  • Patent number: 11966703
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating a replacement sentence with the same or similar meaning but a different sentiment than an input sentence. The method generally includes receiving a request for a replacement sentence and iteratively determining a next word of the replacement sentence word-by-word based on an input sentence. Iteratively determining the next word generally includes evaluating a set of words of the input sentence using a language model configured to output candidate sentences and evaluating the candidate sentences using a sentiment model configured to output sentiment scores for the candidates sentences. Iteratively determining the next word further includes calculating convex combinations for the candidate sentences and selecting an ending word of one of the candidate sentences as the next word of the replacement sentence. The method further includes transmitting the replacement sentence in response to the request for the replacement sentence.

  • Patent number: 11947908
    Abstract: Described herein are system and method embodiments to improve word representation learning. Embodiments of a probabilistic prior may seamlessly integrate statistical disentanglement with word embedding. Different from previous deterministic methods, word embedding may be taken as a probabilistic generative model, and it enables imposing a prior that may identify independent factors generating word representation vectors. The probabilistic prior not only enhances the representation of word embedding, but also improves the model's robustness and stability. Furthermore, embodiments of the disclosed method may be flexibly plugged in various word embedding models. Extensive experimental results show that embodiments of the presented method may improve word representation on different tasks.

  • Patent number: 11934795
    Abstract: A target set of texts, for training and/or evaluating a text classification model, is augmented using insertions into a base text within the original target set. In an embodiment, an expanded text, including the base text and an insertion word, must satisfy one or more inclusion criteria in order to be added to the target set. The inclusion criteria may require that the expanded text constitutes a successful attack on the classification model, the expanded text has a satisfactory perplexity score, and/or the expanded text is verified as being valid. In an embodiment, if a number of expanded texts added into the target set is below a threshold number, insertions are made into an expanded text (which was generated based on the base text). Inclusion criteria are evaluated against the doubly-expanded text to determine whether to add the doubly-expanded text to the target set.
