Abstract: Conversational Super Bots are provided. A SuperBot may utilize a plurality of dialogs to enable conversation between the SuperBot and a user. The SuperBot may switch between topics, keep state information, disambiguate utterances, and learn about the user as the conversation progresses using each of the plurality of dialogs. Users/developers may expose a number of dialogs each specializing in a conversational subject as a part of the SuperBot. The embodiments provide enterprise systems that may handle multiple subjects in one conversation. SuperBot architecture allows dialogs to be added to the SuperBot and managed from the SuperBot. Dialog intelligence delivery via the SuperBot is decoupled from the authoring of the dialogs. Processes that make the SuperBot appear as intelligent and coherent to a user are decoupled from the dialog authoring. Developers may develop dialogs without considerations of language processing. The SuperBot includes components that manage and coordinate the dialogs.

Abstract: Method and computer program products for implementing an identity control system are disclosed. Documents are abstracted by mapping non-identifying words in the documents to non-identifying concepts that are designated by codes, which codes are linked to non-identifying descriptions and may optionally non-identifying values. Similarly, identifying words in the documents are abstracted by mapping identifying and/or potentially identifying words in the documents to identifying concepts that are designated by codes, which codes are themselves non-identifying and have non-identifying descriptions and may optionally have values, which values may be identifying or may be obfuscations of the identifying information. Non-identifying codes and optional values, the words that are mapped to those codes and stop-words are indexed as non-identifying index data. Identifying codes and optional values, and the words that are mapped to those codes are indexed as identifying index data.

Abstract: A method and computer program product for implementing indexed natural language processing are disclosed. Source document features including but not limited to terms, punctuation, parts-of-speech, phrases (including the syntactic types of the phrases), dependent clauses (including the syntactic types of the dependent clauses), independent clauses (including the syntactic types of the independent clauses), sentences, paragraphs, labeled document sections and document type and cognitive grammar constraints on the scope of influence and binding for the same are entered into an index by their begin and end byte offsets (or some alternative indexing method).

Abstract: A method and computer program product for implementing a clinical documentation, code and abstract errors and omissions detector and characterizer (the “code error detector”) are disclosed. Concepts represented in the linguistic surface forms of clinical text data source documents are mapped onto an ontology being indexed as component codes and reference codes where component codes index primitive concepts and reference codes index fully-defined concepts that are produced as linguistic cognitive grammar compositions of the primitive concepts that are indexed by the component codes. Fully-defined concepts indexed by some codes and representing either some standard for required clinical document content or an externally derived mapping of the document content to fully-defined concepts in the ontology are mapped to the ontology as source codes. The fully-defined concepts indexed by the source codes are decomposed, in the ontology, to their primitive concepts.

Abstract: A method for ascertaining operating parameters of an electrochemical storage battery, taking into account electrolyte stratification. The method including a) determining a first functional relationship between no-load voltage and state of charge as a value for the withdrawable charge in relation to nominal capacity of the storage battery, which is obtained in the state having electrolyte stratification in a discharge phase using the charge conversion since a prior no-load phase or pre-charge; b) determining a second functional relationship between no-load voltage and state of charge as a value for the withdrawable charge in relation to nominal capacity of the storage battery, obtained in the state having electrolyte stratification in a discharge phase using an accumulated charge conversion; and c) ascertaining operating parameters from the point of intersection of the first and second functional relationships and/or the slope of straight lines for describing the first and/or second functional relationships.

Abstract: A high-frequency filter arrangement comprising at least one filter consisting of a plurality of high-frequency inter-coupled cavities in which a locally fixed respective dielectric resonator element is disposed and in which a respective dielectric body can be modified, in order to tune the frequency of the filter, in the position thereof in relation to the dielectric resonator element. The structure of the inventive filter arrangement is simple, compact and economical and excellent filter and tuning properties are obtained by virtue of the fact that the dielectric body is arranged in an eccentric recess of the dielectric resonator element and that the dielectric body is rotatably arranged in the eccentric recess.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing Quality Assurance of the process of coding medical documents are disclosed. An audit of a coding process for a medical document is initiated by selecting and setting audit parameters. Using the selected parameters, a sample batch of coded documents is obtained from a universe of coded documents. The sample batch of coded documents is presented to auditor(s), and the auditor(s) provide corrections, which are recorded, and a score for each correction is calculated. A sample score, based on the corrections, is calculated in a manner that tracks to subjective auditor assessments of the process quality as being acceptable, marginally acceptable, or unacceptable, and which sample score accounts for the individual auditor subjectivity and an error.
