  • Publication number: 20200029182
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for leveraging an online semantic processor to generate a finite state machine to be delivered to and implemented on a resource-constrained device. In various implementations, a user request may be received by a personal assistant module. Data indicative of the user request may be uploaded, e.g., by the personal assistant module, to an online semantic processor. Data may be received, e.g., by the personal assistant module, from the online semantic processor. The received data may represent a state machine having a plurality of candidate states of the personal assistant module. Each candidate state may be potentially responsive to the request. Resources local to the resource-constrained device may be analyzed to ascertain signal(s) unavailable to the online semantic processor. The personal assistant module may then transition to a given state of the plurality of candidate states. The given state may be selected based on the signal(s).

  • Publication number: 20190228105
    Abstract: A system presents content to a website user based on a predicted future intent of the user. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are developed based on a hierarchical and relational graph of a website. Given a sequence of observed actions performed by a user on the website, a HMM can be used to predict a likely intent the user has most recently acted on. Using a deterministic algorithm or a Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm, the system can then predict likelihoods that each possible user intent associated with the website is a future intent of the particular user. Website content and formatting can be adjusted based on predictions about a user's future intents.
