Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for processing out of scope or out of domain user inquiries with a first virtual assistant, which may include the steps of receiving a user request at a user device and converting the user request into a user inquiry, interpreting the user inquiry with an anomaly detection system to generate an interpretation of the user inquiry, forming a question from the interpretation using a textual composition module, accessing a dataset of text-based descriptions of a scope of the first virtual assistant using a textual composition module and a scope of an external source using a textual composition module, querying the dataset for an answer to the question, and when the answer is found in the description of the scope of an external source, transmitting the user inquiry to the external source for processing to generate a response to the user inquiry.

Abstract: A method and system to provide artificial intelligence services to user interacting applications which includes receiving first unfulfilled service request from a user interaction application executing on a user device and generating, from the unfulfilled service request, an unfulfilled artificial intelligence service request and an unfulfilled non-artificial intelligence service request. The unfulfilled artificial intelligence service request is transmitted to an artificial intelligence service module to fulfill the unfulfilled artificial intelligence service request, which generates a fulfilled artificial intelligence service request. The unfulfilled non-artificial intelligence service request is transmitted to a back-end server to fulfill the unfulfilled non-artificial intelligence service request, which generates a fulfilled non-artificial intelligence service request.

Abstract: A method and associated system for providing artificial intelligence (AI) services. The method includes receiving an unfulfilled AI service request from a user interacting application operating on an operating system of a first user device. If the first AI service module in the first user device can process the unfulfilled request, processing the unfulfilled service request to generate and provide a fulfilled request and to the user interacting application. If the first AI service module cannot process the unfulfilled request, then transmitting the unfulfilled request to a second device with a second service module or a cloud AI service module generate a fulfilled AI service request. Then, transmitting the fulfilled AI service request to the user device, then to the user interacting application. The AI modules may operate across many different operating systems and types of devices. Updates from one AI modules may be pushed to other AI modules.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for automatically generating question and query pair from a knowledge base that involves accessing a knowledge base to extract one or more entities and one or more predicates, generating a baseline question template from a context free grammar rule, inputting the one or more entities and the one or more predicates into the baseline question template to generate a numbered question template, generating a typed question template by traversing the numbered question template through a predicate type-graph, generating a SPARQL query by inputting the one or more entities and the one or more predicates into a SPARQL query template, generating a question by inputting the one or more entities and the one or more predicates into the typed question template, and constructing a question and query pair by combining the question and the SPARQL query.

Abstract: A virtual assistant system comprising an interface configured to receive user input and provide a response to the user and a processor configured to run machine executable code. A memory storing non-transitory machine executable code configured to process the user input to generate two or more primary interpretations and one or more secondary interpretations based on one or more of the two or more primary interpretations. The code is also configured to process the primary interpretations and alternative interpretations to generate results which lead to two or more terminal states and then score the two or more terminal states to rank the two or more terminal states such that a top ranked terminal state is the top result, which is presented to the user. A transceiver may communicate over a network to a second device configured to assist the virtual assistant system in generating the top result for the user.
