Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating conversational survey questions. The systems and methods analyze a received survey question response to identify characteristics of a survey response, including topics and other response features. For example, the systems can determine a sentiment associated with a given product or service that a respondent expresses within a response. Based on the determined sentiment, and further based on a set of logic rules received from a survey administrator, the systems and methods generate provide conversational follow-up questions associated with the identified product or service.

Abstract: A system dynamically assigns spaces to users. The system acquires scheduling information for users and identified times when one of the spaces should be assigned to a group of the users (e.g., when a meeting is scheduled). The system may select the space based on the size of the group. The users wear smart identifier (ID) badges that transmit short-range communications signals. A detector detects the signals and may forward a notification to the system identifying the users' locations. The system dynamically re-assigns the space to different users if more than a threshold portion of the group members are, based on the determined locations, not expected to reach the reserved space at the scheduled time. The system assigns a different space to the group that is closer to the determined locations and/or more appropriately sized for the number of available group members.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence system is configured to receive over a network a search request for a transportation instrument associated with a first date. Matching scheduled transportation events are identified. Matching scheduled transportation events categorized by a first trained learning engine are presented by a user device. A selection of a first of the matching scheduled transportation events is received from the user device. A second trained learning engine is used to predict a time frame when the first matching scheduled transportation event will be associated with a minimum attribute value. A reservation instruction is transmitted to a remote system to reserve utilization of the first matching scheduled transportation event during the time frame predicted by the second trained learning engine. A user is enabled to utilize the first matching scheduled transportation event for transport.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving requirements data for a first enterprise resource planning (ERP) project and accessing a data repository that includes multiple templates. A subset of the templates include activity templates and each template is associated with at least one other ERP project. A system identifies activity templates based on the requirements data. Each identified activity template defines deliverables for performing the first ERP project. The system receives user input for validating an identified activity template by referencing the requirements data. The system selects an activity template in response to receiving the user input that validates the activity template. The system uses the selected activity template to generate a first deliverable for executing the first ERP project.
