Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises generating an event from a task demonstration within a digital channel, forming a collaboration context based on the event, defining a collaboration by associating an assistive action with the collaboration context, transforming the collaboration context into a conversational model, evaluating an interaction session within the digital channel for an interaction that matches the collaboration context, and upon detection of the interaction that matches the collaboration context, providing the assistive action corresponding to collaboration context.

Abstract: Embodiments herein are directed to an emulator assembly. The assembly includes a housing with a cavity, a pedal arm, an elongated member, a carrier, an end plate and a compressible member. The pedal arm is at least partially received in the cavity and has a pedal pad on one end. The elongated member extends and couples to the pedal arm on one end and couples to a carrier on an opposite other end. The end plate is spaced apart from the carrier. The compressible member is positioned in the space between the carrier and the end plate. When the pedal pad is depressed, the elongated member moves the carrier in a direction towards the end plate which drives the carrier into the compressible member such that the compressible material compresses to generate a force feedback onto a foot positioned on the pedal pad.

Abstract: A plurality of constraints associated with conversational steps implemented by a conversation model is extracted from the conversation model. Using the conversational steps and the constraints, a directed graph is constructed, each node in the directed graph representing a conversational step, each directed edge in the directed graph representing a possible execution path from a first conversational step to a second conversational step. An edge in the graph is populated with flow data denoting a probability associated with the edge. By traversing a portion of the graph, an experience preview is generated, the experience preview demonstrating a user experience of a portion of the conversation model.

Abstract: Management of web conference assets in a content management system. At the conclusion of a web conferencing session, an event is raised at the content management system. Various web conference assets (e.g., recordings) and web conference parameters are analyzed in conjunction with content management system metadata. Based on the analysis, one or more actions to perform on the web conference assets are determined. The content management system metadata may include user profile information of at least one web conference participant. Rules and/or a classification model that considers then-current conditions at the content management system are used singly, or in combination, to determine action characteristics and/or labels such as a retention period or security classifications to apply to the web conference assets. The web conference assets are stored in a hierarchical directory at the content management system. The hierarchy of the directory is derived from aspects of the web conferencing facility.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a pedal assembly that includes a pedal arm configured to move based on a load applied thereon and a housing that includes a first housing member having a first cavity and a pushrod operably connected to the pedal arm and to the first housing member. A first cradle positioned within the first cavity. The first cradle includes a second cavity. A first pair of springs positioned to extend within the second cavity.

A processor formulates one or more content queries based on the build context. A processor builds a content index by augmenting a text-search index with a neural Information Retrieval (IR) index. A processor searches the content index using the one or more content queries to identify content relevant to the build context. A processor determines at least one recommendation for the user based on heuristic rules applied to the build context and the identified content, wherein each recommendation is a build suggestion or a content annotation suggestion.
