Patents by Inventor Devin A. Conley

Devin A. Conley has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11736428
    Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a message and applies a deep analytic analysis to the message. The deep analytic analysis results in a set of enriched message embedding (EME) data that is passed to a trained neural network. Based on a set of scores received from the trained neural network, a conversation is identified from a number of available conversations to which the received message belongs. The received first message is then associated with the identified conversation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10949454
    Abstract: An engagement classifier for a group chatbot is trained by leveraging the implicit dataset generated by humans engaging in both direct messages as well as group conversations. Human-to-human direct messages are used as an approximate representation of the domain knowledge and expertise of each user. The decision to engage in a group conversation is assumed to be based on that domain knowledge. The knowledge representations and instances of engagements in group conversations yields an effective set of features and labels which can be used to model the engagement decision. The same transfer learning technique is used to generate a knowledge representation for the group chatbot. Given this representation of the domain knowledge of the chatbot, the classifier can predict whether it should engage in any particular group conversation.
