  • Patent number: 11822875
    Abstract: Content to be summarized is received and analyzed using an extractive summarizer to determine a reference extractive summary of the content. The content is further analyzed using a plurality of different abstractive summarizers to determine candidate abstractive summaries of the content. Each of the candidate abstractive summaries is compared with the reference extractive summary to determine corresponding evaluation metrics. Based at least in part on the evaluation metrics, one of the candidate abstractive summaries is selected as a selected summary to be provided.

  • Patent number: 11816119
    Abstract: Systems and method for improving query performance by querying an appropriate database engine based on the operation of the query request is provided. In one aspect, this approach involves querying a row-oriented database, querying a column-oriented database, or blacklisting the query request. In particular, updating the column-oriented database involves delete and insert operations. By maintaining updated databases and querying appropriate database engines, the response time of a query request may be improved.

  • Patent number: 11805146
    Abstract: A modified configuration management database (CMDB) system is disclosed in which detected configuration item (CI) vulnerabilities are stored as less-resource-intensive detection objects, rather than as more-resource-intensive vulnerable item (VI) objects. The system includes a vulnerability response (VR) server that enables promotion rules to be created and periodically applied to the stored detections. When the conditions of a detection promotion rule are satisfied by information relating to a stored detection, a new VI may be created and related to the stored detection within the CMDB. The disclosed promotion rules can be configured to ensure that VIs are only automatically created for high-risk or relevant detections, substantially reducing the number of VIs to be created, stored, and managed. As such, the disclosed system substantially reduces resource consumption and improves the efficiency and operation of the CMDB.

  • Patent number: 11790176
    Abstract: Present embodiments are directed to a virtual agent with improved natural language understanding (NLU) capabilities. The disclosed virtual agent enables topic selection and topic changes during natural language exchanges with a user. The virtual agent is designed to select suitable topic flows to execute based on intents identified in received user utterances, including selection of an initial topic flow in response to a topic identified in a first user utterance, as well as switching between topic flows mid-conversation based on identified topic changes. The virtual agent is also capable of considering all intents and entities conveyed during the conversation, which enables the virtual agent to avoid prompting the user to provide redundant information. Furthermore, the virtual agent is capable of executing topic flows as part of a global topic flow, which enables the virtual agent to perform a number of predefined activities as part of each interaction with the user.

  • Patent number: 11784962
    Abstract: In accordance with the present approach, a collaborative chat system is provided that enables collaborative communication between a user preferring a native chat platform and a different user who communicates using a non-native or third-party chat platform. The user may particularly select various other users to be added to a collaborative chat, regardless of which chat platform the other users have set as their main or preferred communication channel. Indeed, when displaying the various users available to be added to the collaborative chat, the collaborative chat system may display a visual indication or icon that indicates which chat platform the various users are available through. The collaborative chat system or platform may utilize bi-directional communications between the native chat platform and any communicatively coupled third-party chat platforms to link the user with the selected other users within a collaborative chat instance.

  • Patent number: 11768831
    Abstract: A natural language query to domain-specific language query (NLQ-to-DSLQ) translation system includes a language model and a domain-specific language (DSL) parser that constrains the output of the language model to a DSL, such as structured query language (SQL). At each decoding step, the language model generates a predicted next token for each of a set of potential translations of a NLQ. The DSL parser evaluates each of the potential translations at each decoding step based on a set of stored DSL rules, which define valid terminology, syntax, grammar, and/or other constraints of the DSL. The DSL parser may reject and remove from consideration partial potential translations that are invalid or receive a low parsing score, such that the language model only continues to generate new tokens at the next decoding step for partial potential translations that are determined to be valid and/or sufficiently high scoring.
