  • Publication number: 20200364220
    Abstract: Technologies are described for converting object-based query language queries into structured query language (SQL) queries. For example, converting an object-based query written in an object-based query language to generate a converted SQL query can comprise extracting incompatible keywords from the object-based query, generating metadata for objects and fields used in the object-based query, inserting implicit query information into the object-based query, and transforming a structure of the object-based query into a SQL compatible structure. The object-based query can also be enriched with application information for mapping entities to specific applications. The converted SQL query can be output.

  • Patent number: 10839303
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer-readable device embodiments for automatically correcting erroneous license plate numbers generated by automatic license plate recognition. An embodiment operates by selecting a set of adjacent license plate recognition (LPR) stations comprising a first LPR station, a second LPR station, and a third LPR station, accessing an error pattern probability matrix for at least the third recognized license plate number accessed in relation to at least one of the first recognized license plate number or the second recognized license plate number differing from the third recognized license plate number, and determining a corrected license plate number based on the error pattern probability matrix. In some embodiments, LPR correction may be accurately realized even when an erroneous license plate numbers are missing characters, such as by visual obstruction from an LPR camera or sensor, or has no characters in common with the real license plate number.

  • Publication number: 20200356632
    Abstract: Linguistic expressions for training a chatbot can be generated in an automated system via linguistic expression templates that are associated with intents. The pre-categorized linguistic expressions can then be used for training and validation. Chatbot development can thus be improved by having a large number of expressions for development, leading to a more robust chatbot. In practice, the process can iterate with modifications to the templates until a suitable benchmark is met. The technique can be applied across human languages to generate chatbots conversant in any number of languages and is applicable to a variety of domains.

  • Publication number: 20200356871
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method can receive a new plan deviation alert having a deviation level that quantifies a mismatch between expected supply chain parameters specified by a supply chain plan and observed supply chain parameters. Responsive to the new plan deviation alert, the method can perform a rule-based search to find a plurality of potential remediation solutions to correct the mismatch. The method can simulate implementation of the potential remediation solutions and evaluate expended resources associated with them. Based on the evaluated expended resources, the method can generate a ranked list of candidate remediation solutions and display the ranked list of candidate remediation solutions in a user interface. The method can receive a selected remediation solution from the ranked list of candidate remediation solutions for initiation. Machine learning can be used on an expert user's selection to adapt to the expert's preferences and provide more relevant remediation solutions.
