Patent number: 11599714Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for the automatic placement of rules applied to topics in a logical hierarchy when conducting natural language processing. In some embodiments, a method includes: accessing, at a child node in a logical hierarchy, at least one rule associated with the child node; identifying a percolation criterion associated with a parent node to the child node, said percolation criterion indicating that the at least one rule associated with the child node is to be associated also with the parent node; associating the at least one rule with the parent node such that the at least one rule defines a second factor for determining whether the document is to also be classified into the parent node; accessing the document for natural language processing; and determining whether the document is to be classified into the parent node or the child node based on the at least one rule.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: 100.co Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Munro, Schuyler D. Erle, Tyler J. Schnoebelen, Jason Brenier, Jessica D. Long, Brendan D. Callahan, Paul A. Tepper, Edgar Nunez

Patent number: 11295071Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for creating and linking a series of interfaces configured to display information and receive confirmation of classifications made by a natural language modeling engine to improve organization of a collection of documents into an hierarchical structure. In some embodiments, the interfaces may display to an annotator a plurality of labels of potential classifications for a document as identified by a natural language modeling engine, collect annotated responses from the annotator, aggregate the annotated responses across other annotators, analyze the accuracy of the natural language modeling engine based on the aggregated annotated responses, and predict accuracies of the natural language modeling engine's classifications of the documents.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: 100.co, LLCInventors: Robert J. Munro, Christopher Walker, Sarah K. Luger, Jason Brenier, Paul A. Tepper, Ross Mechanic, Andrew Gilchrist-Scott, Gary C. King, Brendan D. Callahan, Tyler J. Schnoebelen, Edgar Nunez, Haley Most

Publication number: 20210232762Abstract: Systems are presented for generating a natural language model. The system may comprise a database module, an application program interface (API) module, a background processing module, and an applications module, each stored on the at least one memory and executable by the at least one processor. The system may be configured to generate the natural language model by: ingesting training data, generating a hierarchical data structure, selecting a plurality of documents among the training data to be annotated, generating an annotation prompt for each document configured to elicit an annotation about said document, receiving the annotation based on the annotation prompt, and generating the natural language model using an adaptive machine learning process configured to determine patterns among the annotations for how the documents in the training data are to be subdivided according to the at least two topical nodes of the hierarchical data structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Applicant: Al IP INVESTMENTS LTDInventors: Robert J.

Patent number: 10292001Abstract: A method is disclosed for issuing audio alerts within the cabin of a vehicle. The method may include detecting a condition programmatically assigned an audio alert and a virtual source for the audio alert. The method may further include determining, by the computer system based on the virtual source, a gain value for each speaker of a plurality of speakers carried in fix positions onboard the vehicle. Once the gain value for each speaker of the plurality of speak is known, the audio alert may be projected by each speaker of the plurality of speakers according to the gain value determined therefor.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2017Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Alexander Groh, Benjamin Vondersaar, Edgar Nunez, Prabhanjan Kadepurkar, Matthew Dage
