  • Patent number: 11966697
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated, degradation-resistant, tuning of machine-learning (“ML”) models are provided. The systems and methods may identify an inoperative input utterance, retrieve a feature set associated with the inoperative input utterance, and generate an updated utterance-feature-intent (“UFI”) mapping based on the retrieved feature set. The systems and methods may retrain the ML model using the updated UFI mapping, and compare the accuracy of the system after the retraining and before the retraining. In a scenario where the accuracy of the system does not improve, the systems and methods may amplify the updated UFI mapping. In a scenario where the accuracy of the system does improve, the systems and methods may deploy the updated UFI mapping.

  • Patent number: 11960881
    Abstract: A system and method for simplifying the creation of documentation, and especially software documentation. A software application, referred to as a source metadata tagger and document compiler is used to add metadata to a final output document. This metadata contains identifiers that are associated with various source files. In this way, the system can easily determine which source file is being reviewed and/or flagged by the reviewer. This information can be used by the ticketing/notification system to create a work item for the appropriate developer or development group. This is vastly simpler than the current system, where human intervention is required to determine which source file is being flagged.

  • Patent number: 11921978
    Abstract: An electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a mediate item representation corresponding to a sequence of images in a first display mode of user-selectable display modes, where the media item is part of a collection of ordered media items such that prior media item(s) precede the first media item and subsequent media item(s) follow the first media item in the order. In response to detecting touch input including movement in a direction, the device: upon determining that a subsequent media item corresponding to a second sequence of images is designated as being displayed in the first display mode, displays the subsequent media item in the first display mode, and upon determining that the subsequent media item is designated as being displayed in a second display mode different from the first display mode, displays the subsequent media item in the second display mode.

  • Patent number: 11900017
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to optimizing engagement with a display during digital assistant-performed operations in response to a received command. The digital assistant generates an overlay having user interface elements that present information determined to be relevant to a user based on the received command and contextual data. The overlay is presented over the underlying operations performed on corresponding applications to mask the visible steps of the operations being performed. In this way, the digital assistant optimizes display resources that are typically rendered useless during the processing of digital assistant-performed operations.

  • Patent number: 11886792
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for at least semi-automated generation of model documentation. In an example embodiment, a template corresponding to a model is selected. User input populating portions of a build notebook is received. The build notebook comprises a model identifier identifying the model and executable code. The build notebook is executed using an execution engine to cause an intermediary file encoded in a type-setting system to be generated. Executing the build notebook causes cross-references of elements of the model documentation to be mapped to appropriate locations within the intermediary file. The elements comprise graphical representations of results of model tests executed on the model and/or extracted or user-defined artifacts required for the model documentation.

  • Patent number: 11886533
    Abstract: Systems and methods for efficiently identifying and extracting machine-actionable structured data from web documents are provided. The technology employs neural network architectures which process the raw HTML content of a set of seed websites to create transferable models regarding information of interest. These models can then be applied to the raw HTML of other websites to identify similar information of interest. Data can thus be extracted across multiple websites in a functional, structured form that allows it to be used further by a processing system.

  • Patent number: 11860668
    Abstract: Systems and methods enable a computing system to recognize a sequence of repeated actions and offer to automatically repeat any such recognized actions. An example method includes determining a current sequence of user actions is similar to previous sequence of user actions, determining whether the previous sequence is reproducible and, when reproducible, initiating display of a prompt that requests approval for completing the current sequence based on the previous sequence and, responsive to receiving an indication of approval, completing the previous sequence. Another example method included determining that a first current sequence of user interactions is complete and is not similar to any saved sequence of user interactions, saving the first current sequence as a previous sequence, identifying a second sequence as satisfying a similarity threshold with the previous sequence, and initiating display of a prompt that requests approval for saving the previous sequence as a shortcut.

  • Patent number: 11809676
    Abstract: A computer navigation system that represents categories and sub-categories of material with functionally labeled objects connected in a hierarchical organization. Descending nodes represent more detailed subsets of material. Hovering the computer mouse over a node displays thumbnails of the items available under it, enabling the user to search for items without opening the respective pages, transforming a literal or verbal data filing and retrieval process into a more intuitive and easy to use visual one. Once the user hovers the computer mouse over the node with the desired item and sees its thumbnail the user clicks on the node, opening the screen from which the user can access that item (or upload a similar one), or clicks on the thumbnail to access the item directly. In addition, the system employs algorithms to group items into various categories and sub-categories and assigns them to the appropriate nodes.

  • Patent number: 11790262
    Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based data transformation system receives an input package and enables automatic execution of one or more processes in a robotic process automation system (RPA). The input package includes a plurality of documents and metadata required for the execution of the automated processes. The plurality of documents are categorized into a domain. Entities with their corresponding name-value pairs and entity relationships are extracted from the plurality of documents. An ontology is selected based on the domain. The entities are mapped to output fields identified from the selected ontology. The mappings thus generated are transmitted to the RPA system which employs the mappings to automatically execute the one or more processes.

  • Patent number: 11657077
    Abstract: A computer system document according to one embodiment includes a generation unit and an update unit. The generation unit performs first machine learning on a target document, as input data, to which a correct path in a tree structure where each node indicates a document category is given, and thereby generates a classification model indicating a right path to a leaf node for the target document. The update unit performs second machine learning that applies, to the classification model, the target document to which the correct path is not given, and when a path from an Nth level node to an (N+1)th level node is different from the correct path, updates the classification model by setting a modified path from the (N+1)th level node to an (N+2)th level node different from a child node of the (N+1)th level node based on the correct path.
