DETAILED ACTION
This responds to Applicant’s Arguments/Remarks filed 02/26/2026. Claims 1-26 are now pending in this Application.
Response to Arguments
Applicant's arguments filed 2/27/2026 have been fully considered but they are not persuasive.
Applicant argues that “none of LI Arun and Hou whether considered individually or in combination, discloses at least the “query embedding transformation model that transforms the baseline query embeddings from the embedding model into modified query embedding”; “to transform the baseline query embeddings into the modified query embeddings based on a distance between the baseline query embeddings and the training query embeddings” as recited in claims 1, 11 and 21.
In response to Applicant’s argument, the examiner submits that Li discloses “after a search query has been received and converted into a text vector encoding, the text encoding may be transmitted to the matching and selection unit for processing… to compare the text encoding with the visual assets, the matching and selection unit may compute similarity scores between the text encoding and the visual asset encoding of the asset index. This may be done by using the cosine vector similarity metric to estimate the degree of similarity between a text encoding and visual asset encoding on a -1 (highly irrelevant) to a +1 (highly relevant) scale. The most highly ranked matches may then be a selected as the search result” (Par [0045]) (relevant and irrelevant is a distance between the query embeddings and the training query embedding).
Hou discloses “obtain updated query embedding of the query dependency tree graph using the query graph attention diffusion classify the query aspect term based on the updated query embedding of the query dependency tree graph to obtain predicted classification of the query aspect term (Par [0017]). Receiving a query sentence and a query aspect term from the query sentence, converting the query sentence into a query dependency tree graph… obtaining updated query embedding of the query dependency tree graph using the query graph attention diffusion, classifying the query aspect term based on the updated query embedding of the query dependency tree graph to obtain predicted classification of the query aspect term, and labeling the query aspect term with the predicted classification” (Par [0025]).
Therefore, in the combination of Li and Hou disclose this limitation.
The examiner respectfully maintained the rejection.
