Abstract

The present teaching relates to detecting causal reasons for certain action and determining treatments to prevent the action. Information on services to users is collected and used to generate targeted segments of users, each of which corresponds to a level of risk associated with a user action with users estimated at the level of risk. The information is also used to generate causal segments, each of which corresponds to a causal reason that causes the user action. Based on the targeted segments and causal segments, causal reason(s) associated with each user to carry out the user action is estimated. A market action directed to each estimated causal reasons may be automatically recommended and executed to prevent a user to carry out the user action.

Abstract

A method and system are described that receives enhanced cache data associated with operation of a device within a geofence, the enhanced cache data comprising Wi-Fi signal information and an entry count of a power-optimized mode being triggered within the geofence. The enhanced cache data is analyzed to identify the geofence as qualified for Wi-Fi-based triggering based on the entry count exceeding a first threshold. When the geofence is qualified, one or more candidate service set identifiers (SSIDs) are identified based on detection frequency of the one or more candidate SSIDs exceeding a second threshold. A notification is sent to a user device that presents the one or more candidate SSIDs. A selection is received from the user device of at least one SSID from the one or more candidate SSIDs, and the device is configured to use the at least one selected SSID to trigger a geofence event.

Each of the bundled embedding models captures a respective aspect of the past network dynamics. When temporal data is received with real time observations of the network operation, metrics on the performance thereof, and a point of failure, embeddings of the temporal data relating to the point of failure are derived, based on the bundled embedding models, and used to generate, by time series forecasting, a recommendation on an auto-heal resolution. When performance information of the network associated with the point of failure is received, it is used for online learning of learnable parameters associated with the time series forecasting.

Abstract

A device may include a processor. The processor may be configured to: detect either provisioning or deprovisioning a User Equipment device (UE) with a carrier profile; obtain a first identifier that identifies the UE and a second identifier that identifies the carrier profile; and generate a third identifier based on the first identifier and the second identifier, wherein the third identifier associates the first identifier and the second identifier. The processor may be further configured to either store the third identifier via a network device included in the network; or revoke the third identifier.

Abstract

The present teaching relates to adaptive generative AI via feedback. Human evaluators evaluate an answer automatically generated by a machine expert in response to a question based on a reference from a source. The evaluation is relied on to update a fidelity metric for each human evaluator. A cumulative ranking of the answer is determined using the evaluation and the updated fidelity metric of each human evaluator. A fidelity attribute for the machine expert is updated based on the cumulative ranking. Feedback is created based on the answer, the question, the cumulative ranking, and the updated fidelity attribute for adapting the performance of the Q&A system.

Abstract

A device may receive original data to be deidentified and may select one or more dictionaries, from a plurality of dictionaries, based on the original data. The device may sort the one or more dictionaries based on an output control key to generate one or more sorted dictionaries, and may hash the original data into one or more hash codes. The device may extract a sequence of a quantity of digits or characters, from each of the one or more hash codes, to generate one or more sequences, and may retrieve, from the one or more sorted dictionaries, one or more substitution values corresponding to the one or more sequences. The device may generate deidentified data based on the one or more substitution values, and may perform one or more actions based on the deidentified data.

Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized framework that involves a state machine for multi-threaded, multi-step task extraction that is configured to operate by implementing a suite of tables and corresponding views that do not require any updates and/or data copying, which allows for additional states being adopted for disparate processing regimes. The state machine enables insertions of transactional usage records into several tables in a data warehousing environment, where jobs in the table can be configured to identify the job name along with other key information for how to process such job, as well as information related to what kind of identifier (ID) to use and rules for retry and/or error handling. The framework allows multiple threads to work on subsets of data in a single table and update the status of many records while they are in-flight.
