  • Publication number: 20240221731
    Abstract: Example methods include determining an input prompt comprising an utterance labeled with a sequence of slot-value pairs, wherein the sequence of slot-value pairs indicates possible slots and values in the utterance, and wherein the utterance relates to a task. The methods include determining a contextual representation comprising a concatenation of a history of utterances exchanged between a user and a service agent. The utterances describe a context for the task. The methods include training, based on a concatenation of the input prompt and the contextual representation, a sequence-to-sequence language model to predict a sequence of dialog states for an input task. The sequence of dialog states comprise an assignment of values to slots for which the user has indicated a preference in dialog sequences. The methods include providing the trained sequence-to-sequence language model.

  • Publication number: 20240220732
    Abstract: Example methods include determining an input schema representation for a task. The schema representation comprises natural language descriptions of slot and intent descriptions, wherein respective indices are associated with each of the slot descriptions and each of the intent descriptions. The methods include determining a contextual representation comprising a concatenation of a history of dialog sequences exchanged between a user and a service agent, wherein the dialog sequences describe a context for the task. The methods include training, a sequence-to-sequence language model and based on a concatenation of the input schema representation and the contextual representation, to predict a sequence of dialog states for an input task, wherein the sequence of dialog states comprises an assignment of values to slots for which the user has indicated a preference in dialog sequences corresponding to the input task. The methods include providing the trained sequence-to-sequence language model.

  • Patent number: 10330213
    Abstract: Provided is an electromechanical-linkage hydraulic control gate valve actuator. The actuator includes a hand-operated speed-increasing gearbox assembly and a bidirectional throttle valve. In the present invention, a motor is driven to rotate through the hand-operated speed-increasing gearbox and thus a hydraulic system is driven to finally open and close a gate valve. An opening and closing speeds of the gate valve can be regulated and controlled through the bidirectional throttle valve. The present invention drives the motor through the hand-operated speed-increasing gearbox under emergency conditions such as repair and power failure, thereby controlling to open and close the gate valve. Meanwhile, a hydraulic system respectively regulates the speeds of two states of opening and closing through a bidirectional throttling technique, so as to effectively eliminate a water hammer phenomenon. The present invention has simple structure, light weight and modular installation, and enhances safety and reliability.
