Abstract: A system and method to provide computer support for a meeting of invitees comprises accessing one or more sensory data streams providing digitized sensory data responsive to an activity of one or more of the invitees during the meeting, the one or more sensory data streams including at least one audio stream. The method also comprises subjecting the at least one audio stream to phonetic and situational computer modeling to recognize a sequence of words in the audio stream and to assign each word to an invitee, subjecting the sequence of words to semantic computer modeling to recognize a sequence of directives in the sequence of words, and releasing one or more output data streams based on the sequence of directives, the one or more output data streams including one or more notifications.

Abstract: Techniques for enabling an artificial intelligence system to infer grounded intent from user input, and automatically suggest and/or execute actions associated with the predicted intent. In an aspect, core task descriptions are extracted from actionable statements identified as containing grounded intent. A machine classifier receives the core task description, actionable statements, and user input to predict an intent class for the user input. The machine classifier may be trained using unsupervised learning techniques based on weakly labeled clusters of the core task description extracted over a training corpus. The core task description may include verb-object pairs.

Abstract: Automatic extraction and application of conditional tasks from content is provided. A conditional task system includes a classifier that is trained and used to identify conditional tasks and to learn appropriate times and methods to engage a user for reminding the user about conditional tasks. The conditional task system includes components for enabling an automated detection of a conditional task, extracting of attributes that characterize a condition associated with the task, using information about the condition to determine how to monitor for satisfaction of the condition, determining when and how to engage the user about the task, and notifying the user at an appropriate time and using an appropriate method when the condition is satisfied.
