  • Patent number: 11941414
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240028913
    Abstract: An example system includes a processor to receive unlabeled data, few-shot training data, and a pre-trained model. The processor can split the unlabeled data into a number of groups corresponding to different perspectives. The processor can generate weakly labeled data for each of the number of groups using a respective associated heuristic. 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.

  • Patent number: 11853335
    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.

  • Patent number: 11816131
    Abstract: A method and system. Target clusterability is calculated as an average of a respective clusterability of at least one target data item comprised by a target domain. Target-side matchability is calculated as an average of a respective matchability of each target centroid of the target domain to source centroids of a source domain, wherein the source domain comprises at least one source data item. Source-side matchability is calculated as an average of a respective matchability of each source centroid of said source centroids to the target centroids. Source-target pair matchability is calculated as an average of the target-side matchability and the source-side matchability. Cross-domain clusterability between the target domain and the source domain is calculated as a linear combination of the calculated target clusterability and the calculated source-target pair matchability. The cross-domain clusterability is transferred to a device.

  • Publication number: 20230342397
    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.
