The central processing unit continuously receives the continuous streams from the sensors, store them in a memory and, for each newly received point cloud frame of each stream, generates or updates a global cumulated tridimensional map of the environment of the at least one vehicle by determining an aligned point cloud frame in a global coordinate system of the environment, and updating the global cumulated tridimensional map by merging the aligned point cloud frame.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2017Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: OUTSIGHTInventors: Raul Bravo Orellana, Olivier Garcia

Patent number: 11245716Abstract: In an aspect of the invention, the method includes one or more processors identifying events in the target environment that are associated with an indication of a security attack on the target environment. The method further includes composing rules based on the events and relating to an entity identifier that is fixed over a period of time in relation to an entity in the target environment. The method further includes weighting the rules according to a probability that the rule positively identifies a security attack. The method further correlating outputs of multiple activated rules relating to an entity identifier that are activated over time in response to events occurring in the target environment. The method further includes aggregating weightings from the multiple activated rules. The method further includes determining a score for an entity relating to the entity identifier based on the aggregated weightings.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas M. Roelofs, Codur S. Pranam

Patent number: 11238366Abstract: A machine learning (ML)-based technique for user behavior analysis that detects when users deviate from expected behavior. A ML model is trained using training data derived from activity data from a first set of users. The model is refined in a computationally-efficient manner by identifying a second set of users that constitute a “watch list.” At a given time, a differential data ingestion operation is then performed to incorporate data for the second set of users into the training data, while also pruning at least a portion of the data set corresponding to data associated with any user included in the first set but not in the second set. These operations update the training data used for the machine learning. The machine learning model is then refined based on the updated training data that incorporates the activity data ingested from the users identified in the watch list.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2018Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Josiah Bolding, Matthew Elsner, Jian Lin, Matthew Paul Ouellette, Yun Pan

Patent number: 11227349Abstract: Methods and systems are described. A method includes accessing transaction data related to restaurants associated with a plurality of geographically separate locations, determining a number of co-visitors shared by each of the restaurants associated with the plurality of geographically separate locations above a predetermined threshold, generating a graphical representation of the plurality of restaurants based on the number of the co-visitors shared by restaurants with the co-visitors above the predetermined threshold and the distance between the restaurants with the co-visitors. The graphical representation is transformed into restaurant embeddings and a neural network model is used to generate restaurant preferences based on the restaurant embeddings.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATIONInventors: Xiaobo Dong, Javid Ebrahimi, Wei Zhang, Liang Wang

Patent number: 11217088Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for normalizing and publishing alerts using a behavioral recognition-based video surveillance system configured with an alert normalization module. Certain embodiments allow a user of the behavioral recognition system to provide the normalization module with a set of relative weights for alert types and a maximum publication value. Using these values, the normalization module evaluates an alert and determines whether its rareness value exceed a threshold. Upon determining that the alert exceeds the threshold, the module normalizes and publishes the alert.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Intellective Ai, Inc.Inventors: Wesley Kenneth Cobb, Kishor Adinath Saitwal

Patent number: 11216492Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a computer system including a knowledge graph storing a plurality of entities. The computer system generates an Aho Corasick trie including an entity name for each of the plurality of entities in the knowledge graph. The computer system compares a document viewed by a user to a plurality of templates defining potential entity names to identify extracts of the document matching at least one of the plurality of templates. The computer system applies the document to the Aho Corasick trie to determine potential entity names within the document that each match a respective one of the plurality of entities in the knowledge graph. The computer system annotates one or more matching entity names within the document with information from the knowledge graph for the respective ones of the plurality of entities to show, for example, a topic card providing information about the respective entities.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dmitriy Meyerzon, Nikita Voronkov, John Michael Winn, John Guiver, Hadi Abbass Kotaich
