  • Patent number: 11899675
    Abstract: A machine reading comprehension system (MRCS) can analyze a larger-sized document that includes multiple pages to predict an answer to a query. For example, the document can have two, five, tens, or hundreds of pages. The MRCS divides the document into multiple sections with each section including a portion of the document. Each section is processed separately by one or more processing circuitries to determine a score for that section. The score indicates how related the section is to the query and/or a probability that the section provides a possible answer to the query. Once all of the sections have been analyzed, the sections are ranked by their scores and a subset of the ranked sections are processed again to determine a predicted answer to the query.

  • Patent number: 11833422
    Abstract: This document relates to techniques for addressing disruptions that prevent applications from receiving user input, prevent users from providing input to an application, and/or prevents or impacts users from receiving application output. One example method involves detecting a disruption to an interactive application during interaction by a user with the interactive application, generating automated user inputs, and providing the automated user inputs to the interactive application during the disruption to the interactive application.

  • Patent number: 11042357
    Abstract: A server, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for ranking a plurality of data sources are provided. The server includes a network interface, a memory storage unit and a processor. The method involves sending a test message, monitoring an external network for a response to the test message, determining whether a service level is satisfied and adjusting the rank of the data source. The non-transitory computer readable medium is encoded with programming instructions to direct a processor to carry out the method.

  • Publication number: 20170154073
    Abstract: A system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for retrieving data in response to an input query is provided. The system includes a first data server configured to generate a query based on the input query and a second data server configured to generate a another query based on the input query. The system also includes a master server in communication with the data servers. The method involves generating queries based on the input query and sending the queries to data sources. The method also involves determining if data records represent the same external entity and combining data records to store. The non-transitory computer readable medium is encoded with codes to direct a processor to carry out the method.
