Abstract: A system and method may identify computer-based processes which may be candidates for automation. Embodiments may involve a semi-supervised approach for identifying processes as automation opportunities. Transition probabilities for pairs of routines within a candidate process may be calculated based on a set of instances of the process (e.g., in a dataset of computer actions) using a dynamic time-window optimization procedure, where transition times may be measured for a plurality of instances of a first and second routines of a given pair of routines, and where statistical distributions may be calculated and used for deriving one or more time windows, describing a predetermined percentile (e.g., the 70th percentile) of the measured transitions and used for estimating a transition probability for the pair of routines. In some embodiments, the input set of transitions and routines may be generated by a user or business analyst using a graphical user interface (GUI).

Abstract: A system and method may identify computer-based processes involving the use of text templates which may be candidates for automation. Using one or more computers, embodiments of the invention may sort low-level user action information for a given process which may be received as input; search for a plurality of strings pasted multiple times in the sorted information; discard one or more of the strings found from the search which correspond to a set of criteria (e.g., found to be shorter, or pasted, or edited fewer times than a predetermined threshold); group the strings according to an identifier of the target app where each string was pasted; iteratively calculate a similarity score for strings or groups of strings, and cluster strings or groups for which the similarity score is below a predetermined threshold, to form final clusters; and suggest the final clusters as automation opportunities to, e.g., a business analyst.

Abstract: A method and system for analyzing and connecting computer-based actions into sentences may include for a series of computer-based actions, determining the case ID for the action for each action where an identifier or case ID can be determined, creating sequences of subsets of the series of computer-based actions using the case ID, and merging sequences having computer-based actions having the same case ID. A set of case IDs may be extracted from the actions using a clustering algorithm based on features of potential case IDs such as gaps in appearance of potential case IDs in a sequence of actions and consecutive appearances of potential case IDs in a sequence of actions. The extracted case IDs may be used when creating sequences.

Abstract: A system and method for creating input data to be used to train a conversational bot may include receiving a set of conversations, each conversation including sentences, classifying each sentence into a dialog act taken from a number of dialog acts, for each set of sentences classified into a dialog act, clustering the set of sentences into clusters based on the content (e.g. text) of the sentences, each cluster having a cluster name or label, and generating a language model based on the cluster labels. Slots may be identified in the sentences based in part on the dialog act classifications. A bot may be trained using data such as the slots, language model, and clusters.
