  • Patent number: 10885278
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for improved generation and control of conversations. A computing device is utilized to control or simulate conversation using estimated contextual cues extracted from profile information or prior responses. The computing device is configured to automatically tailor a flow of a conversation to an effort to improve relevancy and engagement without the need of a human operator to manually tailor the conversation, which, for example, could be impractically expensive. A structured workflow is maintained in the form of a series of conversation decisions, and a machine learning engine is utilized to maintain a continuously trained data structure that generates predictions that bias conversation decisions (e.g., by weighting tree options) for tailoring the conversation flow.

  • Patent number: 4169284
    Abstract: The disclosure enables concurrent access to a cache by main storage and a processor by means of a cache control which provides two cache access timing cycles during each processor storage request cycle. The cache is accessible to the processor during one of the cache timing cycles and is accessible to main storage during the other cache timing cycle. No alternately accessible modules, buffering, delay, or interruption is provided for main storage line transfers to the cache.
