  • Patent number: 10657205
    Abstract: An architecture and processes enable computer learning and developing an understanding of arbitrary natural language text through collaboration with humans in the context of joint problem solving. The architecture ingests the text and then syntactically and semantically processes the text to infer an initial understanding of the text. The initial understanding is captured in a story model of semantic and frame structures. The story model is then tested through computer generated questions that are posed to humans through interactive dialog sessions. The knowledge gleaned from the humans is used to update the story model as well as the computing system's current world model of understanding. The process is repeated for multiple stories over time, enabling the computing system to grow in knowledge and thereby understand stories of increasingly higher reading comprehension levels.

  • Publication number: 20190242862
    Abstract: A system for determining food safety includes a recording device printed with one or more inks configured to change characteristics over predetermined time intervals, and a scanning device configured to extract encoded information from the recording device and convey the extracted information to an analysis service. The analysis service is configured to provide predictive modeling tools for analysis of the extracted information and provide at least one assessment of a food product bearing the recording device to the scanning device.
