  • Publication number: 20210173873
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for computerized technical support. A knowledge graph for a computer application is established. An input query from a user is processed to extract entities used as action identifiers. One or more nodes within the knowledge graph are identified, along with corresponding relationship edges leading to the nodes. When multiple candidate nodes are found that contain information relevant to the input query, a custom clarification statement is created based on the one or more identified relationship edges. The user provides answers to the clarification statement to narrow down which nodes contain the most relevant information. This process may continue, eliminating nodes based on user responses, until a single node remains, corresponding to an action identifier. The action identifier includes action description information that provides technical assistance to a user.

  • Publication number: 20210166077
    Abstract: A gamified application is provided for users to feed animated virtual characters with images of real-world food items. The images fed to the virtual characters are to be uploaded to a data store in a cloud environment, for use in training a custom machine learning model. In one embodiment, a server in a cloud environment receives a photo of a food item fed to a virtual character in an augmented reality environment in the gamified application executing on a user device, invokes the custom machine learning model or a set of image recognition APIs to generate classification information for the photo, sends the classification information to the user device for verification by a user, and stores the verified information to the data store used for periodically training the machine learning model. Over time, the data store would include a large volume of food images with label data verified by a large number of users.

  • Publication number: 20210103750
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to processing irregularly arranged characters. An image is received. An irregularly arranged character within the image is detected. A direction of the irregularly arranged character is modified to a proper direction to obtain a properly oriented character. The properly oriented character is recognized to obtain a first identified character. The image is then rebuilt by replacing the irregularly arranged character with the first identified character, the first identified character in a machine-encoded format.
