  • Publication number: 20230133583
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are described for performing semantic text searches. A semantic text-searching solution uses a machine learning system (such as a deep learning system) to determine associations between the semantic meanings of words. These associations are not limited by the spelling, syntax, grammar, or even definition of words. Instead, the associations can be based on the context in which characters, words, and/or phrases are used in relation to one another. In response to detecting a request to locate text within an electronic document associated with a keyword, the semantic text-searching solution can return strings within the document that have matching and/or related semantic meanings or contexts, in addition to exact matches (e.g., string matches) within the document. The semantic text-searching solution can then output an indication of the matching strings.

  • Patent number: 11232255
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that collect and analyze annotation performance data to generate digital annotations for evaluating and training automatic electronic document annotation models. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems provide electronic documents to annotators based on annotator topic preferences. The disclosed systems then identify digital annotations and annotation performance data such as a time period spent by an annotator in generating digital annotations and annotator responses to digital annotation questions. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize the identified digital annotations and the annotation performance data to generate a final set of reliable digital annotations. Additionally, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems provide the final set of digital annotations for utilization in training a machine learning model to generate annotations for electronic documents.

  • Patent number: 11222167
    Abstract: The disclosure describes one or more embodiments of a structured text summary system that generates structured text summaries of digital documents based on an interactive graphical user interface. For example, the structured text summary system can collaborate with users to create structured text summaries of a digital document based on automatically generating document tags corresponding to the digital document, determining segments of the digital document that correspond to a selected document tag, and generating structured text summaries for those document segments.
