  • Patent number: 12189930
    Abstract: An interaction method of audio-video segmentation and apparatus, and a device and a storage medium. The method includes: detecting whether a selected clip exists in a target audio-video; in response to the selected clip existing in the target audio-video, displaying a split button upon detecting that a pointer on a track of the target audio-video is located in the selected clip; and splitting the selected clip, in response to a trigger operation for the split button, based on an intersection position of the pointer and the selected clip. Compared with an interaction means in which a split button resides in a pointer of a track, mis-operations of audio-video splitting can be reduced to the greatest extent, and the usage experience of a user is improved to a certain extent.

  • Patent number: 12118295
    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.

  • Patent number: 12080091
    Abstract: A bipartite application implements a table auto-completion (TAC) algorithm on the client side and the server side. A client module runs a local model of the TAC algorithm on a user device and a server module runs a global model of the TAC algorithm on a server machine. The local model is continuously adapted through on-the-fly training, with as few as one negative example, to perform TAC on the client side, one document at a time. Knowledge thus learned by the local model is used to improve the global model on the server side. The global model can be utilized to automatically and intelligently extract table information from a large number of documents with significantly improved accuracy, requiring minimal human intervention even on complex tables.
