Patent number: 11310172Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to create analytic metrics for bots. In one set of embodiments, the system creates a custom URI that encodes bot specific information in a URI format. An analytic record is created based on the URI and the analytic record can be logged and/or sent directly to an analytic platform designed to provide analytic metrics for websites. In this fashion, website analytic platforms can be used to provide analytic metrics for bots. In another set of embodiments, analytic records are created that are logged and/or sent directly to a bot specific analytic platform. Such a platform may help derive bot specific analytic metrics.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Inventors: Christopher Lee Mullins, David Shigeru Taniguchi

Patent number: 11250839Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for training conversational language models are presented. An embedding library may be generated and maintained. Exemplary target inputs and associated intent types may be received. The target inputs may be encoded into contextual embeddings. The embeddings may be added to the embedding library. When a conversational entity receives a new natural language input, that new input may be encoded into a contextual embedding. The new embedding may be added to the embedding library. A similarity score model may be applied to the new embedding and one or more embeddings for the exemplary target inputs. Similarity scores may be calculated based on the application of the similarity score model. A response may be generated by the conversational entity for an intent type for which a similarity score exceeds a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Tien Widya Suwandy, David Shigeru Taniguchi, Cezary Antoni Marcjan, Hung-chih Yang
