  • Patent number: 11947909
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for determining a language of a text string are presented. A language detection model may be maintained. The language detection model may comprise identities and weights for initial and final consonants, identities and weights for prefixes and suffixes, and identities and weights for vowel sequences, where each identity is derived from a training corpus. The weights may correspond to a frequency of a text unit in the corpus. A text string may be received and a match score between the text string and the language of the language detection model may be determined. The match score may be based on initial and final consonant scores, prefix and suffix scores, and/or vowel sequence scores for each word in the text string. If the match score meets a threshold value a follow-up action associated with the language may be performed.

  • Patent number: 11947923
    Abstract: Implementations relate to managing multimedia content that is obtained by large language model(s) (LLM(s)) and/or generated by other generative model(s). Processor(s) of a system can: receive natural language (NL) based input that requests multimedia content, generate a response that is responsive to the NL based input, and cause the response to be rendered. In some implementations, and in generating the response, the processor(s) can process, using a LLM, LLM input to generate LLM output, and determine, based on the LLM output, at least multimedia content to be included in the response. Further, the processor(s) can evaluate the multimedia content to determine whether it should be included in the response. In response to determining that the multimedia content should not be included in the response, the processor(s) can cause the response, including alternative multimedia content or other textual content, to be rendered.

  • Patent number: 11853687
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a programmed computer system implemented via client-server Software as a Service (SaaS) techniques provides an interactive user interface for identifying specific portions of a digital document susceptible for review and improvement. A server computer may receive a representation of a digital document, such as an email, comprising words arranged into sentences arranged into paragraphs. An embodiment may tokenize a set of all sentences comprising the sequence of sentences into a document-specific vocabulary, then compute a corresponding first and second score for each sentence of the sequence of sentences. The first score may represent a calculated probability of semantic importance of the corresponding sentence to an overall meaning of the digital document. The second score may represent a calculated likelihood that the corresponding sentence will be read by a future reader of the digital document. An embodiment may identify key sentences using the first scores and second scores.
