  • Patent number: 11790894
    Abstract: A system uses conversation engines to process natural language requests and conduct automatic conversations with users. The system generates responses to users in an online conversation. The system ranks generated user responses for the online conversation. The system generates a context vector based on a sequence of utterances of the conversation and generates response vectors for generated user responses. The system ranks the user responses based on a comparison of the context vectors and user response vectors. The system uses a machine learning based model that uses a pretrained neural network that supports multiple languages. The system determines a context of an utterance based on utterances in the conversation. The system generates responses and ranks them based on the context. The ranked responses are used to respond to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230086302
    Abstract: A method that includes receiving an input at an interactive conversation service that uses an intent classification model. The method may further include generating, using an encoder model of the intent classification model, a set of output vectors corresponding to the input, where the encoder model is configured to determine a set of metrics corresponding to intent classifications. The method may further include determining, using an outlier detection model of the intent classification model, whether the input is in-domain or out-of-domain (OOD) based on a first vector of the set of output vectors satisfying a domain threshold relative to one or more of the intent classifications. The method may further include outputting, by the intent classification model, a second vector of the set of output vectors that indicates the set of metrics corresponding to the intent classifications or an indication that the input is OOD.

  • Patent number: 11580179
    Abstract: A method and system for recommending articles including: receiving a customer request from the customer during the session; generating case data for a case, by an article recommender app; configuring a training set based on the subject and description data of the customer request; identifying, by an artificial intelligence (AI) app, a first pool of articles from a knowledge database; identifying by at least one query, a second pool of articles from a case article database to into a merged pool of articles; assigning, by the AI app, an implicit label to one of the first pool and the second pool of the articles; applying a model derived by the AI app based on customer behavior and a set of features related to the case to classify each article of the merged pool of articles based at least in part on the predicted relevance of the article.

  • Patent number: 11544762
    Abstract: A system and related processing methodologies for recommending a product based on a work order are described. The system receives an input case description, including a current repair item and a current work type. Historical work orders associating a plurality of products with repair items and work types are searched for a co-occurrence of the repair item matching the current repair item, and the work type matching the current work type. Upon finding a match, the product associated with the match is added to a set of candidate products for the current work order. A similarity measure between the candidate product and current work order description, a current work type category, and popularity of the candidate product is generated and then used in the generation of a probability score for the candidate product and current work order. If the probability score meets a threshold, the candidate product is recommended.

  • Patent number: 11507617
    Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for extracting topics from a corpus of exchanges. The system generates vector representations of utterances of an entity common to the exchanges and uses the vector representations to cluster the utterances. The system labels the clusters and uses the labeled clusters to generate an exchange label sequence for each of the exchanges, where each exchange label sequence corresponds to a sequence of utterances generated by the entity. The system processes the exchange label sequences to generate one or more subsets of the utterances, where each of the subsets corresponds to a particular topic.

  • Publication number: 20220318669
    Abstract: A computing system may receive a corpus of training data including a plurality of data entity schemas. A first data entity of a first set of data entities corresponding to a first data entity schema is associated with a topic characteristic based on a first set of attributes defined by the first data entity schema, and a first attribute of the first set of attributes is associated with a structural characteristic that is common across each of the first set of data entities. The system may identify a respective attribute type identifier for each attribute of the first set, generate an attribute embedding for each attribute using the attribute value and the identifier, generate an entity embedding based on each attribute embedding and parameterize the topic characteristic for each data entity and the structural characteristic for each attribute.

  • Patent number: 11379671
    Abstract: A system is configured to analyze a corpus of historical chat data to identify the list of “best” responses. As such, the user is not required to identify a list of canned responses for input into the system. The described system uses a context word embedding function and response word embedding function to generate context vectors and response vectors corresponding to the corpus of conversation data, and the vectors are represented by a respective context matrix and a response matrix. The system processes these matrices to generate scores for responses, clusters the responses, and identifies the responses corresponding to the best scores for each cluster.
