  • Patent number: 11347946
    Abstract: Techniques for using noisy-robust discourse trees to determine a rhetorical relationship between sentences. In an example, a rhetoric classification application creates a noisy-robust communicative discourse tree. The application accesses accesses a first communicative discourse tree derived from a first sentence, a third sentence, and a fourth sentence and a second communicative discourse tree derived from a second sentence, the third sentence, and the fourth sentence. The application determines that syntactic parse trees cannot be generated for the first sentence and the second sentence. The application identifies a common rhetorical relationship between the first communicative discourse tree and the second communicative discourse tree. The application removes an elementary discourse unit that does not correspond to the common rhetorical relationship from the first communicative discourse tree and the second communicative discourse tree.

  • Patent number: 11314922
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating regulatory content requirement descriptions is disclosed and involves receiving requirement data including a plurality of requirements including hierarchical information extracted from regulatory content. The method involves identifying parent requirements based on the existence of child requirements on a lower hierarchical level and generating requirement pairs including the parent requirement and at least one child requirement. The method also involves feeding each of the pairs through a conjunction classifier which has been trained to generate a classification output indicative of the pair being not a conjunction (NC), a single requirement conjunction (CSR), or a multiple requirement conjunction (CMR). The method involves generating a set of requirement descriptions based on the classification output generated for each parent requirement.

  • Patent number: 11263250
    Abstract: A recurrent neural network (RNN) method implemented on a computer system is used to produce summaries of unstructured text generated by multiple networks of individuals interacting over time by encoding the unstructured text into intermediate representations and decoding the intermediate representations into summaries of each network. Parameter data for the RNN is obtained by using multiple different versions of the same source texts to train the computer system. The method and computer system can be used to identify which of the networks match a query by determining which network generates the query with low or lowest cost.

  • Patent number: 11250221
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for contextual interpretation of a Japanese word are provided. A first set of characters representing Japanese words is received. The first set of characters are received is input to a neural network. The neural network is trained to processes characters based on bi-directional context interpretation. The first set of characters is processed by the neural network through a plurality of learning layers that process the first set of characters in an order of the first set of characters and in a reverse order to determine semantical meanings of the characters in the first set of characters. An alphabet representation of at least one character of the first set of characters representing a Japanese word is output. The alphabet representation corresponds to a semantical meaning of the at least one character within the first set of characters.

  • Patent number: 11238232
    Abstract: Present embodiment include a prosody subsystem of a natural language understanding (NLU) framework that is designed to analyze collections of written messages for various prosodic cues to break down the collection into a suitable level of granularity (e.g., into episodes, sessions, segments, utterances, and/or intent segments) for consumption by other components of the NLU framework, enabling operation of the NLU framework. These prosodic cues may include, for example, source prosodic cues that are based on the author and the conversation channel associated with each message, temporal prosodic cues that are based on a respective time associated with each message, and/or written prosodic cues that are based on the content of each message. For example, to improve the domain specificity of the agent automation system, intent segments extracted by the prosody subsystem may be consumed by a training process for a ML-based structure subsystem of the NLU framework.
