Patent number: 12204866Abstract: Techniques for conversational-based searching are described. A system may receive a first spoken user input, and may determine that the first spoken user input corresponds to a request for information associated with an entity. The system may retrieve item results corresponding to the entity. The system may determine a suggested user input based on the retrieved item results, and may determine output data corresponding to the suggested user input. The system may send output data to a user device, where the output data includes the item results and the suggested user input. The system may receive a second spoken user input, and may determine that the second spoken user input corresponds to the suggested user input. In response, the system may send the previously determined output data to the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2021Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Srinivasa Sandeep Atluri, Constantin Daniel Marcu, Kevin Small, Kemal Oral Cansizlar, Vijit Singh, Li Zhou, Aritra Biswas, Bhanu Pratap Jain

Patent number: 11836578Abstract: A device receives historical data associated with multiple cloud computing environments, trains one or more machine learning models, with the historical data, to generate trained machine learning models that generate outputs, and trains a model with the outputs to generate a trained model. The device receives particular data, associated with a cloud computing environment, that includes data identifying usage of resources associated with the cloud computing environment, and processes the particular data, with the trained machine learning models, to generate anomaly scores indicating anomalous usage of the resources associated with the cloud computing environment. The device processes the one or more anomaly scores, with the trained model, to generate a final anomaly score indicating anomalous usage of at least one of the resources associated with the cloud computing environment, and performs one or more actions based on the final anomaly score.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Kun Qiu, Vijay Desai, Laser Seymour Kaplan, Durga Kalyan Ganjapu, Daniel Marcus Lombardo

Publication number: 20210134441Abstract: A patient's image data and associated metadata describing the image data and characteristics of the patient are received and stored in a memory area. Information that describes one or more imaging analysis services and associated service criteria is accessed and compared to the metadata. Based on matches between the image metadata and service criteria, services are selected and executed, producing an output. Iterative rounds of service matching based on the metadata and the output of previous services and service execution proceed. The output of the services is associated with the image data and metadata, stored in the memory area, and made available to the user. A data repository, including the original images, metadata, and service output is accessible via the services for use in comparative analyses. Such services can utilize the repository to dynamically update indices and algorithms used in the comparative analyses.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2020Publication date: May 6, 2021Applicant: Washington UniversityInventor: Daniel Marcus

Patent number: 10984429Abstract: A prediction of the cost associated with translating textual content in a source language can be determined. A first quantity estimation of first textual content may be determined. The first textual content is to be translated via human translation. A second quantity estimation of second textual content may also be determined. The second textual content is to be translated via machine translation. An indication of a target language is obtained, wherein the source language and the target language form a language pair. The prediction of the cost associated with translating the first textual content and the second textual content from the source language to the target language is then determined.
