  • Patent number: 11373043
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of a present disclosure, a method for generating and utilizing a text fingerprint performed by a computing device is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: dividing text data into one or more segments based on a predetermined text segmentation algorithm; determining a mapping value assigned to one or more subsegments that form the divided segment based on a predetermined mapping algorithm; generating a coordinate value for each of the one or more segments based on the determined mapping value; and generating the virtual fingerprint having a phonetic feature for the text data based on the generated coordinate value. That is, whether a plurality of the text data are similar to each other can be easily determined, when the text data also has a unique virtual fingerprint based on a pronunciation, in the same way every person has a unique fingerprint.

  • Patent number: 11354024
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems provide user interfaces that allow users to review search results, pinpoint relevant portions of media content items where the identified objects are determined to be present, review detector performance and retrain detectors, providing search result feedback, and/or reviewing video monitoring results and analytics.

  • Patent number: 11314807
    Abstract: Systems and methods of comparing structured documents are disclosed. From/to source documents are first represented by their respective from/to XML forms based on a predetermined schema. One or more from nodes are selected from the from XML document to compare to one or more to nodes from the to XML document. The comparison employs a set of matching functions that may be selected based on the domain of the source documents. The matching functions may compare just the tags of XML elements, and/or their text contents and/or any of their relevant attributes. The matching may be exact or approximate. Each matching function computes a score which may be weighted. For each pair of from/to nodes, an overall match-score is computed based on the scores of the individual matching functions. If the match-score reaches a matching-threshold, the pair is determined to be a match and further matching is stopped. The techniques are extended for comparing multiple from documents to a to document.

  • Patent number: 11301639
    Abstract: A method and a system of using machine learning to automatically generate a reference data structure for a K-anonymity model. A vector space is generated from reference text data, where the vector space is defined by numerical vectors representative of semantic meanings of the reference text words. Input text words are converted into numerical vectors using the vector space. Word clusters are formed according to semantic similarity between the input text words, where the semantic similarity between pairs of input text words is represented by metric values determined from pairs of numerical vectors. The word clusters define nodes of the reference data structure. A text label is applied to each node of the reference data structure, where the text label is representative of the semantic meaning shared by elements of the word cluster.

  • Patent number: 11301631
    Abstract: A computing device has a display, one or more processors, and memory. The memory stores one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors. The computing device receives from a user a partial natural language input related to a data source. The partial natural language input includes a most recently entered first term. In response to receiving the first term, the computing device generates a first token that includes the first term. The computing device maps the first token to one or more analytical concepts in a lexicon of the data source. The computing device determines a first interpretation corresponding to the first token. The computing device also displays a first phrase corresponding to the first interpretation. The first interpretation includes the first term.

  • Patent number: 11295121
    Abstract: The electronic devices described herein are configured to enhance user experience associated with drawing or otherwise inputting shape data into the electronic devices. Shape input data is identified and matched against known shape patterns and, when a match is found, an entity associated with the shape is determined. The entity is converted into an annotation for rendering and/or displaying to the user. The shape identification, entity determination, and annotation conversion may all be based on one or more context elements to increase the accuracy of the shape interpretation. In particular, elements of conversations held via the electronic devices may be used as context for the shape interpretation. Further, machine learning techniques may be applied based on a variety of feedback data to improve the accuracy, speed, and/or performance of the shape interpretation process.
