  • Publication number: 20220283933
    Abstract: A system may execute a pipelined multiple-tier test stack to support migration of computing resources via a migratory data stream. Via the pipelined multiple-tier test stack, the system may perform extract, transform, and load operations on the migratory data stream. The extract, transform, and load operations may be used to identify applications that may undergo testing. At a generation tier of the pipelined multiple-tier test stack, the system may generate test scripts, which may be used to test the application. The tests may be validated by the system via a validation tier of the pipelined multiple-tier test stack. To govern the operations, the pipelined multiple-tier test stack may rely on a multi-point reference data model.

  • Patent number: 11436368
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system for managing personal data over a blockchain network. In an implementation, the system includes a user access provider (UAP) node in communication with a service provider (SP) node. The SP node may include an SP blockchain storing personal data on a SP transaction chain. The UAP node may store meta data of the user on a UAP transaction chain. The meta data may include access control information for the service provider to access the personal data. The UAP node may receive, from the SP node, an access request for the service provider to access a portion of the personal data of the user. The UAP node may access control information for the service provider based on the access request, update the meta data with the configured access control information, and replicate the meta data to the SP node via a blockchain transaction.

  • Patent number: 11425059
    Abstract: A device receives, based on a user interaction with a chatbot, request data for a request for a service associated with a software tool that is part of a service management system. The device identifies, based on the request data, the service that is being requested and a first set of entity data for a first set of entities relating to the service. The device obtains a second set of entity data for a second set of entities by using an application programming interface (API) to reference a data structure that is associated with the service management system and that stores the second set of entity data. The device causes one or more components of the service management system to use the first set of entity data to execute a set of actions to perform the service.

  • Patent number: 11423901
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include methods, systems, and computer-readable storage mediums for utilizing multiple AI service providers by a dialog management system. The dialog management system can include a dispatcher bot, multiple worker bots, and multiple AI adapters that are each associated with a different cloud-based AI service provider. In response to receiving a query, the dispatcher bot selects a particular worker bot to handle the query. The particular worker bot is assigned to a particular AI service provider. An AI adapter associated with the particular AI service provider, generates a query message based on the query. The AI adapter sends the query message to the particular AI service provider and receives a response message. The dialog management system sends a representation of the response message to the particular worker bot, receives an answer for the query from the particular worker bot, and provides the answer for output.

  • Patent number: 11409906
    Abstract: A system includes a display control prime located within a central-zone in communication with a provisioned agent operating on an edge-zone device. The display control prime may implement prime-blind open-loop pixel-state control on the edge-zone device by executing pixel-state commands via the provisioned agent. The provisioned agent, operating within the edge-zone, may have access to un-sanitized data, which may be unavailable to the display control prime in the central-zone. The display control prime may provide conditional pixel-state commands via a pixel-state control parameter matrix. The provisioned agent may identify an operative pixel-state command from among the conditional pixel-state commands based on the un-sanitized data to which the display control prime is blind.

  • Patent number: 11412305
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for facilitating analyzing media items and to filter inappropriate media items before distribution to the users. In one aspect, a method includes partitioning digital media items such as videos into segments and/or scenes, and classifying the segments into predetermined classes such as “Violence”, “Conversation”, “Street”, “Nudity”, “Animation”. After classifications have been assigned, the segments are clustered and/or grouped together before presenting the segments belonging to a particular cluster to a rating entity in a single user interface, for further evaluation. After evaluation, the segments of the media items that were approved by the rating entity are used to identify media items for which all the segments were approved by the rating entity before distributing the media items to the users.

  • Patent number: 11409779
    Abstract: An iterative classifier for unsegmented electronic documents is based on machine learning algorithms. The textual strings in the electronic document are segmented using a composite dictionary that combines a conventional dictionary and an adaptive dictionary developed based on the context and nature of the electronic document. The classifier is built using a corpus of training and testing samples automatically extracted from the electronic document by detecting signatures for a set of pre-established classes for the textual strings. The classifier is further iteratively improved by automatically expanding the corpus of training and testing samples in real-time when textual strings in new electronic documents are processed and classified.

  • Patent number: 11397888
    Abstract: A virtual agent with a dialogue management system and a method of training the dialogue management system is disclosed. The dialogue management system is trained using a deep reinforcement learning process. Training involves obtaining or simulating training dialogue data. During the training process, actions for the dialogue management system are selected using a Deep Q Network to process observations. The Deep Q Network is updated using a target function that includes a reward. The reward may be generated by considering one or more of the following metrics: task completion percentage, dialogue length, sentiment analysis of the user's response, emotional analysis of the user's state, explicit user feedback, and assessed quality of the action. The set of actions that the dialogue management system can take at any time may be limited by an action screener that predicts the subset of actions that the agent should consider for a given state of the system.
