Abstract: A BI system identifies key performance indicators (KPIs) of interest for a given time duration without requiring any user inputs for such purpose. In other words, the user may provide inputs for purposes such as specifying the time duration, for initiation of execution of modules to trigger the identification, etc., but no user inputs may be required for such identification itself. In an embodiment, the KPIs of interest are determined by examining a corresponding sequence of measurements for each key performance indicator (KPI). The KPIs thus identified are sent for display.

Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure aids further examination of data set for improving corresponding key performance indicators (KPI). In an embodiment, a data set containing a plurality of data points is selected, with each data point specifying an individual fact value for a respective combination of members and each member being associated with a corresponding dimension. A respective aggregate fact value is generated for each member of each dimension. A respective variation among aggregate fact values of corresponding members is computed for each dimension. The set of dimensions having more variation is identified as containing pertinent information for further examination of a key performance indicator (KPI).

Abstract: A dialogue intent analyzer uses a conversation between a user and agent, and intents in the conversation to predict a set of answers that better respond to pending user question. The dialogue intent analyzer understands the context surrounding the pending question by capturing and modeling prior conversation and intents within the conversation. Dialogue intent analyzer also reduces genericness in predicted answers by weighting previously used answers based on their frequency and length. Dialogue intent analyzer also increases diversity of predicted answers by using a diverse beam search.

A third multiplexer passes the first divided signal or the second divided signal in response to a select load signal to produce a multiplexer output. A divider divides the multiplexer output by a set divisor to produce an output clock.

Abstract: A clock signal is generated with an oscillator. A crystal oscillator core within the oscillator circuit is switched on to produce first and second oscillation signals that are approximately opposite in phase. When a difference between a voltage of the first oscillation signal and a voltage of the second oscillation signal exceeds an upper threshold range, the crystal oscillator core is switched off. When the difference between the voltage of the first oscillation signal and the voltage of the second oscillation signal falls below the upper threshold range, the crystal oscillator core is switched back on. This operation is repeated so as to produce the clock signal.
