A Software Patent on Seeing Through Walls?

This European patent introduces a clever way for cameras and tracking systems to better handle moments when an object temporarily disappears from view—like when a person walks behind a tree or a car passes behind a building. Instead of losing track...

Federated Machine Learning Training

This European patent describes a method for training a machine learning model, particularly in the context of communication networks like 5G. The primary focus is to improve the accuracy of machine learning models trained using federated learning...

Natural Conversations with AI Assistants Based on Speech Pauses

This patent describes a method for enabling more natural conversations with automated assistants. The core problem addressed is the unnatural, turn-based nature of current automated assistant interactions, which doesn’t reflect how humans...

Example-Guided Image Inpainting Using Machine Learning Models

This patent describes a novel system and method for image inpainting, where missing or undesirable regions of an input image are filled in using guidance from a separate “guide image.” The core innovation lies in the use of machine...

AI-Powered Calendar Event Conflict Resolution

This patent discloses systems, methods and devices for prioritizing calendar events with artificial intelligence to resolve scheduling conflicts. When a request to schedule a new event clashes with an existing one, the system compares their...

Generating and Editing Text with Language Models

This patent discloses systems and methods developed by OpenAI for automatically generating and editing text using language models (LMs). The core innovation lies in a flexible approach that takes an input text prompt and user instructions to access...

Training Data Migration for Machine Learning Models

This patent discloses techniques for adapting previously-annotated training examples into updated training examples for training machine learning models. The core idea involves identifying a specific part (the “find expression”) within a...

AI-Powered Electronic Device Configuration via Telemetry

This patent describes an innovative system and method for automatically configuring electronic devices using artificial intelligence (AI). The core idea involves leveraging device usage data (telemetry data) as input for machine learning models to...

Cyber-Threat Score Generation Using Machine Learning

This patent describes a system and method for generating cyber-threat scores by leveraging machine learning (ML) and explicitly considering the quality of the sources providing the threat intelligence. The core innovation lies in training an ML...
