ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,769,791, issued on Oct. 20, was assigned to U.S. Bank National Association.

"Entropy-based graph denoising" was invented by Carlos A Garavito-Garzon (Robbinsdale, Minn.) and Erik A. Hoversten (Minneapolis).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A hop parameter corresponding to a graph representation of input data is set in an entropy-based graph denoising engine. A degree value is computed for a node in the graph. The graph is iteratively traversed from 1 up to the hop parameter. During an iteration, a set of nodes that is at a hop distance of the iteration is extracted, each node in the set is ranked according to a corresponding entropy value, a...
