Abstract: In the various example embodiments disclosed herein, a best next action is recommended by a user's model by establishing from user inputs a personally relevant narrative context; establishing a narrative context using a Story Object Hierarchy; constructing values for user attributes and goals based on the Story Object Hierarchy; determining from the goals a user's envisioned story; optimizing actions to advance the user towards the user's envisioned story; optimizing communication of the optimized actions to reflect the constituents of the Story Object Hierarchy most likely to advance the user towards user's envisioned story; receiving new user input after communicating the optimized actions to the user; evaluating user progress towards the user's envisioned story; and recommending for the user a best next action for their personally relevant narrative context.

Abstract: A knowledge base is developed by receiving language input from a source, vectorizing it, extracting an incomplete predicate set, querying another source for input regarding the missing part of the predicate set, and storing a complete predicate set.

Abstract: A use case knowledge base is collaboratively developed by receiving language input from a user, featurizing it into language elements, extracting predicate sets that are missing a predicate head or a predicate argument, querying users for input regarding the missing predicate information, and updating the knowledge base with predicate sets and other information provided by the users.

Abstract: A support interaction is guided by generating featurized audio data, generating health assessment scores associated with certain audio segments, forming user predicates, using the user predicates to quantify changes in health assessment scores, and communicating the changes.

Abstract: A support interaction is guided in real time by generating from audio content featurized audio data that includes audio segments and audio features; generating in real time classification scores associated with certain audio segments; and displaying in real time the classifications scores and information associated with the corresponding audio segments.

Abstract: A knowledge base is collaboratively developed by receiving language input from at least one editor, featurizing it into language elements, extracting predicate sets that are missing predicate heads, querying editors for input regarding the missing heads, and updating the knowledge base with suitable predicate heads and other language elements provided by the editors.

Abstract: Sheet handling mechanism comprising a cassette having a top wall, bottom wall and opposed side walls. The cassette has an open front and is formed with a plurality of shelves to form bins. The bins are positioned on top of each other and are adapted to receive a set of sheets. A feeding mechanism is provided to feed sheets into the bins.

Abstract: A sheet handling mechanism having a pair of set removal mechanisms, each set removal mechanism is adapted to remove sets from a cassette. A sensing mechanism senses data on the sets in the cassettes and stores the data. The data on each of the sets being removed from a cassette is sensed. A mechanism for merging a set of one cassette with a set of another cassette is provided to merge the two cassettes together.

Abstract: Male and female book binding strips are packaged in cassettes and the respective cassettes are stacked in male and female hopper stations. Punched sheets are deposited in a staging station. The components of the book are then assembled in an assembly station. Thus the stack of sheets is fed onto one jaw and one male strip is fed onto that jaw while a female strip is fed onto the opposite jaw superimposed above the first-mentioned jaw. The two jaws are moved toward each other until the stack is loosely held therebetween. Thereupon the jaws are pivoted to vertical position, the stack resting on a base plate attached to one one jaw. The stack is jogged so that the holes in the sheets are aligned with each other and with the holes in the female strip. The male strip is pushed inward toward the stack, the studs fitting through the holes in the sheets and through the female strip.
