Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program embodiments for an improved spiking neural network (SNN) configured to learn and perform unsupervised, semi-supervised, and supervised extraction of features from an input dataset. An embodiment operates by receiving a modification request to modify a base neural network, having N layers and a plurality of spiking neurons, trained using a primary training dataset. The base neural network is modified to include supplementary spiking neurons in the Nth or N + 1th layer of the base neural network. The embodiment includes receiving a secondary training dataset and determining membrane potential values of one or more supplementary spiking neurons in the Nth or Nth + 1 layer which learn features based on secondary training data set to select a supplementary/winning spiking neuron. The embodiment performs a learning function for the modified neural network based on the winning spiking neuron.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for proactively enriching content of electronic communications through predicting user intents. User-composed content within an electronic communication is observed and used to predict one or more intents each associated with a task related to the communication and to be completed in creating the communication. Task-queries may be generated based on the detected intents and entities extracted from the user-composed content, contextual information, or other information related to the user, such as a user-knowledge database. User selection of a suggested task-query automatically executes the task-query, and the results are provided to the user. Each result may include an action involving adding content to or supplementing the content of the electronic communication. A conversational digital assistant may further be invoked to interact with the user to confirm and/or modify suggested task-queries and results of selected task-queries.

Abstract: A process for a continuous production of a polyetherol first involves reacting a catalyst (5) with an alcohol starter (3) or an alkoxylated precursor, to give a mixture comprising an alcoholate and water. Water is then removed from the mixture. The process further involves feeding the alcoholate into a bubble column and feeding an alkylene oxide into the bottom of a compartment of the bubble column, such that the alkylene oxide rises in the alcoholate. The alkylene oxide then reacts with the alcoholate or a secondary product from the reaction between the alcoholate and alkylene oxide, to give the polyetherol.
