US11769013B2 · Salesforce, Inc. · Source: google-patentsA multi-tenant system performs custom configuration of a tenant-specific chatbot to process and act upon natural language requests. The multi-tenant system configures the tenant-specific chatbots without requiring tenant-specific training. The multi-tenant system providing a user interface for configuring a tenant-specific set of permitted actions. The multi-tenant system determines a set of example phrases for each of the selected permitted actions. The multi-tenant system receives a natural language request from a user and identifies the action that the user wants to perform. The multi-tenant system uses a neural network to compare the natural language request with example phrases to identify an example phrase that matches the natural language request. The multi-tenant system performs the action corresponding to the matching example phrase.

US11645515B2 · International Business Machines Corp · Source: google-patentsEmbodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for automatically determining which activation data points in a neural model have been poisoned to erroneously indicate association with a particular label or labels. A neural network is trained using potentially poisoned training data. Each of the training data points is classified using the network to retain the activations of the last hidden layer, and segment those activations by the label of corresponding training data. Clustering is applied to the retained activations of each segment, and a cluster assessment is conducted for each cluster associated with each label to distinguish clusters with potentially poisoned activations from clusters populated with legitimate activations. The assessment includes executing a set of analyses and integrating the results of the analyses into a determination as to whether a training data set is poisonous based on determining if resultant activation clusters are poisoned.
