A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11954436B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for generating abstract knowledge graphs from textual conversations between users and bots or other users. The method involves creating manifests by pruning the knowledge graph to eliminate redundant information, segmenting the pruned graph into multiple manifests, and converting these manifests into situation images based on predicted probabilities from machine learning models. The system also includes steps for preprocessing conversations, removing tags, evaluating confidence levels, discarding ambiguous tags, and summarizing situation-based text after segmentation.

Furthermore, the patent describes a computer program and system embodying the method, with additional functionalities such as detecting animate or inanimate entities, initializing manifests with sentences, evaluating sentence links, and summarizing situation-based text. The program and system also involve data enrichment models, name entity recognition models, and syntactic information to identify entities, along with event analysis modules for extracting events information and validating against event chains. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to processing textual conversations, generating knowledge graphs, and creating situation images to enhance user-bot interactions based on machine learning predictions.
