  • Patent number: 12292906
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for document recommendation. A system receives a set of training data including a plurality of documents. The system determines whether the set of training data includes annotated contextual information corresponding to the plurality of documents. The system trains supervised and/or unsupervised models based on the availability of data. The models are used to generate vectors representing the documents. During a live text conversation, text from the conversation may be vectorized using the models and the vectors compared to those representing the documents in order to find the most relevant documents. The system may generate an indication of a recommended document.

  • Publication number: 20250086467
    Abstract: The described method may include receiving user input indicating a configuration identifying a large language model (LLM) and a subset of documents indicated in the configuration as being available to a tenant. The method may include generating one or more vectorizations of content of the subset of documents. The method may include receiving a request to generate a generative response. The method may include generating the generative artificial intelligence (AI) prompt using the content to ground the generative AI prompt. The subset of documents may be identified based on a comparison between a vectorization of the request and the one or more vectorizations and based at least in part on a determination that a user associated with the tenant is permitted to access the subset of documents. The method may include presenting a response to the generative AI prompt, the response generated by the LLM using the generative AI prompt.

  • Publication number: 20240242022
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a structured conversation summarization framework. A user interface may be provided which allows an agent to perform a conversation with a customer, for example regarding resolving a customer support issue. Utterances by both the agent and customer may be stored, and at the end of the conversation, the utterances may be used to generate a structured summary. The structured summary may include components such as a general summary, an issue summary, and a resolution summary. Using neural network models and heuristics, each component of the summary may be automatically generated.

  • Patent number: 9574051
    Abstract: A nanoparticle which includes a multi-armed core and surface decoration which is attached to the core is prepared. A multi-armed core is provided by any of a number of possible routes, exemplary preferred routes being living anionic polymerization that is initiated by a reactive, functionalized anionic initiator and ?-caprolactone polymerization of a bis-MPA dendrimer. The multi-armed core is preferably functionalized on some or all arms. A coupling reaction is then employed to bond surface decoration to one or more arms of the multi-armed core. The surface decoration is a small molecule or oligomer with a degree of polymerization less than 50, a preferred decoration being a PEG oligomer with degree of polymerization between 2 and 24. The nanoparticles (particle size ?10 nm) are employed as sacrificial templating porogens to form porous dielectrics. The porogens are mixed with matrix precursors (e.g., methyl silsesquioxane resin), the matrix vitrifies, and the porogens are removed via burnout.

  • Patent number: 9481903
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and/or identifying target cells (e.g., bacteria) using engineered transduction particles are described herein. In some embodiments, a method includes mixing a quantity of transduction particles within a sample. The transduction particles are associated with a target cell. The transduction particles are non-replicative, and are engineered to include a nucleic acid molecule formulated to cause the target cell to produce a series of reporter molecules. The sample and the transduction particles are maintained to express the series of the reporter molecules when target cell is present in the sample. A signal associated with a quantity of the reporter molecules is received. In some embodiments, a magnitude of the signal is independent from a quantity of the transduction particle above a predetermined quantity.

  • Patent number: 8792318
    Abstract: An approach is presented for designing a polymeric layer for nanometer scale thermo-mechanical storage devices. Cross-linked polyimide oligomers are used as the recording layers in atomic force data storage device, giving significantly improved performance when compared to previously reported cross-linked and linear polymers. The cross-linking of the polyimide oligomers may be tuned to match thermal and force parameters required in read-write-erase cycles. Additionally, the cross-linked polyimide oligomers are suitable for use in nano-scale imaging.

  • Patent number: 8436062
    Abstract: Substantially or roughly spherical micellar structures useful in the formation of nanoporous materials by templating are disclosed. A roughly spherical micellar structure is formed by organization of one or more spatially unsymmetric organic amphiphilic molecules. Each of those molecules comprises a branched moiety and a second moiety. The branched moiety can form part of either the core or the surface of the spherical micellar structure, depending on the polarity of the environment. The roughly spherical micellar structures form in a thermosetting polymer matrix. They are employed in a templating process whereby the amphiphilic molecules are dispersed in the polymer matrix, the matrix is cured, and the porogens are then removed, leaving nanoscale pores.

  • Patent number: 8389589
    Abstract: A nanoporous material exhibiting a lamellar structure is disclosed. The material comprises three or more substantially parallel sheets of an organosilicate material, separated by highly porous spacer regions. The distance between the centers of the sheets lies between 1 nm and 50 nm. The highly porous spacer regions may be substantially free of condensed material. For the manufacture of such materials, a process is disclosed in which matrix non-amphiphilic polymeric material and templating polymeric material are dispersed in a solvent, where the templating polymeric material includes a polymeric amphiphilic material. The solvent with the polymeric materials is distributed onto a substrate. Organization is induced in the templating polymeric material. The solvent is removed, leaving the polymeric materials in place. The matrix polymeric material is cured, forming a lamellar structure.
