摘要： The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods for performing natural language processing in which tokens are mapped to task slots. The system includes a mapper component that generates a lattice representing possible interpretations of the tokens, a decoder component that creates a ranked list of paths traversing the lattice, a scorer component that generates scores used to rank paths and post-processing components that format the paths for use by other software. Each of these components may be independent, such that the component may be modified or replaced without affecting the remaining components. This allows a variety of different mathematical models and algorithms to be tested or deployed without requiring changes to the remainder of the system.

摘要： A task-based advertisement system and method are provided. The system employs high-order concepts (e.g., booking a flight, checking stock quotes etc.) embodied in “task(s)” which can then be bid upon by advertisers. The task(s) employed by the system are based upon a semantic solution to a natural-language query. The system includes a search engine that is capable of serving content in response to user query(ies). The system further includes a task server that can include hardware and/or software to retrieve task(s) in response to user query(ies). The task(s) retrieved by the task server can be presented to advertiser(s) who can bid on the task(s).

摘要： Provided is an adaptive semantic reasoning engine that receives a natural language query, which may contain one or more contexts. The query can be broken down into tokens or a set of tokens. A task search can be performed on the token or token set(s) to classify a particular query and/or context and retrieve one or more tasks. The token or token set(s) can be mapped into slots to retrieve one or more task result. A slot filling goodness may be determined that can include scoring each task search result and/or ranking the results in a different order than the order in which the tasks were retrieved. The token or token set(s), retrieved tasks, slot filling goodness, natural language query, context, search result score and/or result ranking can be feedback to the reasoning engine for further processing and/or machine learning.

摘要： A task framework and a semantic reasoning engine are combined to provide a scalable mechanism for dealing with extremely large numbers of widgets, allowing users to both find a widget and automatically fill-in whatever functionality is available on the widget. Calling applications are employed to obtain task information from each widget. The calling application also receives user queries that can be resolved by a widget. A task reasoning process based on an adaptive semantic reasoning engine utilizes the task information to select a widget best suited to respond to a user's query. The task reasoning process can also be employed to determine “best-guess” slot filling of the selected widget. The calling application can then invoke the selected widget and, if available, fill appropriate slots with information to facilitate user interaction with the selected widget. Instances can be client- and/or server-side based.

摘要： A task system and method are provided. The system provides an automated approach for task creation, maintenance and/or execution. The system includes a browser that receives search results and at least one task associated with a query from a search engine. The system further includes a browser helper object that binds to the browser at runtime. The browser helper object provides information associated with a user's action with respect to the search results and/or at least one task. The information can be employed as feedback to update model(s) (e.g., query classification model(s) and/or slot-filling model(s)) of a semantic reasoning component that retrieves task based, at least in part, upon user query(ies).

摘要： A form filler system and method are provided. The system can allow a user to fill out forms quickly using natural language. A user can navigate to a particular web site and type a natural language query into a text input box. Based, at least in part, upon the query, the system can automatically fill fields in a form associated with a web site. The system includes an input component that receives a natural language query from a user (e.g., a text input box). The system further includes a form filler engine that examines form(s) (e.g., web pages) and extracts the name(s) of input field(s) and possible inputs value(s), if any, in those fields. The form filler engine provides a way to extract the field name(s) from a web page and to fill in values of the form.
