Abstract: A computing system identifies an incoming voice call from a user device to an agent device associated with the computing system. The computing system generates a transcription of the incoming voice call using one or more natural language processing techniques. The computing system extracts a problem description from the transcription. The problem description indicates a topic for the incoming voice call. A first machine learning model estimates a situation vector from the problem description. A second machine learning model identifies a pre-existing situation vector that closely matches the estimated situation vector. The computing system retrieves a situation description that corresponds to the identified pre-existing situation vector.

Abstract: A method for mitigating cold starts in recommendations includes receiving a request that identifies a requested page and identifying a content vector of the requested page. The content vector is generated based on providing text of the requested page to a neural network text encoder. The method further includes selecting, based on the content vector, a link to a cold start page that does not satisfy a threshold level of interaction data. The selected link is ranked above a second link to a warm page that does satisfy the threshold level of the interaction data. The method further includes presenting the requested page with the selected link.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for predicting content relevant to questions based on reference links. Embodiments include receiving a set of question and answer (Q/A) pairs and identifying a set of references in the set of Q/A pairs that link pairs of Q/A pairs of the set of Q/A pairs. Embodiments include identifying popular Q/A pairs of the set of Q/A pairs based on the set of references. The popular Q/A pairs may be referenced by a subset of the set of Q/A pairs and each respective Q/A pair of the subset of the set of Q/A pairs may comprise a respective question of a plurality of questions. Embodiments include training a model based on the plurality of questions, the popular Q/A pairs, and the set of references, to predict Q/A pairs of the set of Q/A pairs that are relevant to a given question.

Abstract: A method involves receiving search queries, having search terms, submitted to at least one computerized search engine. For each query, a corresponding pairwise relation in the search queries is calculated. The corresponding pairwise relation is a corresponding probability of a potential edge relationship between at least two terms. Thus, potential edges are formed. A general graph of the terms is constructed by selecting edges from the potential edges. The general graph is nodes representing the terms used in the search queries. The general graph also is edges representing semantic relationships among the nodes. A hierarchical graph is constructed from the general graph by altering at least one of the edges among the nodes in the general graph to form the hierarchical graph.
