  • Patent number: 12682171
    Abstract: A computer-implemented process for updating an electronic document includes the following operations. Using a preprocessor, preprocessing is performed on the electronic document to generate a computer data structure. The computer data structure is evaluated using a word sense disambiguation (WSD) engine and a deep neural network to determine a context of a sentence within the electronic document. Based upon the context, a determination is made that a word within the sentence is a word of interest. The sentence is rewritten using a mitigation engine and a large language model to generate a revised sentence that does not include the word of interest. A determination is made that the revised sentence does not include any other word of interest; and the electronic document is updated to include the revised sentence.

  • Patent number: 12675648
    Abstract: A language model training apparatus obtains a target sentence including a sequence of a word that is a known word or a new word. The apparatus generates position information of a new word included in the target sentence and a token sequence that is a sequence of an identifier of the word included in the target sentence. The token sequence includes a first token sequence for a teacher model and a second token sequence for a student model. The first token sequence and the second token sequence are different in at least some of a processed word. The apparatus updates a parameter of the student model utilizing knowledge distillation from the teacher model to the student model based on the position information, the first token sequence, and the second token sequence.

  • Patent number: 12670332
    Abstract: A conversational branch data prediction system predicts conversational branch data that can be used in automated conversational services (e.g., “chatbots”). The conversational branch data prediction system predicts the conversational branch data based on interactions with multiple sections across multiple webpages of a website, such as sections that include particular portions of text on webpages and omit additional portions of the text. For each section, the conversational branch data prediction system determines a vector embedding of text data in the section and a topic. Based on event metrics data, the conversational branch data prediction system identifies interactions with a particular subset of the sections having a particular topic. A trained machine-learning dialogue model identifies conversational text data correlated with vector embeddings associated with the particular subset of sections.

  • Patent number: 12658187
    Abstract: A voice query is received via an input to a virtual assistant from a user. The virtual assistant determines a media context from first media content, the media context being colocated and contemporaneous with the voice query. The voice query is processed to generate a textual query and to identify a keyword from the voice query, and a response content provider is selected based on the keyword and the media context. The textual query and the media context are communicated to the response content provider via a network interface. Query response data is received from the response content provider via the network interface, the query response data comprising voice data. The virtual assistant then generates, at an output, a query response based on the query response data.

  • Patent number: 12639531
    Abstract: A system for increasing the accuracy in summarization techniques is disclosed. The system generates a set of summaries for text. The system determines a label for each summary based on a set of composite metrics. The label for the summary indicates the truthfulness and faithfulness of the summary with respect to the text. The system determines that more than a threshold number of the set of composite metrics indicate that a first summary is assigned with a first label. In response, the system adds the first summary paired with the text as a positive sample to a dataset. The system determines that more than a threshold number of composite metrics indicate that a second summary is assigned with a second label. In response, the system adds the second summary paired with the text as a negative sample to the dataset. The system trains a summarization algorithm with the dataset.

  • Patent number: 12632659
    Abstract: A computer-implemented, machine learning method for generating explainable text summaries includes extracting a subset of sentences from an input document as an extractive summary and adding context to the extracted sentences to generate a prompt. A fluent summary is generated by using the prompt as input to a generative language model. Source information for a sentence from the fluent summary is determined by mapping the sentence from the fluent summary to a sentence in the extractive summary and the sentence from the extractive summary to a sentence from the input document. A transparent summary view is generated showing the sentence from the fluent summary along with the source information from the extractive summary and the input document for display on a user interface. The method has applications including, but not limited to medical AI, public safety and other machine learning applications for reliable and explainable document summarization.

  • Patent number: 12596885
    Abstract: A computer-implemented labeling technique generates a task description that describes a labeling task to be given to a language model. The technique then sends a prompt to the language model, which includes the task description and a particular item to be labeled. The technique receives a response provided by the language model in response to the prompt, which specifies a class assigned by the language model to the item. In some implementations, the task description specifies a group of suggested classes to be used in classifying the particular item. The task description also invites the language model to specify another class upon a finding that none of the group of suggested classes applies to the item. The technique also allows a user to stop and restart a labeling run at any point in the labeling run. Other aspects of the technique include consensus processing and weight updating.
