Publication number: 20250086895Abstract: Techniques for modifying data within a virtual space are discussed herein. A communication platform may receive a request from a user profile associated with a virtual space. The request may include instruction(s) for the communication platform to perform a modifying operation on data within a virtual space. Based on receiving the request, the communication platform may identify the data on which the operation is to be performed. The communication platform may input the data to one or more machine-learning models trained to output data that is a modified version of the data input to the machine-learning model (e.g., modified data). In such cases, the modified data may be modified consistent with the requested operation. The communication platform may receive the modified data from the machine-learning model and cause the modified data to be displayed via a user interface associated with the user profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: Melissa Aubrie Chan, Nikhil Rao, Kevin Zhang, David Barrett-Kahn, Michael Hahn

Publication number: 20240427581Abstract: Analyzing or debugging applications is provided. The system identifies an action for an application provided by a developer. The system determines a first classification score based on historical execution of the action. The system generates a machine generated action for the application based on metadata associated with the application. The system determines a second classification score based on a comparison of the action with the machine generated action. The system selects, via a matching program, a second application that matches the application. The system determines a third classification score based on a comparison of an action approved for the second application with the action provided by the application developer. The system updates a delivery control parameter based on the first classification score, the second classification score and the third classification score. The system controls delivery of the application based on the delivery control parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2024Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Yan Huang, Nikhil Rao, Owen Lin, Ilya Firman, Anil Iyer

Publication number: 20240402988Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to a data processing system to determine operational statuses of agents interfacing with digital assistant applications. The data processing system can access a log database. The log database can maintain response metrics for an agent service. Each response metric can correspond to a response by the agent service to a request generated by a digital assistant application responsive to an input audio signal. The data processing system can transmit a ping request to the agent service and can wait for a second response from the agent service. The data processing system can determine an operational status of the agent service based on the response metrics and on a time elapsed since the transmission of the ping request. The data processing system can cause the digital assistant application to perform an action based on the operational status.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Quazi Hussain, Nikhil Rao

Publication number: 20240221747Abstract: Validating actions in a digital assistant-based application is provided. The system identifies an application with a conversational interface. The system selects an action from an action repository and generates, via a natural language processor, a trigger phrase for input into the application. The system executes the application to process the trigger phrase to identify an action of the application. The system identifies a parameter used by the application to execute the action, and generates, based on the parameter and via execution of the conversational interface of the application, a first query responsive to the trigger phrase. The system generates a first response to the first query for input into the application. The system determines, based on execution of the application to process the first response, a state of the application. The system evaluates the state to determine an error code and provide a notification based on the error code.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2024Publication date: July 4, 2024Inventors: Dharma Muppalla, Nikhil Rao

Patent number: 11674133Abstract: Methods and compositions for extracting nucleic acids such as microRNAs (miRNAs) from biological samples are provided. Aspects of the methods include contacting a biological sample with proteinase K followed by contact with ferric oxide particles under acidic conditions to induce binding between the ferric oxide particles and nucleic acids (e.g., miRNAs) of the sample. In some cases, the ferric oxide particles are provided as part of a dissolvable film, which releases the ferric oxide particles upon solvation. In some embodiments, after nucleic acids bind to the ferric oxide particles, the particles are magnetically separated from the sample and are contacted with an alkaline elution buffer to release the nucleic acids.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: Eric P.
