Patent GB-2584982-A (GB)
Title: An explainable artificial intelligence mechanism
Inventor: Hani Hagras
IPC: G06N7/02
Filed: 2018-10-30
Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) opaque model is explained from a local or global point of view by: generating a Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Model, FLM; training the Type‑2 FLM with synthetic data samples or from the opaque model’s evaluation; inputting an input of the opaque model to the Type-2 FLM to provide an explanation of the output of the opaque model from a local or global point of view. Training samples may be generated as random synthetic points by sampling the opaque model around the input such that the points capture the local meaning whilst spread enough for the synthetic population to be robust and diverse. Sampling for local explanation comprises feature selection for determining dominant features. Distance between the input and data points in the training data is used to generate weights of the data points. Globally approximating the opaque model may involve building surrogate transparent models.

Title: Uplink HARQ in cellular wireless communication networks
Inventor: UMER SALIM
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2018-12-21
Abstract: A method of uplink transmission on configured grant resources (grant-free transmission) in a cellular network, comprises allocating at a base station recurring uplink transmission resources to a UE, the resources being grouped with N occasions in each repeating period, and defining a number of repetitions K to be used for uplink transmission of transport blocks in the resources. An indication of resources, N and K are transmitted to the UE, and the UE transmits 501 repetitions of a block, each repetition being on an occasion N within one period. The number of repetitions transmitted in a period is determined 502. If the number of repetitions is less than K, an explicit HARQ feedback process 506 may be applied, wherein the UE transmits with the block an indication that an explicit HARQ feedback process is required, and may also transmit a scheduling request. The base station may transmit a positive/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) accordingly. If K repetitions are transmitted, a timer-based HARQ process 503 may be applied, wherein the base station transmits no acknowledgement for successful decoding and a UL grant for re-transmission otherwise. This method may be used to improve latency in URLLC and mMTC protocols.

Title: Monitoring and tracking interactions with inventory in a retail environment
Inventor: SOMNATH SINHA
IPC: G07G1/00
Filed: 2022-08-15
Abstract: A method of monitoring checkout activity in a retail environment comprises receiving, from one or more processors of a computing system, a time series of video frames depicting an area of interest in the retail environment. Checkout scanning equipment, such as a self-checkout, is located in the area of interest. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to process the video frames and detect inventory items in the area of interest by removing background components depicting the scanning equipment from each frame. It is then determined for each detected inventory item whether a valid checkout procedure was followed. This determination is then stored and/or displayed for each detected inventory item. Determining whether the valid checkout procedure was followed may include determining a pattern of motion, such as a direction of movement of the detected item, whether the pattern of motion is in accordance with the valid checkout procedure, and whether the detected inventory item corresponds to a scan made by the scanning equipment. An alert message may be displayed if the detected inventory item does not correspond to any scan. The system may use video frames from legacy CCTV systems to detect attempted theft of items from a retail store.
