  • Patent number: 11416777
    Abstract: Techniques herein relate to improving quality of classification models for differentiating different user intents by improving the quality of training samples used to train the classification models. Pairs of user intents that are difficult to differentiate by classification models trained using the given training samples are identified based upon distinguishability scores (e.g., F-scores). For each of the identified pairs of intents, pairs of training samples each including a training sample associated with a first intent and a training sample associated with a second intent in the pair of intents are ranked based upon a similarity score between the two training samples in each pair of training samples. A particular pair of training samples with a highest similarity score is selected and provided as output with a suggestion for modifying the particular pair of training samples.

  • Patent number: 6628305
    Abstract: An extensible, object-oriented graphical user interface (GUI) framework that provides a consistent “look and feel” for an application that interfaces to the GUI framework and that manages and administers a plurality of datastores. The GUI framework is extensible by means of a “plug-in” facility through which support for additional datastores can be added, so that a collection of heterogeneous datastores can be managed using one consistent user interface.

  • Patent number: 6457016
    Abstract: A system and method for speeding data entry into an electronic form. the method includes providing the electronic form with a field that requires input of real-time data, and displaying the form to a user. The data is then automatically retrieved and displayed in real-time in the field. In response to a user interaction, the data is committed such that a current value of the data becomes a static entry in the field.
