  • Patent number: 11941358
    Abstract: A user using a messaging application may be in conversations with multiple people and may inadvertently send a message intended for a first person to a second person. The user may be warned before making such mistakes by processing the text of an entered message and/or the text of the conversations with a mathematical model. A match score may be computed that indicates the match between the entered message and the conversation in which it was entered. Where the match score indicates a possible mistake, a warning may be presented to the user. In some implementations, a match score may be computed using a conversation encoding vector and a message encoding vector. In some implementations, a match score may be computed by processing a sequence of tokens for the conversation and the entered message that includes special token separators.

  • Patent number: 11941414
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe an automated process for identifying tasks that can be converted from primarily being driven by a human agent into bot-driven RPAs. This disclosure describes techniques for automatically generating RPAs by monitoring the actions of the agent and identifying corresponding events. These events can be performed on unstructured data sources and structured data sources. The events are clustered into different tasks where pattern detection techniques are used to identify common (or overlapping) events and causal relationships between the events. Using these causal relationships, the system can map events performed on unstructured data sources to events performed on structured data source. The system can then generate respective bot-RPAs for the tasks. The system can monitor, in real-time, data received from unstructured and/or structured data sources and when it identifies data for one of the bot-RPAs, automatically execute the RPA to perform the task.

  • Patent number: 11934926
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a process is introduced into a machine learned model where additional results are output by the machine learned model in addition to those results that would be obtained through use of the trained model itself. In some example embodiments, these additional results may be random or semi-random to introduce results that might otherwise not have been recommended by the machine learned model. By introducing such additional results in a controlled way, it becomes possible to reduce biases caused by a self-reinforcing feedback loop while still presenting users with accurate machine learned model results.

  • Patent number: 11935059
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques and systems directed to using context data provided by supplemental devices to reduce false declines during transaction authorization. In some embodiments, upon a transaction being declined based on a level of risk associated with the transaction, a service provider may obtain context data from a number of supplemental devices associated with a user, resource provider, location, or other suitable factor. This context data may then be assessed by the service provider to determine a degree to which the context data supports that the user conducting the transaction is the owner of the account used to conduct the transaction. The level of risk may then be adjusted based on that degree and the adjusted level of risk is used to determine whether to approve or decline the transaction.
