  • Patent number: 11662888
    Abstract: A collaboration system provides a collaboration interface for display to interacting users. The collaboration system analyzes messages among a group of users to determine an intent of the group to collaborate. When an intent is assigned to a set of messages, the collaboration system generates collaboration interfaces to prompt each of the users to select their preferred values for attributes of the collaboration, such as a meeting location, time, and date. The user selections are recorded in a collaboration data object which is monitored for matching selections. When multiple users have selection the same values for attributes of the collaboration the collaboration data object is locked from further changes and the collaboration system executes tasks to resolve the intent such as booking tickets, making reservations, and providing confirmation messages to the collaborating users.

  • Patent number: 11334719
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are presented for a named entity recognition engine. The NER Engine initiates extraction of named entities from a document(s) and identifies one or more required parameters that correspond to a document outline type classification(s) of the document(s). The NER Engine applies a named entity recognition model to the extracted named entities to predict respective mappings between the extracted named entities and the one or more required parameters, wherein the said mapping depends on a Previous Number of Words model which is based on a same predefined number of words that appear before a named entity, as well as a model based on the named entity being included in a document sentence, and a model which depends on position of the named entity in the document. The NER Engine generates a user interface for display of the predicted respective mappings.
