Abstract: In an approach to improve abstract summarization with question and answer rewards embodiments generate, by a question and answer generator, questions and answers corresponding to a generated summary. Further, embodiments evaluate received answers for the generated questions by analyzing received answers associated with the generated summary against answers received for an original summary, and calculate a reward based on the similarity between answers associated with generated summary and the original summary. Additionally, embodiments update the generation model by applying the calculated reward to further train the summary generation model.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program for conducting a conversational search. In one embodiment, the method includes monitoring a dialogue involving at least one user and capturing user utterances provided during the dialogue. These user utterances are then analyzed and classified according to the context of the dialogue. The dialogue is intervened upon the determination that a user needs additional information and/or upon execution of an action on behalf of the user and based on the plurality of user utterances and context. The Required information may be provided back to the user using Documentation Recommendation Module. The Documentation Recommendation Module determines a valid resource recommendation as determined by a combination of the context and a resource that includes additional information.

In one aspect, a method for generating a clarification prompt in an interactive system includes: obtaining a training dataset for generating the clarification prompt from existing question-answering datasets by modifying original queries in the existing question-answering datasets to obtain training examples of under-specified queries; and training a machine learning model using the training dataset how to select latent differentiating factors in content candidates obtained from an under-specified query from a user and, based on the latent differentiating factors, generate the clarification prompt to clarify an intent of the user.

Abstract: Predicting the impact of an information technology (IT) failure includes detecting a computer-generated indication of the failure. Responsive to determining that the IT failure is a previously unseen IT failure, operations of a computer-implemented unseen event handler can be invoked. The unseen event handler can map the previously unseen IT failure to a previously seen IT failure based on a similarity score generated by a computer-implemented similarity scorer, wherein the similarity score is based on a unified process-IT topology. A machine learning model can generate an IT failure impact prediction and recommendation based on the mapping, wherein the machine learning model also is based on the unified process-IT topology. An output of the IT failure prediction and recommendation can be generated.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe an automated process for identifying tasks that can be converted from primarily being driven by a human agent into bot-driven RPAs. This disclosure describes techniques for automatically generating RPAs by monitoring the actions of the agent and identifying corresponding events. These events can be performed on unstructured data sources and structured data sources. The events are clustered into different tasks where pattern detection techniques are used to identify common (or overlapping) events and causal relationships between the events. Using these causal relationships, the system can map events performed on unstructured data sources to events performed on structured data source. The system can then generate respective bot-RPAs for the tasks. The system can monitor, in real-time, data received from unstructured and/or structured data sources and when it identifies data for one of the bot-RPAs, automatically execute the RPA to perform the task.

The processor can inter-train a model for each different perspective based on respective weakly labeled data. The processor can fine-tune each inter-trained model based on the few-shot training data for each different perspective to generate a final model for each different perspective.

Abstract: In an approach for a cooperative build and content annotation system for conversational design of virtual assistants, a processor formulates a build context based on a build activity of a user. A processor formulates one or more content queries based on the build context. A processor builds a content index by augmenting a text-search index with a neural Information Retrieval (IR) index. A processor searches the content index using the one or more content queries to identify content relevant to the build context. A processor determines at least one recommendation for the user based on heuristic rules applied to the build context and the identified content, wherein each recommendation is a build suggestion or a content annotation suggestion.
