  • Patent number: 12586112
    Abstract: Systems and methods for obtaining product information via a conversational user interface. The communication channel receives communication from a user, the intent and entities of which are deduced by the NLP. These are communicated by the fulfillment API to the knowledge engine which retrieves information that fulfills the intent. The information is communicated to the fulfillment API, which converts the intent into a response, which in turn is forwarded by the NLP to the communication channel, and back to the user.

  • Publication number: 20260080018
    Abstract: Machine learning segmentation methods and systems that perform segmentation quickly, efficiently, cheaply, and optionally provides an interactive feature that allows a user to alter the segmentation until a desired result is obtained. The automated machine learning segmentation tool receives all potentially important attributes and provides segmentation of items. It also receives information about important features of the data and finds how best to differentiate between groups using cluster-based machine learning algorithms. In addition, visualization of the segmentation explains to a user how the segmentation was obtained.
