  • Patent number: 11074484
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, computer system and computer program product are provided for transferring in a BOT conversation. According to the method, a user input is received, by a device operatively coupled to one or more processing units, from a user. A first response from a conversation BOT responding to the user input is obtained by the device. The first response is evaluated by the device according to configured rules to determine whether a human agent is needed, wherein the evaluation according to at least one of the configured rules is carried out by a trained engine of a reinforcement learning model. Finally, responding to determine the human agent is needed, a transferring recommendation is sent to the user by the device.

  • Publication number: 20210222152
    Abstract: Methods of extracting chromatin from tissue, such as formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue, are provided. The methods are rapid, simple, and preserve the chromatin signature. The methods can include, for example, removal of the tissue from the paraffin, enzymatic digestion of the extracellular matrix, and exposure to ultrasound energy, optionally in the presence of a cavitation enhancement agent, such as microbubbles, nanobubbles, and/or phase-change nanodroplets. The methods can also include a mechanical tissue dissociation step. The methods provide chromatin fragments that are free of enzyme bias from fragmentation by enzymes such as micrococcal nuclease (MNase) and that are of optimal size for further quantification and/or identification. Kits for extracting chromatin from tissue are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20210141862
    Abstract: In embodiments, a reusable and adaptive multi-task orchestration dialogue system orchestrates a set of single-task dialogue systems to provide multi-scenario dialogue processing. In embodiments, for each question propounded by a user, using a deep learning predictive model, a best single-task dialogue system is chosen out of the set. In embodiments, multi-task orchestration is done without the need to change, or even understand, the inner workings or mechanisms of the individual single-task dialogue systems in the set. Moreover, the multi-task orchestration is also unconcerned with what rules are set in each individual single-task dialogue system. In embodiments, prior to selection of the best single-task dialogue system to return the best answer, new intents and entities are discovered and used to update an existing dialogue path. In embodiments, additional data is continually collected, and used to retrain model so as to further improve performance.

  • Publication number: 20200393563
    Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) weather display systems and methods are provided. The system receives real-time 3D weather data from a 3D weather radar system along with other sensor data external or internal and stores the received data in the memory buffer. The system is configured to receive spatial and temporal weather replay requests, and responsive to a weather replay request, extracts time-stamped 3D weather data from the memory buffer to construct a weather data loop that is a function of the weather replay request. The system generates display instructions to render the weather data loop, as a simultaneously and continuously replaying overlay, on the display of the real-time 3D weather data. A display device renders the weather data loop in accordance with the instructions.

  • Publication number: 20200339662
    Abstract: Fibronectin type III (10Fn3) binding domains having novel designs that are associated with reduced immunogenicity are provided. The application describes alternative 10Fn3 binding domains in which certain immunogenic regions are not modified when producing a binder in order to maintain recognition as a self antigen by the host organism. The application also describes 10Fn3 binding domains in which HLA anchor regions have been destroyed thereby reducing the immunogenic contribution of the adjoining region. Also provided are 10Fn3 domains having novel combinations of modified regions that can bind to a desired target with high affinity.
