  • Patent number: 12057113
    Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure combine open and closed dialog systems into an intelligent dialog management system. A text query may be processed by a natural language understanding model trained to associate the text query with a domain tag, intent classification, and/or input slots. Using the domain tag, the natural language understanding model may identify information in the text query corresponding to input slots needed for answering the text query. The text query and related information may then be passed to a dialog manager to direct the text query to the proper domain dialog system. Responses retrieved from the domain dialog system may be provided to the user via text output and/or via a text to speech component of the dialog management system.

  • Publication number: 20240095460
    Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods that use dialogue systems associated with various machine systems and applications are described. For instance, the systems and methods may receive text data representing speech, such as a question associated with a vehicle or other machine type. The systems and methods then use a retrieval system(s) to retrieve a question/answer pair(s) associated with the text data and/or contextual information associated with the text data. In some examples, the contextual information is associated with a knowledge base associated with or corresponding to the vehicle. The systems and methods then generate a prompt using the text data, the question/answer pair(s), and/or the contextual information. Additionally, the systems and methods determine, using a language model(s) and based at least on the prompt, an output associated with the text data. For instance, the output may include information that answers the question associated with the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240087561
    Abstract: In various examples, techniques for using scene-aware context for dialogue systems and applications are described herein. For instance, systems and methods are disclosed that process audio data representing speech in order to determine an intent associated with the speech. Systems and methods are also disclosed that process sensor data representing at least a user in order to determine a point of interest associated with the user. In some examples, the point of interest may include a landmark, a person, and/or any other object within an environment. The systems and methods may then generate a context associated with the point of interest. Additionally, the systems and methods may process the intent and the context using one or more language models. Based on the processing, the language model(s) may output data associated with the speech.

  • Publication number: 20230356728
    Abstract: Approaches for an advanced AI-assisted vehicle can utilize an extensive suite of sensors inside and outside the vehicle, providing information to a computing platform running one or more neural networks. The neural networks can perform functions such as facial recognition, eye tracking, gesture recognition, head position, and gaze tracking to monitor the condition and safety of the driver and passengers. The system also identifies and tracks body pose and signals of people inside and outside the vehicle to understand their intent and actions. The system can track driver gaze to identify objects the driver might not see, such as cross-traffic and approaching cyclists. The system can provide notification of potential hazards, advice, and warnings. The system can also take corrective action, which may include controlling one or more vehicle subsystems, or when necessary, autonomously controlling the entire vehicle. The system can work with vehicle systems for enhanced analytics and recommendations.

  • Publication number: 20230316773
    Abstract: In various examples, sensor data may be captured by sensors of an ego-object, such as a vehicle traveling in a physical environment, and a representation of the sensor data may be streamed from the ego-object to a remote location to facilitate various remote experiences, such as streaming to a remote viewer (e.g., a friend or relative), streaming to a remote or fleet operator, streaming to a mobile app configured to self-park or summon an ego-object, rendering a 3D augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) representation of the physical environment, and/or others. In some embodiments, the stream includes one or more command channels used to control data collection, rendering, stream content, or even vehicle maneuvers, such as during an emergency, self-park, or summon scenario.

  • Publication number: 20230297074
    Abstract: Approaches provide for performance of a complex (e.g., compound) task that may involve multiple discrete tasks not obvious from an instruction to perform the complex task. A set of conditions for an environment can be determined using captured image data, and the instruction analyzed to determine a set of final conditions to exist in the environment after performance of the instruction. These initial and end conditions are used to determine a sequence of discrete tasks to be performed to cause a robot or automated device to perform the instruction. This can involve use of a symbolic or visual planner in at least some embodiments, as well as a search of possible sequences of actions available for the robot or automated device. A robot can be caused to perform the sequence of discrete tasks, and feedback provided such that the sequence of tasks can be modified as appropriate.

  • Publication number: 20210358188
    Abstract: In various examples, a virtually animated and interactive agent may be rendered for visual and audible communication with one or more users with an application. For example, a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) assistant may be rendered and displayed for visual communication in addition to audible communication with end-users. As such, the AI assistant may leverage the visual domain—in addition to the audible domain—to more clearly communicate with users, including interacting with a virtual environment in which the AI assistant is rendered. Similarly, the AI assistant may leverage audio, video, and/or text inputs from a user to determine a request, mood, gesture, and/or posture of a user for more accurately responding to and interacting with the user.

  • Publication number: 20210229601
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a self-adjusting vehicle mirror. The mirror automatically locates the face of the driver or another passenger, and orients the mirror to provide the driver/passenger face with a desired view from the mirror. The mirror may continue to reorient itself as the driver or passenger shifts position, to continuously provide a desired field of view even as he or she changes position over time. In certain embodiments, the mirror system of the disclosure can be a self-contained system, with the mirror, mirror actuator, camera, and computing device all contained within the mirror housing as a single integrated unit.

  • Patent number: 10459873
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for adaptively adjusting a framerate of a graphic processing unit (GPU). For example, when the GPU workload is high and the temperature of the GPU is close to high temperature, the framerate can be decreased to reduce the workload; when the GPU workload is low, the framerate can be permitted to increase to raise the workload. By the present invention, the GPU is permitted to operate at maximum temperature. The method comprises the steps of: (a) receiving an execution parameter associated with at least one GPU; (b) comparing if the execution parameter is greater than a first reference value; and (c) in the event the execution parameter is greater than the first reference value, increasing a sleep time and power-gating the at least one GPU based on the sleep time to adjust the framerate.
