Title: Thomas Nathan Denby: Inventor in Policy Enforcement

Introduction

Thomas Nathan Denby is an inventor based in Santa Monica, California. His patent work addresses policy enforcement for digital components, including the use of machine learning to identify and label content that may violate a policy.

Latest Patents

Denby is associated with 1 patent, titled “System and Method for Policy Enforcement.” The technology evaluates candidate digital components to determine whether they violate a policy. It can filter candidates so that only a subset is sent to a machine-learning model for further review. The model may predict whether a component violates a policy and provide a confidence score for that prediction. A corresponding label can then be applied to the component, while the confidence score helps determine whether that label should be propagated to other components. The patent describes seed-based and neighborhood-based approaches to label propagation.

Career Highlights

Denby is associated with Google Inc. His patent reflects work on applying machine learning and confidence-based decisions to policy review and enforcement for digital content.

Collaborations

The patent lists Dongjin Kwon and Tushar Dogra among Denby’s collaborators. Their work is associated with the policy-enforcement system and its methods for reviewing digital components and propagating labels.

Conclusion

Thomas Nathan Denby’s patent focuses on combining machine-learning predictions, confidence scores, and label propagation to support policy enforcement for digital components.
