  • Patent number: 11972217
    Abstract: System and method for displaying a user interface of an evaluation system configured to evaluate predicted answers generated by a machine learning system. For example, the method includes receiving textual data and a predicted answer to a question associated with a text object. The text object includes a structured data field of the textual data. The predicted answer includes a confidence level. The confidence level is determined by a machine learning system. In response to determining the confidence level being larger than or equal to a predetermined confidence threshold, the predicted answer and a reference is stored in a storage for retrieval and display. The reference indicates a location of the text object in the textual data. In response to determining the confidence level being smaller than the predetermined confidence threshold, the question and the text object associated with the question is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20060136635
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for communication among multiple devices on a data bus with relatively few connections to the bus and reduced logic for enumeration, arbitration, and data flow control is described. A Very Little Multi Master Bus (VLMMB) couples various devices in a bit-rotated manner. When one or more devices seek ownership (control) of the bus, that device raises its assigned bus request line to a predetermined logic (e.g., “1” or “0”). Because there are as many bus request lines as devices, each device can “see” the devices requesting the ownership of the bus. If multiple devices request ownership, the requesting devices determine which one gains ownership by a hierarchical, round-robin, or similar logical decision.
