  • Publication number: 20240419713
    Abstract: Systems and methods managing, by an orchestrator, a plurality of agents to generate a response to an input. The orchestrator employs one or more multimodal models such as a large language models to process or deconstruct the prompt into a series of instructions for different agents. Each agent employs one or more machine-learning models to process disparate inputs or different portions of an input associated with the prompt. The system generates, by the orchestrator, a natural language summary of the structured and unstructured data records. The system formulates output and transmits the natural language summary of the data records.

  • Publication number: 20240370709
    Abstract: An anti-hallucination and attribution architecture for enterprise generative AI systems is disclosed herein which increases the accuracy and reliability of generative artificial intelligence content (e.g., responses or answers) by detecting, preventing, and mitigating hallucination. The anti-hallucination and attribution architecture can be added to deployed generative artificial intelligence systems as a separate tool or module, which allows it to work with the deployed systems without having to retool or redesign those systems. The anti-hallucination and attribution architecture can also be deployed with minimal impact on live production systems.

  • Publication number: 20240202539
    Abstract: A plurality of different data domains of an enterprise information environment are scanned. A plurality of data records of multiple enterprise data sources of the different data domains are chunked. The chunking generates one or respective data record segments for each of the plurality of data records. Respective contextual metadata is generated for each of the one or more respective data record segments. Each respective contextual metadata indicates semantic or contextual descriptions of the respective data records segment, and at least one of the respective contextual metadata is capable of facilitating a determination of a relationship between one of the respective data record segments of a particular respective data record and another one the respective data segments of another respective data record. A respective segment embedding is generated for each data record segment based on the respective contextual metadata, and the segment embeddings are stored in an embeddings datastore.

  • Publication number: 20120008753
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of email processing within a multitenant unified communications environment includes receiving, at a first email system component that is a sub-component of a unified communications system, an email that is addressed to a recipient by way of a delivery address that includes a first domain identifier. Based at least in part on the delivery address, a second delivery address associated with the user is identified. The second delivery address does not include the first domain identifier but does include a second domain identifier that is different than the first domain identifier.

  • Patent number: 7894109
    Abstract: A method is provided for characterizing color separation misregistration of a printer device, the method including receiving from the printer device an output image having marked calibration patches having a variety of color separation configurations, each using a first and second color separation, and a marked measurement patch having a predetermined color separation configuration. Measured colorimetric values are received corresponding to the calibration patches and the marked measurement patch, and a characteristic of a curve associated with the measured colorimetric values corresponding to the calibration patches is determined. A calibration function is generated based on the determined characteristic of the curve, providing expected colorimetric values for the predetermined color separation configuration as related to a misregistration characteristic value.

  • Patent number: 7826095
    Abstract: A method and system for estimating color separation misregistration of a printing system. The method may include marking a substrate to form a misregistration estimation patch. The misregistration estimation patch being formed by first and second color separations. The first color separation marking the substrate with a first halftone pattern. The first halftone pattern has a first halftone-frequency vector in a first direction and a second halftone-frequency vector in a second direction. The second color separation marking the substrate with a second halftone pattern. The second halftone pattern has a first halftone-frequency vector in a first direction and a second halftone-frequency vector in a second direction. The first and second halftone patterns form a moiré pattern.
