Abstract: Systems and methods for text simplification are described. Embodiments of the present disclosure identify a simplified text that includes original information from a complex text and additional information that is not in the complex text. Embodiments then compute an entailment score for each sentence of the simplified text using a neural network, wherein the entailment score indicates whether the sentence of the simplified text includes information from a sentence of the complex text corresponding to the sentence of the simplified text. Then, embodiments generate a modified text based on the entailment score, the simplified text, and the complex text, wherein the modified text includes the original information and excludes the additional information. Embodiments may then present the modified text to a user via a user interface.

Abstract: Certain embodiments involve using a gated convolutional encoder-decoder framework for applying affective characteristic labels to input text. For example, a method for identifying an affect label of text with a gated convolutional encoder-decoder model includes receiving, at a supervised classification engine, extracted linguistic features of an input text and a latent representation of an input text. The method also includes predicting, by the supervised classification engine, an affect characterization of the input text using the extracted linguistic features and the latent representation. Predicting the affect characterization includes normalizing and concatenating a linguistic feature representation generated from the extracted linguistic features with the latent representation to generate an appended latent representation. The method also includes identifying, by a gated convolutional encoder-decoder model, an affect label of the input text using the predicted affect characterization.

Abstract: A text style transfer system is described that generates different stylized versions of input text by rewriting the input text according to a target style. To do so, the text style transfer system employs a variational autoencoder to derive separate content and style representations for the input text, where the content representation specifies semantic information conveyed by the input text and the style representation specifies one or more style attributes expressed by the input text. The style representation using counterfactual reasoning to identify different transfer strengths for applying the target style to the input text. Each transfer strength represents a minimum change to the input text that achieves a different expression of the target style. The transfer strengths are then used to generate style representation variants, which are each concatenated with the content representation of the input text to generate the plurality of different stylized versions of the input text.

Abstract: A content generator system receives a request to generate content for a target entity, and one or more keywords. The content generator system retrieves, for the target entity, a current stage identifier linking the target entity to a current stage within a multi-stage objective. The content generator system generates an input vector including the current stage identifier, a target stage identifier, a token embedding comprising the one or more keywords, and a position embedding for each of the one or more keywords, the target stage identifier associated with a target stage within the multi-stage objective different from the current stage. The content generator system generates output text content for the target entity by applying a generative transformer network to the input vector. The content generator system transmits the output text content to a computing device associated with the target entity.

Abstract: A digital attribution system is described to generate predictions of word attributions from subject data, e.g., titles, subject lines of emails, and so on. To do so, an attribution score is first generated by the digital attribution system that describe an amount to which respective words in the subject data cause performance of a corresponding outcome. The attribution scores are then used by the digital attribution system to generate representations for display in a user interface for respective words in the subject data and may also be used to generate attribution recommendations of changes to be made to the subject data.

Abstract: Certain embodiments involve using machine-learning methods to generate a recommendation for sequential content items. A method involves accessing a content item associated with an interaction stage in an online environment. A stage graph, which includes a ratio of interactions, of the content item is generated. An additional content item that includes additional stage-transition content is identified. A sequencing function outcome indicating a portion of the ratio of interactions is determined. A transition probability of receiving an interaction with stage-transition content and an additional interaction with the additional stage-transition content is calculated. A content provider system is caused to provide a recipient device with interactive content that includes the additional content item.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating an output sentence from an input sentence by replacing an input tone of the input sentence with a target tone. For example, an input sentence is parsed to separate semantic meaning of the input sentence from the tone of the input sentence. The input tone is indicative of one or more characteristics of the input sentence, such as politeness, formality, humor, anger, etc. in the input sentence, and thus, a measure of the input tone is a measure of such characteristics of the input sentence. An output sentence is generated based on the semantic meaning of the input sentence and a target tone, such that the output sentence and the input sentence have similar semantic meaning, and the output sentence has the target tone that is different from the input tone of the input sentence.
