Application: Responding to task prompt on declarative code using language model (Patent ID: US20230418815A1)

The patent filed by Microsoft Corp. describes a system and method for generating responses to task prompts related to declarative code using a language model trained on imperative code. The system involves converting portions of declarative code and task prompts into imperative code, providing this as input to the language model, generating output imperative code, and converting it into a response to the task prompt. The system can be applied to various types of declarative code such as spreadsheets, databases, web pages, and collections of rules.

Additionally, the method includes steps for handling multiple results generated by the language model, such as filtering based on criteria like whether the result runs or user-specified criteria, and sorting based on a confidence score generated from metadata of the output imperative code tokens. The patent also covers a computer program product that, when executed, enables a computing system to perform the steps outlined in the method for generating responses to task prompts related to declarative code using the language model trained on imperative code.
