  • Patent number: 11704497
    Abstract: In an approach to generating and using a sentence model for answer generation, one or more computer processors ingest a first corpus of a plurality of text sentences. One or more computer processors convert the plurality of text sentences into a plurality of sentence vectors. One or more computer processors group the plurality of sentence vectors into a plurality of sentence clusters, wherein a sentence cluster is composed of sentences that are semantically similar. One or more computer processors receive a second corpus. One or more computer processors determine, for each sentence cluster of the plurality of sentence clusters, a frequency each sentence cluster appears in the second corpus. Based on the determined frequency, one or more computer processors calculate a probability of each sentence cluster of the plurality of sentence clusters. Based on the calculated probabilities, one or more computer processors generate a first sentence model.

  • Patent number: 11681549
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a new solution is provided for an in-memory database provided in a cloud as a service that enables “job cross running” instead of “parallel job running.” Specifically, job scripts are clustered based on a shared service. A primary job script in the cluster is compiled and executed, but secondary job scripts in the cluster are not compiled until after the execution of the primary job script has begun. A mock library is inserted into each of the secondary job scripts to cause service calls for the shared service in the secondary job scripts to be replaced with mock service calls. The secondary job scripts are then scheduled and executed, and upon completion the primary job script is permitted to delete the shared service.

  • Publication number: 20230103396
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a bone conduction based sound generating lollipop, a processing method and a system thereto. The bone conduction based sound generating lollipop includes a housing, a trigger, a controller and a sound generating component. The sound generating component, the controller and the trigger are integrated in a packaging cavity formed by the housing, and a separate packaging of the sound generating component is eliminated. When a supporting component of the housing enters a human oral cavity, the trigger sends an opening instruction to the controller, the controller drives the sound generating component to vibrate, and then a vibration signal is transmitted to a human auditory system in a bone conduction manner after passing through the supporting component of the housing and an edible object attached to the supporting component, and passing through an oral tissue or teeth of the human body.
