  • GENERATING SEARCH INSIGHT DATA
    Publication number: 20230205794
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating additional insight data for search results. Individual search results may be obtained and used to generate a parse tree for the search result data. A dependency graph may then be generated using the parse tree, where the dependency graph includes a root node that corresponds to a query parameter. A scoring or weighting algorithm is applied to the dependency graph to generate and aggregate scores for nodes in the dependency graph relative to the root node. The generated scores or weights are used to generate insight data for the search results.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RAPPORT DETERMINATION
    Publication number: 20230206160
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a rapport score for a contact. Data associated with a contact may include an audio recording, a transcript, metadata, and/or other contact data collected during or generated after a contact. One or more rapport models are applied to the contact data to generate rapport metrics that capture one aspect of the rapport during a contact. Rapport metrics can be compared to target rapport metrics to determine whether the rapport metric indicates positive rapport during the contact. From rapport metrics, a rapport score can be generated that indicates the overall rapport for the contact. Rapport metrics, rapport scores, and other information associated with a contact can be provided in a manner that allows for useful evaluation of whether contact participants developed positive rapport during a contact and/or a series of contacts over time.

  • Catheter with removable vision probe
    Patent number: 11684758
    Abstract: A robotic system comprises an instrument including proximal distal sections. The distal section comprises a steerable segment and a distal tip. The instrument also includes a main lumen and a pull wire. The system also comprises a sensor to detect a position of the distal tip of the instrument and a computing device that causes the system to record a position of a working configuration of the distal tip, determine, based on a sensor signal, a movement of the distal tip in response to insertion of a probe into the main lumen, and generate a control signal based on the determined movement. The system also comprises a drive interface connected to the pull wire at the proximal section of the instrument. The drive interface adjusts a tensioning of the pull wire based on the control signal to return the distal tip towards the working configuration recorded before the movement occurred.
