Patent number: 11790184Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide natural language processing (NLP) systems and methods that provide a customized summarization of scientific or technical articles, which disentangles background information from new contributions, and summarizes the background information or the new information (or both) based on a user's preference. Specifically, the systems and methods utilize machine learning classifiers to classify portions of sentences within the article as containing background information or as containing a new contribution attributable to the article. The systems and methods then incorporate the background information in the summary or incorporate the new contribution in the summary and output the summary. In this way, the systems and methods can provide summaries of scientific literatures, which largely accelerates literature review in scientific fields.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: SALESFORCE.COM, INC.Inventors: Hiroaki Hayashi, Wojciech Kryscinski

Patent number: 11790885Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for natural language processing are provided. A first text corpus that includes semi-structured content that includes hierarchical nodes may be received. Some of the hierarchical nodes may be masked. Node embeddings and level embeddings may be generated from the semi-structured content of the first text corpus and from the masked hierarchical nodes. The node embeddings and the level embeddings may be included in a bi-directional transformer model. The bi-directional transformer model may be trained on the first text corpus by reducing loss from the bi-directional transformer model predicting the masked hierarchical nodes.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Haggai Roitman, Yosi Mass, Doron Cohen, Jatin Ganhotra

Patent number: 11763081Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a fine-grained finding descriptor generation computing tool that automatically generates fine-grained labels for downstream computer system operations. The mechanisms process medical report content based on a core finding lexicon, to extract core finding instances from the medical report content. The mechanisms execute, for each core finding instance, automated computer NLP operations that generate a parse tree for the portion of the medical report content corresponding to the core finding instance, perform phrasal grouping on the parse tree to thereby associate one or more modifiers of core findings specified in the portion of the medical report content with the core finding instance, and generate a fine-grained finding descriptor data structure for the core finding instance based on the association of one or more modifiers of the core finding with the core finding instance.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Inventor: Tanveer Syeda-Mahmood

Patent number: 11763085Abstract: In an embodiment, the disclosed technologies are capable of detecting a tone in text. A detected tone may be used to inform a decision made by and/or output produced by a grammatical error correction system. A set of candidate tones may be presented to a user for feedback. User feedback on the candidate tones may be used to improve subsequent tone detections.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Grammarly, Inc.Inventors: Dimitris Alikaniotis, Stanislav Levental, Alex Shevchenko

Patent number: 11727210Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for data-to-text generation. The embodiments receive input data that includes a resource description framework (RDF) triples in an RDF graph. A data-to-text generation system generates position aware embeddings, including position embeddings, triple role embeddings, and tree-level embeddings. Using the position aware embeddings and the RDF graph, the data-to-text generation system generates a textual description for the RDF graph.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Salesforce.com, Inc.Inventors: Qingyun Wang, Nazneen Rajani, Semih Yavuz, Xi Lin

Patent number: 11704506Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic evaluation of the quality of NLG outputs. In some aspects of the technology, a learned evaluation model may be pretrained first using NLG model pretraining tasks, and then with further pretraining tasks using automatically generated synthetic sentence pairs. In some cases, following pretraining, the evaluation model may be further fine-tuned using a set of human-graded sentence pairs, so that it learns to approximate the grades allocated by the human evaluators. In some cases, following fine-tuning, the learned evaluation model may be distilled into a student model.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Thibault Sellam, Dipanjan Das, Ankur Parikh

Patent number: 11687808Abstract: In an approach to AI explaining for natural language processing, responsive to receiving an input text for a machine learning model, an output is generated from the machine learning model. A plurality of alteration techniques are applied to the input text to generate one or more alternate outputs, where each alternate output corresponds to an alteration technique. A variation rate of the alternate output is calculated for each alteration technique. A preferred technique of generating neighboring data of the input text is generated based on a comparison of the variation rate of the alternate output for each alteration technique.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Takumi Yanagawa, Fumihiko Terui, Kensuke Matsuoka, Sayaka Furukawa

Patent number: 11663418Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating dynamic conversational responses using machine learning models. The dynamic conversational responses may be generated in real time and reflect the likely goals and/or intents of a user. The machine learning model may provide these features by monitoring one or more user actions and/or lengths of time between one or more user actions during conversational interactions.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Victor Alvarez Miranda, Rui Zhang
