Abstract: A computer-implemented method of responding to a conversational event. The method comprises enacting, by a conversational computing interface, an initial computer-executable plan based on a conversational event received by the conversational computing interface, wherein the initial computer-executable plan is configured to output an initial value based on the conversational event. The method further comprises selecting, by the conversational computing interface, an extended computer-executable plan based on determining that the initial value is insufficient for generating an extended description responsive to the conversational event. The method further comprises enacting, by the conversational computing interface, the extended computer-executable plan to output additional information beyond what the initial computer-executable plan is configured to output, the additional information sufficient for generating the extended description responsive to the conversational event.

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.

Abstract: A method for a dialogue system includes establishing a dialogue session between an application executing on a server and a remote machine. The dialogue session includes one or more utterances received from a user at the remote machine. A natural language processing machine identifies a request associated with a computer-readable representation of an utterance. A dialogue expansion machine generates a plurality of alternative actions for responding to the request. A previously-trained machine learning confidence model assesses a confidence score for each alternative. If a highest confidence score for a top alternative does not satisfy a threshold, the plurality of alternatives including the top alternative are transmitted to a remote machine (which may be the same remote machine or a different remote machine) for review by a human reviewer. After the dialogue system and/or the human reviewer select an alternative, computer-readable instructions defining the selected alternative are executed.
