  • Publication number: 20240248897
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatus, media, design structures, and other implementations, including a method that includes receiving, at a local device from a remote device, query data representative of a question relating to source content of a source document of a repository of a plurality of source documents, with the source content being associated with transformed content accessible from the local device. The method further includes generating, in response to determination, at the local device, of a match between the query data and at least one portion of the transformed content, output data comprising one or more of a pointer to access, in the source document accessible from the remote device, at least one portion of the source document corresponding to the at least one portion of the transformed content, or a copy of the at least one portion of the source document.

  • Publication number: 20240211499
    Abstract: An intelligent document system provides one or more users, who are recipients of documents, with a way to “interact” with the documents for example for the purpose of understanding the content of the documents, and taking appropriate action in response to receiving the documents. Interacting with one or more documents can include navigating the documents guided by semantic content of the documents, asking questions that are answered based on the content of the documents. In some examples, the documents are “dynamic” in that users can manipulate data in the document for example for multiple different views or analyses. In some examples, the documents are augmented semantics and ontology that will allow the user to accurately navigate the document and achieve the natural interfacing they desire.

  • Patent number: 11797609
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for presenting a user interface for a conversational system is described. A unified contextual graph for use by the conversational system, the unified contextual graph comprising components based on database queries of the conversational system and a user dialog between a user and the conversational system. For each of a set of user utterances produced in a dialog with the conversational system, a semantic meaning representation is determined. The semantic meaning representations are converted to respective sentential concept graphs. The unified contextual graph is updated based on new sentential concept graphs while the dialog with the conversational system progresses.

  • Patent number: 11056107
    Abstract: A computer-implemented conversational system framework to perform tasks associated with a client request. A conversation application executing on a hardware processor provides application workflow orchestration, the conversation application receiving a client request and sending one or more application requests based on the application workflow orchestration. A conversation system executing on a hardware processor provides conversation workflow orchestration, the conversation system receiving the one or more application requests. The conversation application and the conversation system develop dialog context and store the dialog context in a memory device. The conversation application and the conversation system develop the dialog context by invoking at least one micro-service to perform tasks associated with the one or more application requests. The conversation application generates a response to the client request based on the developed dialog context.

  • Patent number: 11048870
    Abstract: A system and method performs automated domain concept discovery and clustering using word embeddings by receiving a set of documents for natural language processing for a domain, representing a plurality of entries in the set of documents as continuous vectors in a high dimensional continuous space, applying a clustering algorithm based on a mutual information optimization criterion to form a set of clusters, associating each entry of the plurality of entries with each cluster in the set of clusters through formalizing an evidence based model of each cluster given each entry, calculating a mutual information metric between each entry and each cluster using the evidence based model, and identifying a nominal center of each cluster by maximizing the mutual information.

  • Patent number: 10915588
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for presenting a user interface for a conversational system is described. A user input is received in a dialog between a user and the conversational system, the user input in a natural language. A domain trained semantic matcher is used to determine a set of entities and a user intent from the user input. One or more queries is generated to selected ones of a plurality of knowledge sources, the knowledge sources created from domain specific knowledge. The results from the one or more queries are ranked based on domain specific knowledge. A system response is presented in the dialog based on at least a highest ranked result from the plurality of knowledge sources.
