Publication number: 20220337538Abstract: A message may be suggested to a user participating in a conversation using one or more neural networks where the suggested message is adapted to the preferences or communication style of the user. The suggested message may be adapted to the user with a user embedding vector that represents the preferences or communication style of the user in a vector space. To suggest a message to the user, a conversation feature vector may be computed by processing the text of the conversation with a neural network. A context score may be computed for one or more designated messages, where the context score is computed by processing the user embedding vector, the conversation feature vector, and a designated message feature vector with a neural network. A designated message may be selected as a suggested message for the user using the context scores. The suggestion may then be presented to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Kelsey Taylor Ball, Tao Lei, Christopher David Fox, Joseph Ellsworth Hackman

Patent number: 11373044Abstract: Machine learning models may be used during a communications session to process natural language communications and perform actions relating to the communications session. For example, a machine learning model may be used to provide an automated response to a user, to suggest a completion of text being entered by a user, or to provide information about a relevant resource. Machine learning models may rely on machine learning model data that is updated during a communications session as communications are processed by the machine learning model. To improve the performance of a machine learning model when a user leaves a first communications session and enters a second communications session, the machine learning model data may be stored during a first communications session and then retrieved during the second communications session to initialize a machine learning model for the second communications session.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: ASAPP, INC.Inventors: Christopher David Fox, Tao Lei, Joseph Ellsworth Hackman

Publication number: 20210345728Abstract: A dance shoe having an upper and an underfoot portion, the underfoot portion includes a sole shank, consisting of a relatively rigid structure, extending longitudinally in the shoe over at least a forefoot portion of the shoe and at least partially over a midfoot portion. The sole shank has at least one hinge with a unidirectional stop disposed widthwise in the sole shank. The sole shank covers at least the forefoot portion of the underfoot area and it locks to support plantar flexion and hinges to facilitate dorsiflexion of the foot. To facilitate en pointe movements, the sole shank may be coupled to a rigid distal part of the shoe, such as a toe box. The inventive subject matter is also directed to dance shoes, as well as the sole shanks themselves, and to methods of making the sole shanks and using the sole shanks in assemblies.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2018Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventor: David Fox

Publication number: 20200329144Abstract: A company may implement automated workflows for convenience of users or to reduce support costs. For example, allowing a user to change an address using an automated workflow may be faster or less expensive than with a human agent. Companies may provide support over different types of communications channels with different capabilities, such as voice channels and text channels. Instead of implementing different workflows for different channels, a company may separate aspects of the workflow that are common to different channels from aspects of the workflow that are different for different channels. For example, a workflow may be implemented to determine an action in response to a received communication where the action may be used with multiple channels. The action may then be used to select an action implementation that is specific to a channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2019Publication date: October 15, 2020Inventors: Mitchell Steven Morgan, Frederick William Poe Heckel, Priya Sawant, Adrien Brochard, Christopher David Fox, Tao Lei, Joseph Ellsworth Hackman

Publication number: 20200327192Abstract: A company may implement automated workflows for convenience of users or to reduce support costs. For example, allowing a user to change an address using an automated workflow may be faster or less expensive than with a human agent. In some instances, a first communications session may be started between a first user and a second user. During the first communications session, one or more communications may be processed to select an intent of the first user and a value of an information item communicated by the first user. An automated workflow may be selected to continue assisting the first user, and the first user may be transferred to a second communications session with the automated workflow. The automated workflow may be initialized with the value of the information item that was provided during the first communications session so that the first user does not need to repeat information.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2019Publication date: October 15, 2020Inventors: Joseph Ellsworth Hackman, Christopher David Fox, Jonathan David Weese, Satchuthananthavale Rasiah Kuhan Branavan, Tao Lei
