  • Patent number: 12014142
    Abstract: A computer-implemented process for training a natural language processing (NLP) agent having a reinforced learning model includes the following operations. A type of document from a document corpus is identified using metadata particularly associated with the document. The NLP agent tokenizes the document to generate a plurality of tokens. Using a schema identified from the type of the document, one of the plurality of tokens is compared to a system of record (SOR) field from the schema. A similarity score between the one of the plurality of tokens with a correct value and a reward based upon the similarity score are generated. A determination is made that an optimum minimum average similarity rate has not been obtained. Based upon the determination, the reinforced learning model is trained using a loss function that includes the reward.

    Abstract: Synchronizing requests with a respective context includes, responsive to a determination that there are more pages to explore, performing regular crawling operations for a current page, recording a current page in a list of explored pages and extracting links from the current page. Responsive to a determination that there are more links to extract, a next link to analyze is selected to form a selected link and responsive to a determination that there is a new request associated with the selected link, a new request identifier is created and saved as an entry in a hashmap. Responsive to a determination that there is not a new request associated with selected link, a request associated with the selected link is updated with a new link value when the link value differs.

  • Patent number: 12013773
    Abstract: An approach for generating a compiled version of a program source code. At least two different executable files may be generated applying at least two different compiler optimization settings for compiling a first part and applying at least two different compiler optimization settings for compiling a second part of the source code. A main performance part of the source code may be determined dependent on values of a target quantity of the at least two different executable files. The main performance part is the part of the first part and the second part that has a greater influence on the target quantity. The compiled version of the program source code may be generated by compiling the source code applying a higher optimization level of the compiler for compiling the main performance part than for compiling the remaining part of the source code.
