  • Patent number: 11790227
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically scoring a constructed response using a neural network. In embodiments, a constructed response received by a processing system may be processed to divide the constructed response into multiple series of word tokens, wherein each word token includes a sequence of characters. The constructed response may be further processed to correct one or more spelling errors. The word tokens may be encoded to generate representation vectors for the constructed response. A set of nonlinear operations may be applied to the plurality of representation vectors in a neural network to generate a single vector output. A set of predetermined network weights may be applied to the vector output of the neural network to generate a scalar output for scoring the constructed response.

  • Patent number: 11727220
    Abstract: Techniques are described related to prior context retrieval with an automated assistant. In various implementations, instance(s) of free-form natural language input received from a user during a human-to-computer dialog session between the user and an automated assistant may be used to generate a first dialog context. The first dialog context may include intent(s) and slot value(s) associated with the intent(s). Similar operations may be performed with additional inputs to generate a second dialog context that is semantically distinct from the first dialog context. When a command is received from the user to transition the automated assistant back to the first dialog context, natural language output may be generated that conveys at least one or more of the intents of the first dialog context and one or more of the slot values of the first dialog context. This natural language output may be presented to the user.

  • Patent number: 11699297
    Abstract: An online system extracts information from non-fixed form documents. The online system receives an image of a form document and obtains a set of phrases and locations of the set of phrases on the form image. For at least one field, the online system determines key scores for the set of phrases. The online system identifies a set of candidate values for the field from the set of identified phrases and identifies a set of neighbors for each candidate value from the set of identified phrases. The online system determines neighbor scores, where a neighbor score for a candidate value and a respective neighbor is determined based on the key score for the neighbor and a spatial relationship of the neighbor to the candidate value. The online system selects a candidate value and a respective neighbor based on the neighbor score as the value and key for the field.

  • Patent number: 11694032
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to chatbot systems and, more particularly, to techniques for determining that an input utterance is representative of a task that a particular chatbot can perform, based on matching the input utterance to a template. Techniques are also described for generating templates based on example utterances that have been provided for a chatbot. In certain embodiments, an initial set of templates is generated based on example utterances. This initial set of templates is then refined using template generalization techniques, which can be performed at the word or sentence level to generate a final set of templates for use at runtime, when the templates are matched against user utterances. The final set of templates may include one or more generalized templates that were derived from the initial set of templates and may also include the initial set of templates.

  • Patent number: 11645458
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for automatically scrubbing sensitive data from text data comprising a sequence of words based on a negative word index. The negative word index may be constructed by obtaining articles that are publicly available and extracting words and word sequences from the articles. Statistical information associated with the word and word sequences from the articles may also be determined and included in the negative word index. To scrub sensitive data from the text data, a first sub-sequence of words is identified from the text data. The first sub-sequence of words may be determined to include sensitive information or not based on statistical information associated with the first sub-sequence of words within the negative word index. If the first sub-sequence of words includes sensitive information, the first sub-sequence of words may be removed from the text data.

  • Patent number: 11625538
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for automatic extraction of self-reported activities of an individual from a freestyle narrative text. Manual extraction of such self-reported activities of the individual from the freestyle narrative text over the period of time is a complex task and consume a significant amount of time. The present systems and methods utilize a predefined grammar pattern and a natural language processing technique to generate one or more candidate activity phrases, from the pre-processed input text posted by the individual. A deep learning based supervised classification model is utilized to automatically extract the one or more self-reported activities of the individual, from the one or more candidate activity phrases. Manual intervention and efforts of analyzing the freestyle narrative text to extract the self-reported activities are avoided. Longitudinal assessment of the self-reported activities may reveal routines and behavior of the individual.
