  • Patent number: 11816573
    Abstract: Techniques are described for producing machine learning models to generate findings associated with user experiences with products and/or services. In some embodiments, a training process receives a set of findings from one or more user experience tests, where a finding includes a summary and a set of one or more references supporting the summary. The training process further identifies a supplemental set of one or more references that were not included in the initial finding to support the summary. The training process trains a machine learning model, such as a neural or generative language model, based on the first set of one or more references and the second set of one or more references to generate summaries from a subset of sampled references based at least in part on the first set of one or more references and the second set of one or more references.

  • Patent number: 10604726
    Abstract: A cleaning composition is provided including an alkalinity source, builder, surfactant, water, a reducing agent and amylase in the ratio of from about 1:1 to about 1:3 wherein the total amount of amylase in the composition is equal to or less than about 1.0 weight percent; and wherein the composition is substantially free of polyols, alkanolamine, phosphates, and boric acid. A method of presoaking soiled substrates is further provided. The method including the steps of providing presoak solution to a soiled substrate at a temperature of between about 65.5° C. up to about 80° C., the presoak solution including the provided composition; draining the presoak solution from the substrate; providing a detergent to a soiled substrate including the composition of the present invention; and removing or draining the detergent; and rinsing the substrate with water.
