Abstract: In a method of query derivation in an observation platform a signal from a first communication device is received at a second communication device that is associated with a computer system. The computer system is associated with an organization and a first characteristic of the signal corresponds to an audible source. The signal is parsed, by the computer system according to a policy, to determine metadata associated with the signal, wherein the first communication device is operated by a user and wherein the policy dictates rules for use of the metadata. The computer system determines a prior user history of the user. The computer system converts the audible source of the signal to text or machine understandable language. The computer system derives a query related to the organization based on at least one of the prior user history, the metadata, and the text or machine understandable language.

Abstract: The technology addresses ambiguity in neural machine translation. An encoder module receives a given text exemplar and generates an encoded representation of it. A decoder module receives the encoded representation and a set of translation prefixes. The decoder module outputs an unbounded function corresponding to a set of tokens associated with each pair of the given text exemplar and translation prefix from the set of translation prefixes. Each token is assigned a probability between 0 and 1 in a vocabulary of the exemplar at each time step. A logits module generates, based on the unbounded function, a corresponding bounded conditional probability for each token, wherein the probabilities are not normalized over the vocabulary at each time step. A loss function module having a positive loss component and a scaled negative loss component identifies whether each target text of a set of target texts is a valid translation of the exemplar.
