Abstract: A transportation management system generates routing guidance from an origin location to a destination location by modifying edge weights in a graph of a geographic location to penalize difficult immediate maneuvers. Responsive to receiving a routing request, the system identifies a position of a provider device in a base map having edges representing road segments and nodes representing intersections between road segments. A sub-graph is generated for the edges in the base graph located up to a threshold distance from the origin location, and the system modifies the weight of one or more edges in the sub-graph corresponding to a difficult immediate maneuver. When applying a routing algorithm to generate the routing guidance, the system uses the edge weights of the generated sub-graph for a first portion of the routing guidance and the original edge weights of the base graph for a second portion of the routing guidance.

Abstract: Automatically generating sentences that a user can say to invoke a set of defined actions performed by a virtual assistant are disclosed. A sentence is received and keywords are extracted from the sentence. Based on the keywords, additional sentences are generated. A classifier model is applied to the generated sentences to determine a sentence that satisfies a threshold. In the situation a sentence satisfies the threshold, an intent associated with the classifier model can be invoked. In the situation the sentences fail to satisfy the classifier model, the virtual assistant can attempt to interpret the received sentence according to the most likely intent by invoking a sentence generation model fine-tuned for a particular domain, generate additional sentences with a high probability of having the same intent and fulfill the specific action defined by the intent.
