  • Patent number: 11893061
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for processing a natural language query. A receiver circuitry receives the natural language query from a user. A natural language interpreter circuitry parses the natural language query to convert the natural language query into a plurality of categories and a plurality of variables, each variable in the plurality of variables corresponding to one category in the plurality of categories. A user interface displays to the user the plurality of categories' and the plurality of variables, and allows the user to modify at least one variable in the plurality of variables by providing a natural language utterance.

  • Patent number: 11288321
    Abstract: An indication of a first natural language utterance identifying a user request is received. A natural language query is generated based on the first natural language utterance. The natural language query comprises (i) a plurality of categories, and (ii) a plurality of variables. An indication of a second natural language utterance identifying a modification to the user request is received. Whether to modify the natural language query or to generate a new natural language query based on the second natural language utterance is determine. Responsive to determining that the natural language query is to be modified based on the second natural language utterance, at least one of the plurality of variables or the plurality of categories of the natural language query is modified to correspond to the second natural language utterance. A response to the user request is provided based on the modified natural language query.

  • Patent number: 9135267
    Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing a bridge between two documents on a server are provided, including receiving, at the server, a first document represented by a hierarchical data structure model having a plurality of first nodes, generating, by a processor, a second document represented by a flat data structure model having a plurality of flat data structure elements, and establishing, by the processor, the bridge between the first document and the second document. Establishing the bridge includes linking each of the plurality of first nodes to the plurality of flat data structure elements, and maintaining the bridge, such that an edit to the first document, represented in at least one of the first nodes, is applied to at least one corresponding flat data structure element, thereby applying the edit to the second document.
