Publication number: 20190103107Abstract: A method includes receiving an utterance at a computerized automated assistant system, and detecting, via a date/time constraint module of the computerized automated assistant system, one or more constraints in the utterance associated with a date or time. The utterance is associated with a domain. The method further comprises generating, via the date/time constraint module, a periodic set for each of the one or more constraints associated with the date or time, and combining, via the date/time constraint module, the one or more periodic sets. The method further comprises processing, via a dialogue manager module of the computerized automated assistant system, the combined periodic sets to determine an action, and executing the action at the computerized automated assistant system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Applicant: Semantic Machines, Inc.Inventors: Jordan Rian Cohen, David Leo Wright Hall, Jason Andrew Wolfe, Daniel Lawrence Roth, Daniel Klein

Publication number: 20190103092Abstract: A method for a dialogue system includes establishing a dialogue session between an application executing on a server and a remote machine. The dialogue session includes one or more utterances received from a user at the remote machine. A natural language processing machine identifies a request associated with a computer-readable representation of an utterance. A dialogue expansion machine generates a plurality of alternative actions for responding to the request. A previously-trained machine learning confidence model assesses a confidence score for each alternative. If a highest confidence score for a top alternative does not satisfy a threshold, the plurality of alternatives including the top alternative are transmitted to a remote machine (which may be the same remote machine or a different remote machine) for review by a human reviewer. After the dialogue system and/or the human reviewer select an alternative, computer-readable instructions defining the selected alternative are executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Applicant: Semantic Machines, Inc.Inventors: Jesse Daniel Eskes Rusak, David Leo Wright Hall, Jason Andrew Wolfe, Daniel Lawrence Roth, Daniel Klein, Jordan Rian Cohen

Patent number: 10190106Abstract: The present invention provides a Cas9 platform to facilitate single-site nuclease gene editing precision within a human genome. For example, a Cas9 nuclease/DNA-targeting unit (Cas9-DTU) fusion protein precisely delivers a Cas9/sgRNA complex to a specific target site within the genome for subsequent sgRNA-dependent cleavage of an adjacent target sequence. Alternatively, attenuating Cas9 binding using mutations to the a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) recognition domain makes Cas9 target site recognition dependent on the associated DTU, all while retaining Cas9's sgRNA-mediated DNA cleavage fidelity. Cas9-DTU fusion proteins have improved target site binding precision, greater nuclease activity, and a broader sequence targeting range than standard Cas9 systems. Existing Cas9 or sgRNA variants (e.g., truncated sgRNAs (tru-gRNAs), nickases and FokI fusions) are compatible with these improvements to further reduce off-target cleavage.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Univesity of MassachusettsInventors: Scot Andrew Wolfe, Mehmet Fatih Bolukbasi, Ankit Gupta, Erik J Sontheimer, Nadia Amrani
