  • Patent number: 11893349
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating phonetic spelling variations of a given word based on locale-specific pronunciations. A phoneme-letter density model may be configured to identify a phoneme sequence corresponding to an input word, and to identify all character sequences that may correspond to an input phoneme sequence and their respective probabilities. The phoneme-phoneme error model may be configured to identify locale-specific alternative phoneme sequences that may correspond to a given phoneme sequence, and their respective probabilities. Using these two models, a processing system may be configured to generate, for a given input word, a list of alternative character sequences that may correspond to the input word based on locale-specific pronunciations, and/or a probability distribution representing how likely each alternative character sequence is to correspond to the input word.

  • Patent number: 11893351
    Abstract: A method including receiving, in a machine learning model (MLM), a corpus including words. The MLM includes layers configured to extract keywords from the corpus, plus a retrospective layer. A first keyword and a second keyword from the corpus are identified in the layers. The first and second keywords are assigned first and second probabilities. Each probability is a likelihood that a keyword is to be included in a key phrase. A determination is made, in the retrospective layer, of a first probability modifier that modifies the first probability based on a first dependence relationship between the second keyword being placed after the first keyword. The first probability is modified using the first probability modifier. The first modified probability is used to determine whether the first keyword and the second keyword together form the key phrase. The key phrase is stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium.

  • Patent number: 11893358
    Abstract: For a seamless and robust artificial intelligence-based assistant experience, an intent-based query and response router has been designed to operate as an intelligent layer between a user and multiple backend services that may respond to one or more queries over the course of a conversation with the user. The query router interacts with an intent classification service to obtain an intent classification for a prompt that is based on a user query. The query router uses the intent classification, which is used as an identifier of a backend service, to route the user query to an appropriate one (or more) of the backend services. When a response is detected, the query router determines a corresponding conversation and provides the response for the conversation.

  • Patent number: 11893360
    Abstract: A process for performing vector dot products receives a row vector and a column vector as floating point numbers in a format of sign plus exponent bits plus mantissa bits. The process generates a single dot product value by separately processing the sign bits, exponent bits, and mantissa bits to form a sign bit, a normalized mantissa formed by multiplying pairs multiplicand elements, and exponent information including MAX_EXP and EXP_DIFF. A second pipeline stage receives the multiplied pairs of normalized mantissas, optionally performs an exponent adjustment, pads, complements and shifts the normalized mantissas, and the results are added in a series of stages until a single addition result remains, which is normalized using MAX_EXP to form the floating point output result.

  • Patent number: 11893365
    Abstract: Techniques for generating application interfaces based on semantic-level data are described herein. Application developers may semantically define an application flow. Based on the definition, a system may identify a template of a multipage navigable interface that is compatible with the flow. If multiple templates are compatible, then a template may be recommended or automatically selected based on the semantic information provided by the developer. The system may generate, based on the template and the semantic definition, a multipage navigable interface. The template may encapsulate some design and functional elements in a manner that is independent of the semantic definition.

Using the methods and systems described herein using low-code/no-code techniques, a designer can create custom and/or complex software applications using one or more spreadsheets as the underlying blueprints for the software application. The resultant software application may be static/read-only, or may be interactive to allow users to dynamically add, delete, edit, or otherwise amend application data, e.g., via one or more online web pages or via a mobile application. Data transfer may be one-way or bi-directional between the blueprint spreadsheets and the resultant software application, thereby allowing amended data to be transferred from the software application back into spreadsheet form.

  • Patent number: 11893368
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for removing branches from a computer program. The system receives code for a computer program, with the code including a number of branches. Each branch is part of a branching path and includes a jump instruction. The system executes the code, and upon encountering a branching path at runtime, the system proceeds with a number of steps. First, the system computes the result of the branch, then prefetches independent instructions outside of the branch to be executed. The system then executes one or more of the prefetched independent instructions and removes an if statement within the jump instruction of the branch at the computed result of the branching path. The system then executes the jump instruction of the branch at the computed result of the branching path.

  • Patent number: 11893384
    Abstract: Implementations are described herein for leveraging machine learning to automate source code refactoring and/or rearchitecting. In various implementations, one or more ground truth boundaries may be removed from one or more boundaried source code files to produce one or more boundary-less source code files. One or more of the boundary-less source code files may be processed using a machine learning model to predict one or more candidate boundaries for reintroduction into the one or more boundary-less source code files. The one or more ground truth boundaries may be compared with the one or more predicted candidate boundaries. The machine learning model may be trained based on the comparing.

  • Patent number: 11893390
    Abstract: A method for debugging a processor which is executing vertices of a software application is described. Each vertex is assigned to a programming thread of the processor. The processor has debug hardware for raising exceptions in certain break conditions. The method comprises inspecting a vertex identifier, comparing the vertex identifier and raising an instruction exception event for the programming thread if the vertex identifier assigned to the thread matches the vertex break identifier in the debug hardware. Exceptions are raised based on identified vertices, rather than just individual instructions or instruction addresses.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for implementing data flows in a processor are described herein. A data flow manager may be configured to generate a configuration packet for a compute operation based on status information regarding multiple processing elements of the processor. Accordingly, multiple processing elements of a processor may concurrently process data flows based on the configuration packet. For example, the multiple processing elements may implement a mapping of processing elements to memory, while also implementing identified paths, through the processor, for the data flows. After executing the compute operation at certain processing elements of the processor, the processing results may be provided. In speech signal processing operations, the processing results may be compared to phonemes to identify such components of human speech in the processing results.
