  • Patent number: 11010564
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for fine-grained affective states prediction. The computer-implemented method creates training data comprising content conveying emotions. The method creates a trained model by performing an emotion vector space model training process using the training data to train a model using a feed forward neural network that converts discrete emotions into emotion vector representations. The trained model can be used to predict fine-grained affective states for text conveying an emotion.

  • Patent number: 10997370
    Abstract: Systems and methods for domain classification in natural language processing based on domains are disclosed. The method includes generating a trigram corpus for the purpose of classification based on a trigram analysis of a domain model containing a hierarchical ontology and semantic construction that maps patterns of semantic tokens to syntactic patterns. An input string is parsed within each domain, tokenized in each domain. The resulting trigrams for the input text in each domain are looked up in the corresponding trigram corpus to determine the relevancy of each domain to the input text. The input string is thus classified based on the relevancy determination. The systems and methods avoids having to rely on existing annotated domain corpora for classification and allows for fast regeneration of the classifier when domain models are under frequent update and development.

  • Patent number: 10997375
    Abstract: Systems for selective data capture and translation are provided. In some examples, a system, may receive data from one or more systems, networks, applications, devices, or the like. The data may include data associated with one or more issues occurring at the system, network, application, device, or the like. In some examples, a plurality of data containers may be generated. In some arrangements, each data container may be associated with a different issue, type of issue, system, application, or the like. The data containers may be generated in response to receiving data associated with an issue or may be pre-generated. In some arrangements, the received data may be evaluated (e.g., using machine learning) to determine whether it should be added to one or more data containers of the plurality of data containers. If so, the data may be added and, if not the data may be preserved and/or further evaluated to determine whether it should be added to a different data container.

  • Patent number: 10922492
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to assist an author in creating content variations of a given input text to better suit the mood or the affect preferences of the target audience. Affect distribution in the content is utilized to capture these psycholinguistic preferences. According to one embodiment, in a first phase the optimal/idea psycholinguistic preference for text content aimed at a particular audience segment is determined. In a second phase, a given text content is modified to align to a target language distribution, which was determined in the first phase. In one example case, word level replacement, insertions and deletions are executed to generate a modified and coherent version of the input text. The output text thus reflects the psycholinguistic requirements of the audience.
