Annotations are customized for a tenant-specific search within a public corpus. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a cartridge file is received by a semantic search application. The cartridge file includes a new attribute definition that is not available in an index of the semantic search application. The new attribute definition is incorporated within the index based on an approximation of one or more existing attributes in the index. One or more documents are retrieved from the public corpus based on a concept search using the incorporated new attribute definition and the one or more documents are annotated based on the incorporated new attribute definition. The annotated one or more documents are stored in a tenant-specific dataset separate from the public corpus.

Systems and methods for identifying content for an input query are presented. A mapping model is trained to map elements of an input query embedding vector for a received query into one or more elements of a destination embedding vector. In response to receiving an input query, an input query embedding vector is generated that projects into an input query embedding space. The input query embedding vector is processed by the mapping model to map the input query embedding vector into one or more elements of a destination embedding vector in a destination embedding space, resulting in a partial destination embedding vector. Items of a corpus of content are projected into the destination embedding space and the partial destination embedding vector is also projected into the destination embedding space. A similarity measure determines the most-similar items to the partial destination embedding vector and at least some of the most-similar items are returned in response to the input query.

The present invention relates to an artificial intelligence method and system for event predication, comprising: receiving, user messages, user activity data, event data, user identification information and transaction data; scraping webpages for additional event data; applying a natural language processing module to process the event data; constructing a training data set using the processed event data; constructing user preferences from the user messages, the user activity data, the user identification information and the transaction data; training a predictive model using the training data set to determine at least one upcoming event predictions determining to display the at least one event predictions based on the user profile; if it is determined to display one of the at least one event predictions, generating a graphical user interface display with a calendar depicting the at least one event prediction; and presenting the graphical user interface display to the user.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user request from a client system associated with a user, generating a response to the user request which references one or more entities, generating a personalized recommendation based on the user request and the response, wherein the personalized recommendation references one or more of the entities of the response, and sending instructions for presenting the response and the personalized recommendation to the client system.

To enable provision of appropriate information for a user query even in a case there are multiple information provision modules which are different in answer generation processing. A query sending unit 212 sends a user query to each one of a plurality of information provision module units 220 that are different in the answer generation processing and that each generate an answer candidate for the user query. An output control unit 214 performs control such that the answer candidate acquired from each one of the plurality of information provision module units 220 is displayed on a display unit 300 on a per-agent basis with information on an agent associated with that information provision module unit 220.

A method for a contextual assistant to use mouse pointing or touch cues includes receiving audio data corresponding to a query spoken by a user, receiving, in a graphical user interface displayed on a screen, a user input indication indicating a spatial input applied at a first location on the screen, and processing the audio data to determine a transcription of the query. The method also includes performing query interpretation on the transcription to determine that the query is referring to an object displayed on the screen without uniquely identifying the object, and requesting information about the object. The method further includes disambiguating, using the user input indication indicating the spatial input applied at the first location on the screen, the query to uniquely identify the object that the query is referring to, obtaining the information about the object requested by the query, and providing a response to the query.

A computer-implemented method comprising: outputting questions to a user via one or more user devices, and receiving back responses to some of the questions from the user via one or more user devices; over time, controlling the outputting of the questions so as to output the questions under circumstances of different values for each of one or more items of metadata, wherein the one or more items of metadata comprise at least a time and/or a location at which a question was output to the user via the one or more user devices; monitoring whether or not the user responds when the question is output with the different metadata values; training the machine learning algorithm to learn a value of each of the items of metadata which optimizes a reward function, and based thereon selecting a time and/or location at which to output subsequent questions.

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for querying data in a data repository. According to a first aspect, this disclosure describes a method of querying a database, comprising: receiving, at a computing device, a plurality of keywords; determining, by the computer device, a plurality of datasets relating to the keywords; identifying, by the computer device, metadata for the plurality of datasets indicating a relationship between the datasets by examining an ontology associated with the datasets; providing, by the computer device, one or more suggested database queries in natural language form, the one or more suggested database queries constructed based on the plurality of keywords and the metadata; receiving, by the computing device, a selection of the one or more suggested database queries; and constructing, by the computer device, an object view for the plurality of datasets based on the selected query and the metadata.

A computer-implemented technique is described herein for facilitating a user's repeated execution of the same computer-implemented actions. The technique performs this task by determining patterns in the manner in which the user repeats requests associated with certain computer-implemented actions. For example, the technique determines context-dependent patterns in the manner in which the user submits search requests to a search system. The technique then leverages those patterns by proactively providing a request-assistance tool to the user in those context-specific circumstances in which the user is likely to perform the repetitive computer-implemented actions. The digital action-assistance tool provides various kinds of assistance to the user in performing the repetitive computer-implemented actions.
