Filed:

Aug 16, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/639665

Inventors:

Michael A. Terry - Cambridge MA
Kathleen Ryall - Somerville MA

Assignee:

Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc. - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

H04Q 720

US Classification:

4554122, 455411, 4554563, 455518, 340 51

Abstract:

A computerized method identifies entities accessing locations in a communications network. A unique identification is associated with a private identification for each entity accessing the network. A known list is maintained for each entity. Each entry in the known list for a particular entity includes the unique identification and private identification of other entities known to the particular entity. A location list is maintained. Each entry in the location list includes a plurality of unique identifications of other entities having shared a common location in the network. A message is generated only if at least two unique identifications of a particular entry of the location list are identical to at least two unique identifications found in the known list of the particular entity. The message includes the associated private identifications of the at least two identical unique identifications.

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides to transparent and controllable human-AI interaction via chaining of machine-learned language models. In particular, although existing language models (e.g., so-called “large language models” (LLMs)) have demonstrated impressive potential on simple tasks, their breadth of scope, lack of transparency, and insufficient controllability can make them less effective when assisting humans on more complex tasks. In response, the present disclosure introduces the concept of chaining instantiations of machine-learned language models (e.g., LLMs) together, where the output of one instantiation becomes the input for the next, and so on, thus aggregating the gains per step.
