  • Patent number: 12282501
    Abstract: A system for automatically generating responses to user queries includes one or more processors, operable when executing instructions to: receive a query from a user, determine a first set of similarity scores between the query and a plurality of stored queries stored in a data store, and determine whether a first similarity score of the first set of similarity scores meets a first threshold. In accordance with a determination that the first similarity score meets the first threshold, the processors are further operable to obtain a set of case information for the current case; retrieve case information for at least one precedent case; determine a second set of similarity scores between the current case and the at least one precedent case; determine whether a second similarity score of the second set of similarity scores meets a second threshold; and generate a response to the query.

  • Patent number: 12282483
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a structured data database and for exchanging electronic files containing unstructured or partially structured data. A system stores first structured data in a database, wherein the structured data represents a property. The system generates an electronic file, including by (a) storing unstructured data in the electronic file, wherein the unstructured data causes a representation of the property to be rendered on a face of a document represented by the file and (b) storing an identifier in the electronic file indicating a location in the database at which the first structured data is stored. The file is transmitted outside the system. Upon receipt of a copy of the file, the system reads the identifier from the copy of the received file and accesses the database location indicated by the identifier read from the received file.

  • Publication number: 20250104559
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for optimizing real-time traffic flow of a multi-class vehicle network. In some embodiments, a trained machine learning model may be used to determine one or more segments of a street network where traffic congestion is predicted to occur at a predetermined future time. The vehicles may include a first type of vehicle and a second type of vehicle, each occupying different portions of a given segment. A subset of vehicles occupying the segments at the predetermined future time may be identified and, for each, a set of alternative routes may be determined. Quantum optimization data, including the pre-selected routes, the alternative routes, and an indication of whether the vehicle is of a first or second type, may be provided to a quantum computing system, which may return an updated route for at least some of the vehicles to minimize traffic congestion at the predetermined future time.
