Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution that enables a machine to automatically generate a melody. In this solution, user emotion and/or environment information is used to select a first melody feature parameter from a plurality of melody feature parameters, wherein each of the plurality of melody feature parameters corresponds to a music style of one of a plurality of reference melodies. The first melody feature parameter is further used to generate a first melody that conforms to the music style and is different from the reference melody. Thus, a melody that matches user emotions and/or environmental information may be automatically created.

Abstract: In implementations of the subject matter described herein, a new approach for presenting a response to a message in a conversation is proposed. Generally speaking, in response to receiving a message in a conversation, the received message will be matched with one or more documents on the sentence basis. That is, the received message is compared with the sentences from a document(s), rather than predefined query-response pairs. In this way, a whole sentence may be selected from the document as a candidate response. Then the suitability of this sentence with respect to the ongoing conversation will be determined, and the response will be generated and rendered in an adaptive way based on the suitability. As a result, the user experiences may be significantly enhanced in the chatbot scenario.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a radar reflector configured for radar-based distance measurements for determining a position of an elevator car within an elevator shaft. The radar reflector comprises three or more triangular panels defining a pyramidal frustum volume having a base plane and an upper plane that are parallel. The pyramidal frustum volume is configured to directly reflect radar signals originating from a radar transceiver back to the radar transceiver based at least in part on the triangular panels being mutually perpendicular at a projected apex above the upper plane. The reflected radar signals reflected by the radar reflector have substantially parallel trajectories with the original, pre-reflected radar signals emitted by the radar transceiver. The triangular panels of the radar reflector being mutually perpendicular advantageously maintains direct reflection of radar signals in spite of any potential horizontal tilt of the radar reflector to a certain extent.
