Patent number: 10111064Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for converting smart cell phone applications to applications that operate on basic cell phones. The invention has a classifying process that classifies one or more functions of a cell phone application into those functions capable being performing by a basic cell phone and those functions, missing functions, that can not be performed by a basic cell phone. Substitute functions for the missing functions are developed. An emulator monitors the execution of the cell phone application and provides the substitute cell phone functions at points in the execution where a missing function is to be executed. Therefore, the smart phone application is converted into a basic phone application that can be executed by the basic cell phones with reduced functionality. The invention can run on a smart phone or a server. The invention can also be provided as a server based service for basic cell phone users.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric Mibuari, Osamuyimen Stewart, Aisha Walcott-Bryant

Patent number: 9646001Abstract: Operation of an automated dialog system is described using a source language to conduct a real time human machine dialog process with a human user using a target language. A user query in the target language is received and automatically machine translated into the source language. An automated reply of the dialog process is then delivered to the user in the target language. If the dialog process reaches an initial assistance state, a first human agent using the source language is provided to interact in real time with the user in the target language by machine translation to continue the dialog process. Then if the dialog process reaches a further assistance state, a second human agent using the target language is provided to interact in real time with the user in the target language to continue the dialog process.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Ruhi Sarikaya, Vaibhava Goel, David Nahamoo, Rèal Tremblay, Bhuvana Ramabhadran, Osamuyimen Stewart

Publication number: 20140180780Abstract: An embodiment of the invention pertaining to a given task to be submitted for crowdsourcing computes an initial incentive range having minimum, maximum and midrange incentives, the maximum incentive being equal to a prespecified maximum incentive value. Historical data pertaining to tasks of the given type that were previously crowdsourced is acquired, wherein the historical data includes completion time and incentive information. The historical data is used with the minimum, midrange and maximum incentives to compute minimum, midrange and maximum incentive task completion times. These completion times are used to determine whether a first, second, or a third criterion has been met, and responsive to a first or second criterion being met, the given task is transformed, and the incentive range is updated, for use in computing a final incentive value.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Osamuyimen Stewart, Maja Vukovic

Publication number: 20140156325Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is associated with a system disposed to post software related tasks to a crowdsourcing marketplace for execution. Prior to posting a specified task, it is determined whether the specified task comprises a complex task. Responsive to determining that the specified task comprises a complex task, the specified task is evaluated with respect to a first criterion, to determine whether the specified task should be decomposed into two or more atomic tasks. Responsive to determining that the specified task does not comprise a complex task, the specified task is evaluated with respect to a second criterion, to determine whether the specified task should be combined with other tasks into a bundled task.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2013Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Osamuyimen Stewart, Maja Vukovic

Patent number: 8566078Abstract: A method of generating a statistical machine translation database through a game in which a monolingual structure is provided to a plurality of players. A first translation attempt is received from each of the plurality of players. The first translation attempt from each of the plurality of players is compared. Feedback is provided to each of the plurality of players and the attempts are received and compared to provide feedback to iteratively converge subsequent translations from each of the plurality of players into a final translated structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2010Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ruhi Sarikaya, Jiri Navratil, Osamuyimen Stewart, David Lubensky
