  • Publication number: 20250342161
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for generating natural language responses to queries using vector-based matching. A system can include a data store and at least one computing device in communication with the data store. The computing device can receive a query including a set of query text, generate a vector representation of the set of query text, perform a vector-based matching operation on the vector representation of the set of query text against a plurality of response entries stored in the data store, determine a particular response entry to use for the query based on the vector-based matching operation, and generate a response to the query based on the particular response entry. The response may include a natural language expression that incorporates a value of a property associated with a code in the particular response entry.

  • Publication number: 20250342165
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for using large language models (LLMs) to answer natural language queries. The system can receive and analyze temporal entries and stores them with metadata in vector format. The system can receive a query with query text from a user and generate an LLM query with a subset of the data sets based on the query text. The system can submit the LLM query to an LLM system and use the LLM response to generate a response to the query. The response may include text and/or graphics, such as summaries, answers, suggestions, charts, etc. The system may provide the response via a user interface, such as a voice assistant, a chatbot, a web page, etc.

  • Publication number: 20240427999
    Abstract: A computing device can receive a first conversational input of one or more sequential conversational inputs via one or more user input devices. The first conversational input can be associated with a particular uniform resource locator (URL) address. The computing device can process the first conversational input using one or more natural language processing algorithms to determine one or more intents based on the first conversational input. The computing device can select one or more data segments from a data store based on the intents. The computing device can generate a command including the data segments. The computing device can generate a generative response by performing the command with a generative artificial intelligence algorithm. The computing device can provide a response to the first conversational input based on the generative response.

  • Publication number: 20240127002
    Abstract: A system can include memory and a computing device in communication therewith. The system can receive, via an input device, a first conversational input via an input device associated with a URL address. The system can process the first conversational input via a NLP algorithm to determine a context based on the URL address and the first conversational input and determine an intent based on the context and the first conversational input. The system can generate a response to the first conversational input based on the context and the intent. The system can receive a second conversational input. The system can process the second conversational input via the NLP algorithm to generate an updated intent based on the first conversational input, the second conversational input, and the URL address. The computing device can generate a second response to the second conversational input based on the updated intent and the context.

  • Publication number: 20060082844
    Abstract: An additive system for process color separation and printing using interference pigments is provided. The primary colorant materials are interference red (111), interference green (113), interference blue (114), and interference gold or yellow (112). These primaries are designated as R?G?B?Y? (110) to distinguish them from the additive RGB (120) red (121), green (122), and blue (123) primaries used in conventional video, and the subtractive CMYK (220) cyan (225), magenta (221), yellow (223), and black primaries used in conventional process color printing. Separations are produced by a matrix transformation (350) from RGB color space to R?G?B?Y? color space. A halftone transfer curve (420) is used to maximize highlight detail and color intensity. Stochastic halftoning is recommended. Conventional white substrates are replaced by black substrates, and the conventional use of positive and negative images is reversed.

  • Publication number: 20050241659
    Abstract: Smokable rods of cigarettes are manufactured using wrapping materials that incorporate at least one fibrous material (e.g., flax fibers, hardwood pulp fibers and/or softwood pulp fibers) at least one filler material (e.g., calcium carbonate in particulate form). The wrapping materials possess multi-layer coatings. The wrapping materials possess coatings in the form of series of spaced apart bands, each band possessing a series of layers. At least one of the coating layers can have a filler material dispersed or suspended within a film-forming material of that layer.

The wrapping materials possess multi-layer coatings. The wrapping materials possess coatings in the form of series of spaced apart bands, each band possessing a series of layers. At least one of the coating layers can have a filler material dispersed or suspended within a film-forming material of that layer. For a representative wrapping material, a pattern of applied to the wire side major surface of the wrapping material substrate as a plurality of layers, and at least one of the layers includes ethylcellulose and calcium carbonate. For that layer, the calcium carbonate is present in an amount greater than the ethylcellulose, on a weight basis.
