  • Patent number: 11756567
    Abstract: In an approach to generating conversational image representations, one or more computer processors detect one or more utterances by a user, wherein utterances are either textual or acoustic. The one or more computer processors generate one or more image representations of the one or more detected utterances utilizing a generative adversarial network restricted by one or more user privacy parameters, wherein the generative adversarial network is fed with an extracted sentiment, a generated avatar, an identified topic, an extracted location, and one or more user preferences. The one or more computer processors display the generated one or more image representations on one or more devices associated with respective one or more recipients of the one or more utterances.

  • Patent number: 11646013
    Abstract: In some examples, a user, either a customer or potential customer of a business, engages in conversations with a virtual assistant (VA) provided by the business. The virtual assistant (VA) is further supported by one or more human assistants (HA), if needed. In embodiments, to facilitate seamless transitions between a VA and a HA, when needed, an intelligent decision maker (IDM) is provided. The IDM receives a user question and a proposed answer to the question from a VA, evaluates the proposed answer in the context of the conversation, and determines if the proposed answer requires further review by an HA. In response to a determination that the proposed answer requires further review, the IDM sends the proposed answer to an HA, and, in response to an indication by the HA, takes further action in the conversation.

  • Publication number: 20220207234
    Abstract: A computer system, a computer program product, and a computer-implemented system are provided for leveraging a national language processing (NLP) system for dynamically generating natural language output data. A NLP module investigates text or communication data from one or more platforms and derives global characteristic data from the investigated data. The derived global characteristic data is subject to modulation with a captured local writing style corresponding to a captured relationship. Contextual information is dynamically identified. Real-time natural language output communication data is generated that incorporates communication dynamics from the modulated global characteristic data and the dynamically identified contextual information.

  • Patent number: 11276307
    Abstract: Location information associated with a parking area is received. Information about a plurality of vehicles parked in the parking area is determined. A first space located between a first parked vehicle and a first non-movable object located in front of the first parked vehicle is determined. The first space is comprised of a first required space and a first non-required space. A second space located between the first parked vehicle and a second non-movable object located behind the first parked vehicle is determined. The second space is comprised of a second required space and a second non-required space. Responsive to determining that the first non-required space is greater than the second non-required space, the first parked vehicle is moved towards the first space. After moving the first parked vehicle, the first space is equivalent to the first required space.

  • Patent number: 11237950
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method for quantifying tester sentiment. The computer-implemented method includes receiving a first feedback data from a first tester, where the first feedback data represents feedback generated by the first tester in connection with a first instance of a first software-under-development. The first feedback data is correlated to an aspect of the first instance of the first software-under-development to derive a tester sentiment data. The tester sentiment data is used to determine a tester sentiment rating of the first instance of the software-under-development. Based on the tester sentiment rating, a resource is applied to the first instance of the first software-under-development.

  • Patent number: 11235805
    Abstract: A method for providing adaptive vehicle-proximity guidance may include monitoring transit-condition data of a roadway traversed by a user-vehicle. The method may further include determining, based at least in part on the transit-condition data, a proximity zone. The method may further include generating a first visual representation that corresponds to the proximity zone. The method may further include displaying the first visual representation onto the roadway proximate the proximity zone and updating the first visual representation in response to detected changes in the transit-condition data.

  • Patent number: 11195402
    Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system warn workers of a hazardous condition on a worksite. The method includes determining at least one outcome involving a worker and at least one worksite object based on conditions of the worksite. The method includes predicting whether a select one of the at least one outcome presents a hazardous condition to the worker. As a result of predicting that the select outcome presents the hazardous condition, the method includes transmitting a signal to a device associated with the worker. The signal triggers a warning to be received by the worker where the device is in a proximity of the worker.

  • Patent number: 10942941
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes detecting, using a processor system, a first delay in a conversation system. Initial contextual data is received at a first orchestration layer of the processor system, where the initial contextual data describes a context of a user. The first orchestration layer queries a first data source, based on the initial contextual data. Based on querying the first data source, the first orchestration layer augments the initial contextual data to determine updated contextual data describing the context of the user. Filler content personalized to the user is generated based on the updated contextual data describing the context of the user. The filler content is presented through a user interface during the first delay, responsive to detecting the first delay in the conversation system.

  • Patent number: 10902082
    Abstract: A caching method, system, and computer program product include compiling a combined action of a social interaction with a sharing of an object via a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in real-time and from an offline database, extracting semantic information from the combined action, describing the semantic information of the combined action as an embedding of the object in a general object vector space, and creating a caching policy for access to the object based on a prediction of an access time derived from the general object vector space and the description of the combined action.
