  • Publication number: 20250147993
    Abstract: A method for conversational query resolution includes receiving a query input from a user. The query input is decomposed into a plurality of tasks. A knowledge graph is queried to identify one or more relevant entities based on at least one of the plurality of tasks. A vector database is searched to identify one or more text chunks that correspond to the one or more relevant entities. Content relevant to at least one of the plurality of tasks is identified from the one or more text chunks. An answer is generated based on the identified content.

  • Publication number: 20230111782
    Abstract: Request processing method based on a consortium blockchain, a device, and a storage medium. The implementation solution is: receiving a transaction processing request from a first party authority proxy service of a first party blockchain node through a second party authority proxy service of a second party blockchain node; performing authority verification on the transaction processing request; and in a case where the authority verification passes, sending the transaction processing request to the second party blockchain node to make the second party blockchain node process the transaction processing request. Therefore, the flexibility and convenience of request processing can be improved.
