  • Patent number: 11963065
    Abstract: Described herein are examples of a system that processes information describing movement of a vehicle at a time related to a potential collision to reliably determine whether a collision occurred and/or one or more characteristics of the collision. In response to obtaining information regarding a potential collision, data describing movement of the vehicle before and/or after a time associated with the potential collision is analyzed to determine whether the collision occurred and/or to determine one or more collision characteristic(s). The analysis may be carried out at least in part using a trained classifier that classifies the vehicle movement data into one or more classes, where at least some the classes are associated with whether a collision occurred and/or one or more characteristics of a collision. If a collision is determined to be likely, one or more actions may be triggered based on the characteristic(s) of the collision.

  • Patent number: 11657810
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for routing queries to answer resources based on component parts and intents of a received query is provided. The method receives a query from a user. The query is analyzed to identify a set of entities associated with the query and generate an utterance representing the query. The method generates an intent classification for the utterance and a vector for the query. The vector is generated based on the set of entities, the utterance, and the intent classification. The method determines an answer resource for the query based on the vector and the intent classification of the query. In response to determining the answer resource, the method provides an answer interface based on the query, the vector, and the intent classification. The answer interface dynamically provides a response to the query.

  • Patent number: 11477142
    Abstract: In an approach for identifying when transferring a real-time conversation on a chatbot application to a customer support agent would be more valuable than outputting suggested queries, a processor classifies a query inputted into a real-time conversation as an intention. A processor predicts a set of next intentions of the user. A processor filters out one or more intentions from the set of next intentions of the user that do not further the real-time conversation. A processor generates a set of suggested queries the user can ask to further the real-time conversation from the subset of next intentions. A processor builds a suggestion evaluation contextual bandit model that determines whether the real-time conversation will be resolved successfully if transferred to a customer support agent. A processor trains the suggestion evaluation contextual bandit model against a set of annotated historical interactions. A processor outputs a response recommendation.

  • Patent number: 11423157
    Abstract: An adversarial reinforcement learning system is used to simulate a security checkpoint. The system includes a simulation engine configured to simulate a security checkpoint and various threat objects and threat-mitigation objects therein. The system further includes an attack model configured to control threat objects in the simulation and a defense model configured to control threat-mitigation objects in the simulation. A first portion of the simulation is executed by the simulation engine in order to generate an outcome of the first portion of the simulation. The defense model then generates a threat-mitigation input to control threat-mitigation objects in a subsequent portion of the simulation, and the attack model then generates a threat input to control threat objects in the subsequent portion of the simulation, wherein the inputs are based in part on the outcome of the first portion of the simulation.
