggers the constraint, such as based on the user that submitted the query. Enforcing projection constraints on queries received at the database system allows for data to be shared and used anonymously by entities to perform various operations without the need to tokenize the data.

    Abstract: A wafer is prepared, and a thickness shape of the prepared wafer at each position in a radial direction is measured for each of a predetermined number of angles into which 360 degrees of a circumference around the center of the wafer are divided. The thickness shape obtained by a measuring machine for each angle is approximated with a sixth or higher order polynomial, and a function of the wafer thickness at the position in the radial direction is created. The thickness shape outputted by the measuring machine and a thickness shape outputted by the function are compared with each other, and an error on the entire surface of the wafer is confirmed to be not greater than a predetermined error. After the confirmation, information of the function for each angle is attached to the wafer as data representing the wafer shape and supplied to a user.

The first object model comprising object features of an imaged reference object. It is obtained sub-models that comprise different sub-features, respectively, of said object features comprised in the first object model. It is provided contribution indicators for the sub-models, respectively. Each contribution indicator indicating contribution of the sub-feature to incorrect matches.

  • Patent number: 11928185
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a GAN model is trained based on an image dataset. A set of images of a first class is generated by the GAN model. Further, a first saliency map of a first generated image is determined by a neural network model. A second saliency map of a second image, belonging to the first class, from image dataset is determined by the neural network model. A first interpretability coefficient is determined, based on the first and second saliency maps. A first typicality score between the first generated image and a first set of images, belonging to the first class, from the image dataset, is determined. A second typicality score between a pair of generated images is determined. A second interpretability coefficient is determined basis the first and second typicality scores. An interpretability score associated with the GAN model is determined based on the first and second interpretability coefficients.

  • Patent number: 11928186
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to improve an output of a trained machine learning (ML) computer model based on label co-occurrence statistics. For a corpus, label vector representations of the knowledge data structures are generated. Co-occurrence scores for each pairing of labels, across the label vector representations, are generated. A vector output of the ML computer model is received and a knowledge driven reasoning (KDR) computer model is configured with threshold(s) and delta value(s) specifying condition(s) of a co-occurrence of a first label in the output with a second label in the plurality of labels which, if present, causes the delta value(s) to be applied to modify a probability value associated with the second label in the output of the ML computer model. The KDR computer model is executed on the output of the ML computer model to modify probability value(s) in the output.

  • Patent number: 11928187
    Abstract: A system receives an audio-video recording that includes image frames. For each image frame, a portion of the image frame is identified that corresponds to a first face of a first subject. An image region is determined for the identified portion of the image frame. A first face portion of the audio-video recording is stored that corresponds to the determined image region for each of the image frames along with a private key for the audio-video recording and a first mask identifier for the first subject. A public key is generated for the private key. A remaining portion of the audio-video recording is associated with the generated public key and the first mask identifier for the first subject. The remaining portion, the public key, and the first mask identifier are provided to a media server that communicates with a media player.

  • Patent number: 11928188
    Abstract: A machine has a network interface circuit to provide connectivity to networked machines. A processor is connected to the network interface circuit. A memory is connected to the processor and the network interface circuit. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to record the purchase of a digital asset by a user at a client machine from a data source machine in network communication with the client machine. The location of the digital asset on one or more machines of the networked machines is archived. The location is separate from the data source machine. The digital asset is associated with a data access policy. A request for the digital asset is received. The data access policy is enforced through programmatic control utilized by one or more of the networked machines to form a consent state. Distribution of the digital asset to a networked machine is authorized in response to the consent state.

  • Patent number: 11928190
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for protecting commercial off-the-shelf software program code from piracy. A software program may include an executable file having code and data. A platform may modify the executable file such that the data may be placed at a location in memory that is an arbitrary distance from the code. The platform may modify the executable file to include a separation header. The separation header may indicate that the data can be placed at an arbitrary distance in the memory from the code. The separation header may indicate that the code should be loaded into a hardware enclave and that the data should be loaded outside of the hardware enclave. The platform may encrypt the code and provide it to a computing device. The computing device may load the encrypted code into the hardware enclave but load the data into memory outside the hardware enclave.

    Abstract: A method for verifying and validating identifiable attributes of a user includes electronically receiving the attributes of a user and verifying their authenticity. The attributes are also validated by confirming each matches a corresponding evidenced based attribute. An internal unique identity number is assigned in concert with authenticated user attributes. Access to the identifiable attributes having the identifier is only permitted by the user or a designee of the user. A level of confidence is established from a ranking of the validated attributes. An authenticated digital identity is then formed from the identifiable validated attributes, and a level of confidence for the authenticated digital identity is established from the ranking.
