  • Publication number: 20260244616
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for explanations of database query results by a virtual assistant are described. In an example, a processing device is operable to receive an input that includes a request in a natural language format related to a database. For example, the request is an instruction to create, alter, retrieve, delete, manage, or manipulate the database or data in the database. A first machine-learning model (e.g., a large language model (LLM)) generates a database query based on the request. The processing device queries the database using the database query to obtain a query result. A second machine-learning model generates a query explanation of the database query in the natural language format. The processing device then presents the query result and query explanation in a user interface.

  • Patent number: 12711172
    Abstract: A topic mapping system generates customized mapping schemas for multiple topic sets. The topic mapping system generates document clusters that represent groups of digital documents. The topic mapping system also generates, for each topic set, a document-topic mapping data object (“DTM data object”) that describes a customized mapping schema of the document clusters to labels in the topic set. The topic mapping system identifies customized groups of documents for responding to multiple requests that have a particular keyword. For each request, the topic mapping system identifies a particular topic set and DTM data object associated with a computing system that provided the request. Based on the keyword, the topic mapping system identifies documents that are categorized according to the customized mapping schema in the DTM data object. The topic mapping system can provide customized groups of documents to respective computing systems that provided the multiple requests.

  • Publication number: 20260236831
    Abstract: A query system is described that supports retriever machine-learning model training data generation and implementation. The retriever machine-learning model is configured to retrieve examples for inclusion in a prompt formed from an input query that provide context for the query in performance of a corresponding task. The query system, in one or more examples, implements an alternating minimization technique for example selection that enhances in-context learning (ICL) performance for resources having few initial examples, e.g., for an initial resource. The query system is also configurable to incorporate example diversity that improves generalization and reduces bias in the retriever machine-learning model used to select the examples.

  • Patent number: 12704950
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for glyph-aware text selection. For instance, a glyph selection system can detect that a user has selected a glyph within a user interface. The glyph selection system can highlight the glyph and/or a region encompassing the glyph to communicate, to the user, that the glyph is selected. This highlighted region can be determined based on the shape and/or outline of the glyph. For example, the glyph selection system can determine bounds (e.g. coordinates) of the glyph in order to highlight a region within the user interface that fully encompasses the glyph and does not include portions of unselected glyphs. In some cases, the highlighted region may be rectangular. Alternatively, the highlighted region may be non-rectangular, such as a border defined by the outline of the glyph.
