  • Patent number: 11449675
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to perform selective deep parsing of natural language content. A targeted deep parse natural language processing system is configured to recognize one or more triggers that specify elements within natural language content that indicate a portion of natural language content that is to be targeted with a deep parse operation. A portion of natural language content is received and a pre-deep parse scan operation is performed on the natural language content based on the one or more triggers to identify one or more sub-portions of the natural language content that contain at least one of the one or more triggers. A deep parse is performed on only the one or more sub-portions of the portion of natural language content that contain at least one of the one or more triggers, while other sub-portions of the portion of natural language content are not deep parsed.

  • Patent number: 11403544
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for validating artificial intelligence models. In operation, a data set is obtained. At least one first artificial intelligence (AI) model on the data set is run, for a first time period, to output first predictions. Additionally, at least one second AI model on the data set is run, for a second time period that is less than the first time period, to output second predictions. A first probability of the first predictions and an error of the second predictions are calculated. Further, a second probability of the first predictions is calculated based on the first probability and the error. A representative AI model of the at least one first AI model is selected based on the second probability.

  • Patent number: 11294921
    Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a system and method which can perform a text-based search for a temporal data pattern in time-series data. The text-based search process is significantly faster than a distance measurement-based search performed based on temporal pattern comparisons. In one example, the method may include storing previously recorded temporal patterns of time-series data, determining a set of optimal bin boundaries based on the previously recorded temporal patterns, where the set of optimal bin boundaries divide the observed range of time-series data into a plurality of discrete bins each labeled with a respective symbol, transforming the previously recorded temporal patterns of time-series data into symbol strings based on the set of optimal bin boundaries, where a symbol string is based on data points in the plurality of discrete bins, and storing the symbol strings within a symbol storage.
