  • Patent number: 11817100
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of voice-to-text tagging for transcription of a human voice signal by one of an automatic speech recognition system, or a natural conversation, includes generating a speech-to-text verbal transcript of the verbal vocalizations of an audio signal at a verbal timestamp of the audio signal. A voice-to-text non-verbal transcript of the one or more non-verbal vocalizations of the audio signal is generated at a non-verbal timestamp of the audio signal. The non-verbal transcript and the verbal transcript are combined to generate an enhanced transcript.

  • Publication number: 20230214601
    Abstract: Techniques for personalizing an AI automated conversational system are provided. In one aspect, a method for personalizing an automated conversational system includes: making predictions of a familiarity of a user with concepts needed to understand a standard output utterance based on the familiarity of an aggregate of users and a background knowledge model of the concepts and related concepts, wherein the standard output utterance assumes that the concepts are known; and giving, by the automated conversational system, an output utterance that is tailored to the user given the predictions. For instance, the automated conversational system can give the standard output utterance to the user when it is predicted that the user is familiar with the concepts, or a nonstandard output utterance when it is it is predicted that the user is unfamiliar with at least one of the concepts.

  • Publication number: 20220391044
    Abstract: A tool for providing dynamic context-based presentation adjustments across one or more computer devices. The tool receives a presentation from at least one of a plurality of user devices. The tool collects real-time contextual data associated with the presentation from at least one of the plurality of user devices. The tool analyzes the real-time contextual data utilizing a training model. The tool determines one or more adjustment actions based, at least in part, on the analysis of the real-time contextual data. The tool modifies the presentation in real-time using the one or more adjustment actions.

  • Patent number: 11269835
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, is used to creating customized templates and template recommendations. The computer-implemented method includes: extracting text content from user information which corresponds to a user, and using the text content extracted from the user information to generate feature vectors. The feature vectors are further used to form one or more clusters of existing user editions. For each of the one or more formed clusters, a tree structure is generated for each user edition in the cluster. Moreover, the tree structures in the cluster are combined into a merged tree structure. A customized template is generated for each of the one or more formed clusters using the respective merged tree structure, and at least one of the customized templates is recommended to the user based on the user information.

  • Patent number: 11211049
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method including receiving authoring conversational training data. A machine learning based conversational agent is trained with the conversational training data. The training includes: creating and storing example transcripts of user utterances, creating and storing example transcripts of agent utterances, sequencing utterance transcripts using the example transcripts of user utterances and the example transcripts of agent utterances, forming a corpus from the sequenced utterance transcripts, marking speech patterns that represent social actions from tagging the sequenced utterance transcripts, and forming a patterned corpus from the marked speech patterns.
