Abstract: A machine learning system for a digital assistant is described, together with a method of training such a system. The machine learning system is based on an encoder-decoder sequence-to-sequence neural network architecture trained to map input sequence data to output sequence data, where the input sequence data relates to an initial query and the output sequence data represents canonical data representation for the query. The method of training involves generating a training dataset for the machine learning system. The method involves clustering vector representations of the query data samples to generate canonical-query original-query pairs in training the machine learning system.

Abstract: Automatically generating sentences that a user can say to invoke a set of defined actions performed by a virtual assistant are disclosed. A sentence is received and keywords are extracted from the sentence. Based on the keywords, additional sentences are generated. A classifier model is applied to the generated sentences to determine a sentence that satisfies a threshold. In the situation a sentence satisfies the threshold, an intent associated with the classifier model can be invoked. In the situation the sentences fail to satisfy the classifier model, the virtual assistant can attempt to interpret the received sentence according to the most likely intent by invoking a sentence generation model fine-tuned for a particular domain, generate additional sentences with a high probability of having the same intent and fulfill the specific action defined by the intent.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for evaluating aortic dissection surgery, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. The method comprises: obtaining a preoperative aortic model of a patient; simulating aortic dissection surgery on the basis of a virtual stent technology and the preoperative aortic model to obtain a postoperative aortic model; obtaining displacement amount of the same blood vessel node between the preoperative aortic model and the preoperative aortic model; and evaluating a surgical risk degree of the patient on the basis of the displacement amount. The occurrence probability of postoperative complications is related to the displacement amount.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically generating sample phrases or sentences that a user can say to invoke a set of defined actions performed by a virtual assistant are disclosed. By enabling finetuned general-purpose natural language models, the system can generate potential and accurate utterance sentences based on extracted keywords or the input utterance sentence. Furthermore, domain-specific datasets can be used to train the pre-trained, general-purpose natural language models via unsupervised learning. These generated sentences can improve the efficiency of configuring a virtual assistant. The system can further optimize the effectiveness of a virtual assistant in understanding the user, which can enhance the user experience of communicating with it.
