Patent number: 11966697Abstract: Systems and methods for automated, degradation-resistant, tuning of machine-learning (“ML”) models are provided. The systems and methods may identify an inoperative input utterance, retrieve a feature set associated with the inoperative input utterance, and generate an updated utterance-feature-intent (“UFI”) mapping based on the retrieved feature set. The systems and methods may retrain the ML model using the updated UFI mapping, and compare the accuracy of the system after the retraining and before the retraining. In a scenario where the accuracy of the system does not improve, the systems and methods may amplify the updated UFI mapping. In a scenario where the accuracy of the system does improve, the systems and methods may deploy the updated UFI mapping.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Viju Kothuvatiparambil, Donatus Asumu

Patent number: 11164564Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a system comprises interface circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives an input via the interface circuitry. The input is based on an utterance of a user, and the processing circuitry uses a probabilistic engine to determine one or more candidate intents associated with the utterance. The processing circuitry determines a number of the one or more candidate intents that exceed a threshold. If the number of candidate intents that exceed the threshold does not equal one, the processing circuitry uses a deterministic engine to compare the input to a set of regular expression patterns. If the input matches one of the regular expression patterns, the processing circuitry uses the matching regular expression pattern to determine the intent of the utterance. The interface circuitry communicates the intent of the utterance as an output.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Donatus Asumu, Bhargav Aditya Ayyagari
