Latest Patents
Sarcar is credited with 1 patent, titled “Automatically Resolving Merge Conflicts in a Computer System.” The invention first checks whether a merge conflict matches one of several known patterns and applies a corresponding resolver when possible. If no pattern resolver applies, the system sends the conflict to a large language model (LLM), which proposes a resolution. The system then calculates a normalized divergence distance metric and compares it with threshold values to assess whether the proposed resolution is valid.
Career Highlights
Sarcar is associated with Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC. Her patented work combines pattern-based conflict handling with LLM-generated proposals and a metric-based validation step.
