Patent number: 11489793Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to model when authoritative responses are expected to be received in real-time chat dialogues to facilitate monitoring a live real-time chat and connect a participant to provide an authoritative answer at an appropriate time during the live real-time chat. Historical real-time chat dialogues are used to generate a model for when authoritative responses are expected in real-time chats. A live real-time chat is monitored for an ongoing discussion without an authoritative response, and a response latency window of the model for the live real-time chat is adjusted based on the ongoing discussion in the live real-time chat. In some embodiments, upon entering an optimal window of the ongoing discussion of the live real-time chat indicated by the model where it is determined that no authoritative response is yet received, a new participant is connected to the live real-time chat to provide an authoritative response.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul R. Bastide, Jonathan D. Dunne

Patent number: 11475226Abstract: In response to determining that a native language of a first user is different from a target language of a message to be transmitted by the first user to a second user, a translation model based on a plurality of language efficacies of the first user is created. An optimal action associated with a translation of the message from the native language to the target language is determined based on the created model and a language efficacy of the first user in the native language. The determined optimal action is performed. The message translation comprising the performed optimal action is transmitted to the second user.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mary D.

Patent number: 11461586Abstract: Providing learned interactions in a virtual reality or augmented reality (collectively, a computer-mediated reality) can include determining a probable physical action of a user interacting with a computer-mediated reality (CMR) environment. A learned interaction corresponding to the probable physical action can be generated based on a CMR-physical action (CMRPA) model that correlates physical actions with results of the physical actions in a CMR scenario of the CMR environment. In response to determining, based on at least one identified characteristic of the user, a statistical likelihood of benefiting the user by providing the learned interaction, a learned interaction corresponding to the probable physical action can be provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jeremy R.

Patent number: 11455461Abstract: Self-executing document revision includes creating a current version of an electronic rendering of a collaborative document based on input received from a user via a communicative coupling with a data communications network. The current version's relevancy is determined by a self-executing document revisor and compared with the relevancy of a prior version of the collaborative document. In response to determining the relevancy of the current version is less than the relevancy of the prior version, one or more segments of one or more electronically stored versions of the collaborative document are selected based on a relevancy of each of the one or more segments, the relevancy of each determined by the self-executing document revisor. The self-executing document revisor generates a graphical representation of a revised version of the collaborative document by merging the one or more segments selected with the current version of the collaborative document.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Zachary A.

Patent number: 11449683Abstract: Disentanglement of chat utterances is provided. An analysis of the linguistic collocations and the keywords of the multiple chat utterances and amount of contribution by respective chat users of the plurality of chat users to the multiple chat utterances is performed to determine a level of drift of the linguistic collocations, the keywords, and respective chat users over a course of the multiple chat utterances. Chat utterance entanglement of prior chat utterances is determined using determined level of drift based on the analysis by inferring keyword usage over time and how these keywords are related over the course of the multiple chat utterances. The prior chat utterances related to a particular topic are disentangled by removing certain chat utterances that have a statistically significant level of drift from that particular topic. Removed chat utterances are arranged as a new chat discourse related to a different topic in the chat conversation.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Zachary A.
