  • Patent number: 11960844
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention involve discourse trees. In some aspects, a system creates a discourse tree by identifying elementary discourse units in text. The discourse tree includes nodes, each nonterminal node representing a rhetorical relationship between two elementary discourse units and each terminal node associated with an elementary discourse unit. The system identifies, in a reference sentence of the discourse tree, a rhetorical relation of type elaboration or joint. The system selects a candidate sentence having a highest syntactic generalization score of a set of syntactic generalization scores. The system identifies a semantic relation corresponding to the candidate sentence. The semantic relation corresponds to a word in the candidate sentence and defines a role in the candidate sentence.

  • Patent number: 11947622
    Abstract: The general problem of pattern change discovery between high-dimensional data sets is addressed by considering the notion of the principal angles between the subspaces is introduced to measure the subspace difference between two high-dimensional data sets. Current methods either mainly focus on magnitude change detection of low-dimensional data sets or are under supervised frameworks. Principal angles bear a property to isolate subspace change from the magnitude change. To address the challenge of directly computing the principal angles, matrix factorization is used to serve as a statistical framework and develop the principle of the dominant subspace mapping to transfer the principal angle based detection to a matrix factorization problem. Matrix factorization can be naturally embedded into the likelihood ratio test based on the linear models. The method may be unsupervised and addresses the statistical significance of the pattern changes between high-dimensional data sets.

  • Patent number: 11900611
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a class-agnostic object segmentation system that automatically detects, segments, and selects objects within digital images irrespective of object semantic classifications. For example, the object segmentation system utilizes a class-agnostic object segmentation neural network to segment each pixel in a digital image into an object mask. Further, in response to detecting a selection request of a target object, the object segmentation system utilizes a corresponding object mask to automatically select the target object within the digital image. In some implementations, the object segmentation system utilizes a class-agnostic object segmentation neural network to detect and automatically select a partial object in the digital image in response to a target object selection request.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention detect deceptive or fake content in text. In an example, a computer system generates, from text a discourse tree that represents rhetorical relationships between fragments of the text. The computer system generates a communicative discourse tree from the discourse tree. The computer system identifies a number of non-trivial rhetorical relations associated with the nonterminal nodes in the communicated discourse tree and, for each terminal edge having a communicative action, a level of nesting of the communicative action. The computer system derives, from the number of non-trivial rhetorical relations and the levels of nesting of the identified communicative actions, a complexity score that is indicative of a level of deception in the text.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method and system for extracting information from images of one or more templatized documents. A knowledge graph with a fixed schema based on background knowledge is used to capture spatial and semantic relationships of entities present in scanned document and an adaptive lattice-based approach based on formal concepts analysis (FCA) is used to determine a similarity metric that utilizes both spatial and semantic information to determine if the structure of the scanned document image adheres to any of the known document templates. If a known document template whose structure is closely matching the structure of the scanned document is detected, then an inductive rule learning based approach is used to learn symbolic rules to extract information present in scanned document image and if a new document template is detected, then future scanned document images belonging to new document template are automatically processed using the learnt rules.

    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards validating content selection graphs for use in an in-memory content selection graph data store. When a content selection graph data is generated, the graph nodes can correspond to prebuilt response data. The response data for any of the nodes can be verified against rules based on the type of a node, for example, as well as based on client-specific information for types of clients. The overall validation process can validate the content selection graph for subsequent use, can result in errors or warnings being logged (which may or may not render the graph unusable, e.g., depending on severity), or can fail the content selection graph. If validated, the content selection graph can be used to rapidly return response data when content from the graph is requested.

  • Patent number: 11172911
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the quality of ultrasound images made up of a combination of multiple sub-images include giving more weight to sub-image information that is more likely to improve a combined image quality. Weighting factor information may be determined from the geometry (e.g., angle or path length) of a location of one or more specific transducer elements relative to a specific point within a region of interest or a region of an image. In some embodiments, any given pixel (or other discrete region of an image) may be formed by combining received echo data in a manner that gives more weight to data that is likely to improve image quality, and/or discounting or ignoring data that is likely to detract from image quality (e.g., by introducing noise or by increasing point spread).

  • Patent number: 10423693
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, computer program product, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to parallel process hierarchical data. Hierarchical data is obtained. The hierarchical data is organized in a relationship graph having two or more nodes (consisting of parent nodes that are dependent on child nodes). The relationship graph requires bottom-up processing. Cycles are identified in the relationship graph. The relationship graph is leveled by traversing the graph and assigning all graph nodes into levels. The hierarchical data is processed by parallel processing the nodes in a first level of the one or more levels before parallel processing the nodes in a subsequent level.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for entering text on a computer screen with a virtual keyboard and limited space, such as would be found on a mobile device such as smartphone, tablet, handheld computer or an automobile dashboard, or an appliance with a small screen. The method requires a sequence of events in which text is selected on the virtual keyboard, and a last key selected generates a new limited set of responsive keys, potentially based on word completion word fragments, for display on the screen, allowing responsive keys to be dynamically larger, variable in shape, or positioned on the virtual keyboard based on priority and availability of adjacent space to maximize the ease of use of the highest priority responsive keys. The user selects one of the responsive keys to partially complete or complete text entry.
