Publication number: 20240078083Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can selectively determine whether to incorporate a verbatim interpretation of portions spoken utterances into an entry field and/or incorporate synonymous content into the entry field. For instance, a user can be accessing an interface that provides an entry field (e.g., address field) for receiving user input. In order to provide input for entry field, the user can select the entry field and/or access a GUI keyboard to initialize an automated assistant for assisting with filling the entry field. Should the user provide a spoken utterance, the user can elect to provide a spoken utterance that embodies the intended input (e.g., an actual address) or a reference to the intended input (e.g., a name). In response to the spoken utterance, the automated assistant can fill the entry field with the intended input without necessitating further input from the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Srikanth Pandiri, Luv Kolhari, Behshad Behzadi, Zaheed Sabur, Domenico Carbotta, Akshay Kannan, Qi Wang, Gokay Baris Gultekin, Angana Ghosh, Xu Liu, Yang Lu, Steve Cheng

Patent number: 11923074Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for identifying those entities within a network that have the most influence on other entities within the network. A multi-relational network comprising links among a plurality of physicians is generated based on peer network data, wherein each link indicates a first physician that influences a second physician, and a weight of the influence. A decision by a treating physician of the plurality of physicians is decomposed, using a deep learning engine, into a magnitude of peer influence and a magnitude of control factor influence based on the multi-relational network and a plurality of control factors respectively. The magnitude of peer influence among one or more physicians in the multi-relational network is distributed among physicians in the multi-relational network based on the links each physician maintains with other physicians.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Ruoxin Li, Yong Cai, John H. Eichert, Jr., Emily Zhao, Yilian Yuan, Yanping Liu, Steve Eichert, D. Bruce West, William McClellan
