Publication number: 20250259021Abstract: Techniques for executing system actions during conversations between a human user and an autonomous conversational system are disclosed. A first generative language model processes user messages to determine user intent, while a dialog management model analyzes the intent and conversation context to identify required system actions. The system executes actions by retrieving parameters from context, performing database queries or API calls to obtain response data, and storing results in conversation context variables. A second generative language model generates natural language responses using the action results. The system maintains conversation context including message history, action results, and state information, validates action execution, and initiates human agent handoff when needed. The system improves over time by detecting poor performance, gathering problematic conversations, and retraining using updated configurations.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Amol Kelkar, Nikhil Varghese, Chandra Khatri, Utkarsh Mittal, Nachiketa Rajpurohit, Peter Relan, Hung Tran

Publication number: 20250259022Abstract: Techniques for analyzing conversation logs to identify system actions for an autonomous conversational AI system are disclosed. Historical conversation logs are analyzed using a generative language model to identify conversation topics and subtopics. Conversations within each topic and subtopic are ranked based on frequency of occurrence and representative conversations are selected using normalized mean conversation embeddings. The selected conversations are analyzed to identify opportunities for system actions, and user messages and human agent responses are converted into system actions using a transformer-based natural language processing model. An action configuration comprising the identified system actions and required parameters is generated and stored for training the autonomous conversational AI system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2025Publication date: August 14, 2025Inventors: Amol Kelkar, Nikhil Varghese, Chandra Khatri, Utkarsh Mittal, Nachiketa Rajpurohit, Peter Relan, Hung Tran

Publication number: 20250238636Abstract: Techniques for analyzing conversation logs to identify system actions are described. Historical conversation logs are analyzed using a generative language model to identify conversation topics and subtopics, with conversations ranked by frequency and selected using normalized mean conversation embeddings. The system converts user messages and human agent responses into system actions using a transformer-based natural language processing model, generating database queries and API calls with required parameters. The system creates a graph structure representing conversation flows, identifies action nodes, determines required parameters, and validates the structure. An action configuration is generated and stored for training an autonomous conversational AI system. The system preprocesses logs to normalize data across channels, anonymizes personal information, and automatically improves performance by analyzing problematic conversations.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2025Publication date: July 24, 2025Inventors: Amol Kelkar, Nikhil Varghese, Chandra Khatri, Utkarsh Mittal, Nachiketa Rajpurohit, Peter Relan, Hung Tran

Patent number: 12282743Abstract: Described herein is an Autonomous Conversational AI system, which does not require any human configuration or annotation, and is used to have multi-turn dialogs with a user. A typical Conversational AI system consists of three main models: Natural Language Understanding (NLU), Dialog Manager (DM) and Natural Language Generation (NLG), which requires human provided data and configuration. The system proposed herein leverages novel Conversational AI methods which automatically generates conversational AI configuration from any historical conversation logs. The automatically generated configuration contains Auto-Topics, Auto-Subtopics, Auto-Intents, Auto-Responses and Auto-Flows which are used to automatically train NLU, DM and NLG models. Once these models are trained for given conversation logs, the system can be used to have dialog with any user.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2022Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: GICRM AI LLCInventors: Amol Kelkar, Nikhil Varghese, Chandra Khatri, Utkarsh Mittal, Nachiketa Rajpurohit, Peter Relan, Hung Tran

Patent number: 8082349Abstract: Online fraud is reduced by identifying suspicious activities in real time and providing alerting so that interdiction may be performed. Historical customer behavior is used to identify and flag deviations in activity patterns. An HTTP data stream is parsed, intelligently filtered, and key data is extracted in real time. The key data is periodically extracted from network traffic and used to update corresponding summaries stored in a fraud data mart. The data mart is constantly incrementally updated so that the most current historical information is available to a rules engine for real time comparison with new customer data and patterns occurring on the network. Fraud-related business signatures are applied to this data stream and/or a data mart to identify suspicious online transactions. By understanding the customer session, the customer's intended use of the online application is derived and possible fraudulent activities identified.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2006Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Entrust, Inc.Inventors: Sunil Bhargava, Ben Feldman, Roger Faulkner, Peter Relan
