Abstract: Implementations store an event associated with a topic in a database to allow for the event to be transmitted in order with respect to other events associated with the topic which are stored in the database. A commit of a transaction is performed that includes inserting the event's payload in a record in a database object. After the commit, a field for the record is updated with an identifier of the commit. The identifier and identifiers of other commits of other transactions on the database indicate ordering of the commit with respect to the other commits. Another field of another record is updated based on the identifier and a last stored value such that the payloads of the event and of the other events are retrievable to be transmitted in an order based on the value of the other field and values of other fields of other records.

Abstract: Embodiments described in this disclosure illustrate the use of self-/semi supervised approaches for label-efficient DST in task-oriented dialogue systems. Conversational behavior is modeled by next response generation and turn utterance generation tasks. Prediction consistency is strengthened by augmenting data with stochastic word dropout and label guessing. Experimental results show that by exploiting self-supervision the joint goal accuracy can be boosted with limited labeled data.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically creating and displaying an action plan generated from an action plan template. An action plan template is created by a template owner, who can then add tasks to the action plan template until all tasks to be included as part of the template have been created. After it has been published, action plan owners can use it during an action plan creation process. An action plan owner can select a particular target record to be associated with a new action plan and specify other action plan details. An application platform can then automatically populate the new action plan with information indicating: a name of the action plan owner, a plurality of tasks a corresponding task owner who is assigned to each task, and a corresponding task deadline that was automatically calculated for each task by the action plan creation module.
