  • Patent number: 11403288
    Abstract: Implementations include systems and methods for querying a data graph. An example method includes receiving a machine learning module trained to produce a model with multiple features for a query, each feature representing a path in a data graph. The method also includes receiving a search query that includes a first search term, mapping the search query to the query, and mapping the first search term to a first entity in the data graph. The method may also include identifying a second entity in the data graph using the first entity and at least one of the multiple weighted features, and providing information relating to the second entity in a response to the search query. Some implementations may also include training the machine learning module by, for example, generating positive and negative training examples from an answer to a query.

  • Publication number: 20200274427
    Abstract: A method for producing insulated winding elements for an electric machine includes steps V1 to V6, as follows: V1—providing a line element; V2—applying an insulation; V3—impregnating the insulation with resin; V4—inserting the insulated winding element into a press mold (1) and pressing; V5—curing the impregnation; V6—removing the winding element from the press mold (1) and cleaning the press mold (1). The base body (10) of the press mold (1) is formed of metal, and the surfaces of the press mold (1) that come into contact with resin during the process have a coating. The coating has two sublayers (11, 12). A first sublayer (11) is in direct contact with the base body (10) and is formed as a priming coat. A second sublayer (12) is in direct contact with the priming coat (11) and is formed as an anti-adhesion layer of fluorinated polyurethane.

  • Patent number: 9984684
    Abstract: A language processing system collects similar queries and respective responses and aggregated by responses. Incorrect responses are determined and filtered by the aggregation. The remaining responses are then used to query a high precision system for attributes of entities specified by the queries. The attribute type is determined from the responses of the high precision system, and corresponding parse rules are generated. The parse rules are then associated with an operation that yields a response that specifies an attribute of the attribute type.
