Abstract: A method for configuring an automated dialogue system uses traces of interactions via a graphical user interface (GUI) for an application. Each trace includes interactions in the context of a plurality of presentations of the GUI. Elements of one or more presentations of the GUI are identified, and templates are associated with portions of the trace. Each template has one or more defined inputs and a defined output. For each template of the plurality of templates, the portions of the traces are processed to automatically configure the template by specifying a procedure for providing values of inputs to the template via the GUI and obtaining a value of an output. The automated dialogue system is configured with the configured templates, thereby avoiding manual configuration of the dialogue system.

Abstract: A method for generating training data for training a natural language processing system comprises loading, into a computer memory, a computer-readable transcript representing an ordered sequence of one or more dialogue events. The method further comprises acquiring a computer-readable command describing an exemplary ordered subsequence of one or more dialogue events from the computer-readable transcript. The method further comprises re-parametrizing the computer-readable command with an alternative semantic parameter. The method further comprises generating an alternative ordered subsequence of one or more dialogue events based on the re-parametrized computer-readable command. The method further comprises outputting, to a data store, an alternative computer-readable transcript including the alternative ordered subsequence of one or more dialogue events, the alternative computer-readable transcript having a predetermined format usable to train the computerized assistant.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for reserving airspace for UAV operations. In some implementations, a flight planning system can reserve and allocate airspace for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations. For example, a UAV operator device can submit a flight plan to the flight planning system. The flight planning system can submit a flight authorization request to an airspace management system to reserve airspace necessary for the flight plan. The flight planning system can receive approval and/or a reservation of the airspace for the flight plan from the airspace management system, generate a flight data package, and send the flight data package to the operator's device.

Abstract: An automated natural dialogue system provides a combination of structure and flexibility to allow for ease of annotation of dialogues as well as learning and expanding the capabilities of the dialogue system based on natural language interactions.

Abstract: Geospatial data can be converted into audio outputs. For example, a system can receive a dataset indicating geospatial locations of objects within a region. Based on the dataset, the system can generate a virtual map representing the region and including virtual points representing the objects. The virtual points can be spatially positioned at locations in the virtual map corresponding to the geospatial locations of the objects in the region. The system can receive a user input via a user input device for interacting with a particular virtual point among the virtual points in the virtual map. The system can determine one or more sound characteristics for a sound based on receiving the user input. The system can then transmit an audio signal to an audio device for causing the audio device to generate the sound having the one or more sound characteristics, which may assist with exploring the virtual map.

Abstract: An insert mounted in a mixing cup and used by an automated chemical analyzer for removing a targeted component of a liquid sample includes a porous matrix formed of or carrying in an immobilized state functionalized particles having properties such that the targeted component of the liquid sample adheres to the functionalized particles. When the liquid sample is expelled from a disposable tip fitted on the end of a pipette forming part of the automated chemical analyzer into the mixing cup, the liquid sample is drawn into the matrix of the insert by capillary action, whereupon the targeted component of the liquid sample adheres to the immobilized functionalized particles of the matrix.

Abstract: A method, comprising recognizing a user utterance for processing. The method further comprises using a previously-trained code-generation machine to generate, from the user utterance, a data-flow program configured to produce a return value upon successful execution. The method further comprises beginning execution of the data-flow program. Responsive to reaching an error condition resulting from execution of the data-flow program, the method further comprises, prior to the data-flow program producing the return value, suspending execution of the data flow program. The method further comprises using the previously-trained code-generation machine to generate an error-handling data-flow program, wherein the error-handling data-flow program is configured to produce the return value; beginning execution of the error-handling data-flow program to produce the return value; and outputting the return value.

Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure provide for unmarshalling objects from a back-end server graph database as they would be available in local memory at a client device. An apparatus is provided that comprises a memory and a processing device to inspect a graph model associated with an object comprising a plurality of node data structures. The graph model defines one or more services provided by each node of the object. Using a graph database, graph data elements are identified for at least one node data structure of the object in view of the inspected graph model. Metadata that describes the object associated with the inspected graph mode is generated. Thereupon, the metadata is provided to reconstruct using the graph data elements the one or more services associated with the object at a client device.

Abstract: A system for updating training data includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a set of vehicle data. The set of vehicle data includes images and assigned labels associated with the images. The processor is configured to determine a set of training data and a set of test data from the set of vehicle data; train a model with the set of training data; determine a set of predicted labels for the set of vehicle data using the model; identify a set of potential mislabeled data using the set of predicted labels and the assigned labels; and determine an updated set of training data by relabeling the set of potential mislabeled data and replacing the set of potential mislabeled data with a relabeled set of data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for assessing reliability and trustworthiness of devices across domains. Attestation information for an attester node in a first domain is received at a verifier gateway in the first domain. The attestation information is translated at the verifier gateway into translated attestation information for a second domain. Specifically, the attestation information is translated into translated attested information for a second domain that is a different administrative domain from the first domain. The translated attestation information can be provided to a verifier in the second domain. The verifier can be configured to verify the trustworthiness of the attester node for a relying node in the second domain by identifying a level of trust of the attester node based on the translated attestation information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring information-security coverage to identify a vulnerability or risk in the information-security coverage. An information-security system can include computing systems, databases, a security server, etc. that can communicate data via a network. The server can be used to obtain data indicating a process for managing or monitoring information-security in the system and data indicating activity on the network, computing systems, server, or databases. The server then determines a metric based on the obtained data and the metric can indicate a risk or vulnerability in information-security coverage in the system. The server can then aggregate the data and transmit the aggregated data to a computing device. The computing device can generate an interface for outputting data for monitoring information-security coverage or identifying a vulnerability or risk in information-security coverage, which can improve the security of the information-security system.
