  • Patent number: 11580968
    Abstract: Techniques are described for a contextual natural language understanding (cNLU) framework that is able to incorporate contextual signals of variable history length to perform joint intent classification (IC) and slot labeling (SL) tasks. A user utterance provided by a user within a multi-turn chat dialog between the user and a conversational agent is received. The user utterance and contextual information associated with one or more previous turns of the multi-turn chat dialog is provided to a machine learning (ML) model. An intent classification and one or more slot labels for the user utterance are then obtained from the ML model. The cNLU framework described herein thus uses, in addition to a current utterance itself, various contextual signals as input to a model to generate IC and SL predictions for each utterance of a multi-turn chat dialog.

  • Patent number: 11556969
    Abstract: A method of propagating annotations of content items to a search query is disclosed. A strength of a correspondence between a search query and a listing of an item on a network-based publication system is determined. The strength of the correspondence is based on an analysis of a set of actions by a set of users who submitted the search query. A set of annotations is generated. The set of annotations is propagated to a search engine and used to enhance search results.

  • Patent number: 11392778
    Abstract: In a flow of computer actions, a computer system (110) receives a request involving a machine translation. In performing the translation (160, 238), or in using the translation in subsequent computer operations (242, 1110), the computer system takes into account known statistical relationships (310), obtained from previously accumulated click-through data (180), between a machine translation performed in a flow, the flow's portions preceding the translation, and success indicators pertaining to the flow's portion following the translation. The statistical relationships are derived by data mining of the click-through data. Further, normal actions can be suspended to use a random option to accumulate the click-through data and/or perform statistical AB testing. Other features are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10891673
    Abstract: A semantic analysis can be performed to determine an intent of a received query. The intent can relate to a primary object of the query, which can be identified through the semantic analysis. Other attributes can be determined from the query that help to focus the object of the intent. A query vector is generated, based on the intent and primary object, and used to search a multi-dimensional semantic space including semantic representations of possible matches. The attributes are used to adjust the query vector in the semantic space. Objects having vectors ending proximate the query vector are identified as potential search results, with the distance from the query vector being used as a ranking mechanism. If refinement is needed, a dialog is used to obtain additional information from the user. Once results are obtained with sufficient confidence, results can be returned as search results for the query.

  • Patent number: 10650442
    Abstract: Information is provided a user of a mobile device. Media content is sensed by the mobile device and sent to an information processing server. The information processing server also obtains media content from another source and associates at least a portion of the obtained media content with a product or service offer. The sensed media content is correlated to the obtained media content such that an associated buy or service offer is selected. The buy or service offer is sent to the mobile device for display to the user.
