Patent number: 12491833Abstract: Methods, computing systems, and technology for automated vehicle action generation are presented. For example, a computing system may generate content for presentation to a user via a user interface of a display device. The content may include user interface elements for inputting one or more triggering conditions associated with a vehicle function of a vehicle and one or more settings of the vehicle function. The computing system may receive, via the user interface, data indicative of user input specifying the triggering conditions and data indicative of user input specifying the settings of the vehicle function. The computing system may determine an automated vehicle action that defines a relationship between the triggering conditions and the settings of the vehicle function. The computing system may output command instructions for the vehicle to implement the automated vehicle action for automatically controlling the vehicle function based on whether the vehicle detects the triggering conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2022Date of Patent: December 9, 2025Assignee: Mercedes-Benz Group AGInventors: Katarina Carlos, David DeHaven, Niraj Desai, Sangho Kim, Christopher Liu, Jagjit Pal, Stephen Piazza, Adrian Ternes, Thomas Victor

Patent number: 12087282Abstract: Provided is a method including obtaining a set of ontologies mapping n-grams onto concepts to which the n-grams refer in different respective domains of knowledge. The method includes receiving an update associating a first n-gram with a first concept and receiving information by which the update is associated with a given domain of knowledge. The method includes selecting a subset of ontologies by determining that the update in the given domain of knowledge is applicable to respective domains of knowledge of the subset of ontologies and that the first concept has a specified type of relationship to a subset of concepts to which other n-grams are mapped in the subset of ontologies. The method also includes storing, in response to the determination, associations between the first n-gram and the subset of concepts in at least some of the subset of ontologies in memory of the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2023Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: SORCERO, INC.Inventors: Walter Bender, Martin Abente Lahaye, Christopher Liu

Patent number: 11972217Abstract: System and method for displaying a user interface of an evaluation system configured to evaluate predicted answers generated by a machine learning system. For example, the method includes receiving textual data and a predicted answer to a question associated with a text object. The text object includes a structured data field of the textual data. The predicted answer includes a confidence level. The confidence level is determined by a machine learning system. In response to determining the confidence level being larger than or equal to a predetermined confidence threshold, the predicted answer and a reference is stored in a storage for retrieval and display. The reference indicates a location of the text object in the textual data. In response to determining the confidence level being smaller than the predetermined confidence threshold, the question and the text object associated with the question is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: RELX INC.Inventors: Douglas C.
