  • Patent number: 10860957
    Abstract: In a remote technical support system, a technical support controller receives an indication of a maximum number of support sessions to be serviced by a remote technician. Thereafter, the technical support controller receives a service request for a user device, which service request is classified into a category and added to a preliminary queue corresponding to the category. The technical support controller determines if handling of the service request by the remote technician would cause the number of support sessions currently being handled by the remote technician to exceed the previously-indicated maximum number of support sessions. If not, the service request is added to a work queue for the remote technician and removed from the preliminary queue.

  • Publication number: 20200382437
    Abstract: A multi-layer resource aggregation (RA) stack may generate prescriptive activation timetables for controlling activation states for computing resources. To facilitate operator control and adjustment, the RA stack may, at an aggregation engine layer, aggregate the computing resource into one or more resource aggregates. The computing resources within the resource aggregates may have similar individual activation prescription patterns. Machine learning techniques may be used by the RA stack to identify these related individual activation prescription patterns and aggregate the computing resources accordingly. Once aggregated, the RA stack may make a uniform activation determination for the aggregates as single units. Therefore, the computing resources within the aggregate may be controlled and/or adjust together. Thus, the RA stack increases the scalability of implementation of prescriptive computing resource activation state determinations.

  • Patent number: 10853638
    Abstract: A system and method for extracting structured information from image documents is disclosed. An input image document is obtained, and the input image document may be analyzed to determine a skeletal layout of information included in the input image document. A measure of similarity between the determined skeletal layout and each of the document templates may be determined. A document template may be selected as a matched template, based on the determined measure of similarity. Box areas from the input image document may be cropped out, and optical character recognition (OCR) may be performed on the box areas. Obtained recognized text may be automatically processed using directed search to correct errors made by the OCR. Statistical language modeling may be used to classify the input image document into a classification category, and the classified input image document may be processed according to the classification category.

  • Patent number: 10850964
    Abstract: A system and method for filling containers with a precise amount of fluid is disclosed. The system and method use artificial neural network logic to sense conditions and to control the two-valve dispensing unit based on the sensed conditions to fill containers with a precise amount of fluid. Using neural network logic combined with sensors and controllers for equipment eliminates the significant human effort and human errors associated with manually filling containers with fluid. Furthermore, the neural network can log data quicker and with more accuracy than a human manually logging data. The system and method use a two-valve dispensing unit to precisely fill and to prevent and clear clogs caused by fluid solidifying within the dispensing unit.

    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: 10846843
    Abstract: A device receives images of a field on a farm, and filters the images of the field to generate filtered images. The device isolates planting lanes in the filtered images, where the planting lanes include lanes formed by crops in the field, and the planting lanes are isolated via a masking technique or a sliding windows technique. The device identifies plant gaps in the planting lanes, where the plant gaps correspond to portions of the planting lanes that are missing crops, the plant gaps are identified based on a heat map when the masking technique is utilized to isolate the planting lanes, and the plant gaps are identified based on sliding windows when the sliding windows technique is utilized to isolate the planting lanes. The device superimposes the plant gaps over the images to generate a visual representation of stressed areas in the field, and performs an action based on the visual representation of the stressed areas.

  • Patent number: 10838782
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting higher level events based on lower level events. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a stream model that defines elements of a data domain. A stream mapping that defines sensor identifiers for real-world sensors and associates each sensor identifier with a respective element of the data domain is received. A user-specified stream matching pattern is received. The stream matching pattern specifies respective sensor identifiers of sensor identifiers of the real-world sensors, and for each sensor identifier, a tuple of data elements of the stream model and, for each tuple of data elements, co-occurrence criteria including at least one time window. A stream of events is obtained from the real-world sensors. A determination is made that two or more events co-occur within the time window and whether the one or more co-occurrence criteria are satisfied.

The sub-symbolic embeddings may be generated with computer vision processing. The symbolic features may include mathematical representations of image content, which are enriched with information from background knowledge sources. The system may aggregate the sub-symbolic and symbolic features using aggregation techniques such as concatenation, averaging, summing, and/or maxing. The multi-modal embeddings may be included in a multi-modal embedding model and trained via supervised learning. Once the multi-modal embeddings are trained, the system may generate inferences based on linear algebra operations involving the multi-modal embeddings that are relevant to an inference response to the natural language question and input image.
