Abstract: Techniques are described for invoking and switching between chatbots of a chatbot system. In some embodiments, the chatbot system is capable of routing an utterance received while a user is already interacting with a first chatbot in the chatbot system. For instance, the chatbot system may identify a second chatbot based on determining that (i) such an utterance is an invalid input to the first chatbot or (ii) that the first chatbot is attempting to route the utterance to a destination associated with the first chatbot. Identifying the second chatbot can involve computing, using a predictive model, separate confidence scores for the first chatbot and the second chatbot, and then determining that a confidence score for the second chatbot satisfies one or more confidence score thresholds. The utterance is then routed to the second chatbot based on the identifying of the second chatbot.

The resulting titanium alloy is more suitable for use as a medical implant material.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a display screen, a deformation driving part and a camera module. The display screen includes a first region and a second region which are connected, a display surface of the first region is a first plane, a portion of the second region is a deformable region, the deformation driving part drives the deformable region to be switched between a flattening state and a bending state. When the deformable region is in the flattening state, a display surface of the deformable region is a second plane located within the same plane with the first plane. When the deformable region is in the bending state, the deformable region is a curved surface, a light transmitting region is arranged in the deformable region. When the deformable region is in the flattening state, ambient light passing through the light transmitting region is projected to the camera module.
