Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for enabling artificial intelligence to display responses in a conversational user interface that are tailored to a user of the interface, to predicted future states, and/or to predicted trajectories that include transitions between multiple states. In one aspect, a method includes initiating a user session with a conversational user interface of an artificial intelligence system that displays, within the conversational user interface, responses to user interactions received during the user session, the responses being generated using one or more machine learning models of the artificial intelligence system. During the user session, the system receives data indicating one or more user interactions within the conversational user interface by a user. The system updates a state record that represents a first state. The system processes the state record to determine potential trajectories for the user session.

Abstract: In an industrial control system (ICS), latent vectors are generated to represent identity or behaviors of host devices coupled to the ICS. A computing system captures communications transmitted by a host device across a network associated with the ICS. A set of values are extracted from one or more respective fields in the communication, then applied to a trained neural network. Values of a first set of fields are applied at an input layer of the trained neural network, while values of a second set of fields are applied at an output layer of the neural network. Based on the application of the neural network to the values extracted from the communication, the computing system generates a latent vector.

Abstract: A multilevel fire detector system includes a vessel with low-cost thermoelectric sensors such as thermopiles, facing multiple directions, that amplify infrared (IR) wavelengths particular to wildfire. A controller processes and compares IR data patterns in various ways and determines if potential fire risk or heat surges exceeds a threshold, which is a function of on-board and external data, then produces a warning signal transmitted by a communication system. The system may be deployed on its own, or configured with infrastructure, including transmission lines implicated in wildfires.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for inspection of a potential source location (PSL) at an industrial facility that has physical components, such as pipes and valves, that transport one or more gaseous materials. A computing device assist in refocusing a technician equipped with a network of mobile sensors and a handheld device/wand to detect a gaseous emission at the industrial facility. The mobile sensors capture measurements on a recurring basis to assist the technician responsible for operating the handheld device/wand to identify exactly which physical component located within a PSL at the industrial facility are causing fugitive emissions. The disclosed system and method update an initial PSL by considering the recurring measurements and/or other inputs (e.g., weather data) to reduce the area of the initial PSL, thus better instructing the mechanic to identify the fugitive emission.
