  • Publication number: 20220050971
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for predicting responses to at least one conversational phrase. At least one conversational phrase may be received. A first probability for a subset of candidate responses of a plurality of candidate responses may be determined based upon, at least in part, context associated with the at least one conversational phrase, the at least one conversational phrase, and each context associated with the plurality of candidate responses. A second probability for the subset of candidate responses may be determined based upon, at least in part, the subset of candidate responses, the at least one conversational phrase, and the context associated with the at least one conversational phrase. At least one candidate response for the at least one conversational phrase may be determined based upon, at least in part, the first probability and the second probability.

  • Patent number: 10941273
    Abstract: Graphene-containing latex. The latex contains a graphene structure and non-carbon, non-oxygen and non-hydrogen elements. The provided latex is enabled to have multiple performances such as far-infrared performance, antibacterial performance and bacteriostasis by selecting a specific carbon nanostructure compound and by means of collocation and combination of a graphene structure and elements such as Fe, Si and Al; and furthermore, higher far-infrared effect and antibacterial effect can be achieved by controlling a specific addition proportion. The experimental results prove that the far-infrared performance of the latex can reach a maximum value of 0.93, and the bacteriostasis can reach a maximum value of 99%.
