Handling Vague Modifiers In Natural Language Commands

US Patent:
20220365970, Nov 17, 2022
Filed:
Jul 28, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/876429
Inventors:
- Seattle WA, US
Melanie K. Tory - Portland ME, US
Vidya Raghavan Setlur - Portola Valley CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 16/904
G06F 40/30
G06N 5/04
G06F 40/253
G06F 40/211
G06F 16/242
G06F 16/28
G06F 16/26
G06F 16/248
G06F 40/279
Abstract:
A computing device receives a user input to specify a natural language command directed to a data source. The device identifies a first keyword, corresponding to a first data field from the data source, in the natural language command. The device identifies a second keyword in the natural language command. The second keyword comprises an adjective that provides context for the first data field. The device generates a visual specification based on the first and second keywords. The visual specification specifies the data source, a plurality of visual variables, and a plurality of data fields from the data source, including the first data field. The visual variables include a first visual variable that specifies filtering of the first data field according to the second keyword. The device generates and displays a data visualization based on the visual specification.

Applying Natural Language Pragmatics In A Data Visualization User Interface

US Patent:
20210303558, Sep 30, 2021
Filed:
Jun 8, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/342496
Inventors:
- Seattle WA, US
Sarah E. Battersby - Seattle WA, US
Melanie K. Tory - Palo Alto CA, US
Angel Xuan Chang - Stanford CA, US
Isaac James Dykeman - Bethesda MD, US
MD Enamul Hoque Prince - Vancouver, CA
International Classification:
G06F 16/248
G06K 9/62
G06F 3/0484
G06F 16/242
G06F 16/2452
G06F 40/30
Abstract:
A method uses natural language for visual analysis of a dataset. A data visualization application displays a data visualization, at a computer, based on a dataset retrieved from a database using a set of one or more queries. A user specifies a natural language command related to the displayed data visualization, and the computer extracts an analytic phrase from the natural language command. The computer computes semantic relatedness between the analytic phrase and numeric data fields in the dataset. The computer identifies numeric data fields having highest semantic relatedness to the analytic phrase, and also selects a relevant numerical function. The numerical function compares data values in the numeric data fields to a threshold value. The computer retrieves an updated dataset that filters the identified numeric data fields according to the numeric function. The computer then displays an updated data visualization using the updated dataset.

Determining Ranges For Vague Modifiers In Natural Language Commands

US Patent:
20210303626, Sep 30, 2021
Filed:
Jun 14, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/347453
Inventors:
- Seattle WA, US
Melanie K. TORY - Palo Alto CA, US
Vidya Raghavan SETLUR - Portola Valley CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 16/904
G06F 40/30
G06N 5/04
G06F 40/253
G06F 40/211
G06F 16/242
G06F 16/28
G06F 16/26
G06F 16/248
G06F 40/279
Abstract:
A computing device receives user selection of a data source and a natural language command directed to the data source. The device identifies a first keyword and a second keyword in the natural language command. The first keyword corresponds to a first data field from the data source and the second keyword expresses a limit on a range of data values for the first data field. The device generates a visual specification that specifies the data source, a plurality of visual variables, and a plurality of data fields from the data source, including the first data field. The visual variables determine characteristics of visual marks in a data visualization according to the second keyword, and each of the visual variables is associated with a respective data field of the plurality of data fields. The device generates and displays the data visualization based on the visual specification.

System And Method For Facilitating Manual Sorting Of Objects

US Patent:
20180050370, Feb 22, 2018
Filed:
Nov 1, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/800995
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Melanie Tory - Sunnyvale CA, US
Joachim Schmid - Carpinteria CA, US
Assignee:
Agilent Technologies, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
B07C 5/342
B07C 7/00
Abstract:
An apparatus that facilitates the manual sorting of objects is disclosed. The apparatus includes a display surface having a surface that can be selectively illuminated and that is adapted for receiving the objects. An identification reader reads identification information stored on the objects. A controller causes an area on the display surface corresponding to one of the objects to be illuminated based on the identification information and indicates a location to which the illuminated object is to be moved. In one aspect of the invention, the display surface includes an area adapted for positioning a receiver for the objects. The display surface provides an indication of a position in the receiver at which the one of the objects is to be placed.

System For Automating Laboratory Experiments

US Patent:
20140368443, Dec 18, 2014
Filed:
Jun 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/918572
Inventors:
- Loveland CO, US
Melanie Tory - Sunnyvale CA, US
International Classification:
B01L 9/00
G06F 3/041
US Classification:
345173
Abstract:
An adapter and systems using multiple such adapters are disclosed. The adapter includes a controller and a top surface having a display area and a component area adapted to receive a component. The display area displays an image determined by the controller, the image providing information about the component. In one aspect of the invention, the top surface includes a computer display screen that can also be a touch enabled screen. The adapters can be used with a plurality of different components and are reusable. The computer display screen can include a detent mechanism for positioning the component. The controller can determine an identity, a location, an orientation for the component based on a touch pattern on the touch enabled computer screen. The adapter can also include a sensor measuring a property of the component such as the temperature or weight of the component.
