  • Patent number: 11755823
    Abstract: Techniques for obtaining electronic signatures via word processing applications are described. One approach utilizes a code module, also referred to as a “markup module,” that executes within a word processing application and that facilitates the preparation of a document for electronic signature. A user can operate the word processing application together with the markup module in order to add signature tag markers to the document and to provide recipient information about intended signers, such as names and email addresses. Once the document has been prepared, the code module transmits the document (including the added signature tag markers) and the recipient information to a digital transaction service. The digital transaction service then manages the signing of the document, such as by notifying the recipient, receiving the recipient's signature and securely storing the signature in association with the document.

  • Patent number: 11727062
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a mechanism that encodes a text document into a geometric graph, where the nodes of the graph represent bits of text from the document and the edges of the graph represent relationships among the bits of text as laid out on a page of the document. Each node of the graph is encoded into a vector representation that contains information of the node and the local sub-graph (including the node and all edges branching out from the node). In this way, the vector representations of the document contain information of the inner-relationship between words, sentences and paragraphs of the document, instead of just mapping the text in the document as a string of input tokens to a vector representation.

  • Patent number: 11720695
    Abstract: An electronic publication (e.g., an electronic document, e-book, e-pub, etc.) is created and edited using content provided by at least one source. In some aspects, a server-based (e.g., web-based) environment enables multiple authors to seamlessly corroborate to create an electronic publication. In some aspects, a server-based environment enables content to be automatically or manually in a non-linear manner (e.g., designing pages while writing content, and vice versa, or one before the other) become incorporated into an electronic digitally interactive book and print-ready publication (e.g. books, novels, yearbooks, textbooks, comic books, etc.). In some aspects, a server-based environment provides new and innovative ways to incorporate subscriptions and advertisements into an electronic publication, and to display these advertisements in the electronic publication.

  • Patent number: 11694460
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer readable media for natural language processing and text analytics of audit documentation for prioritization and selection. Text extraction and conversion techniques can analyze documents corresponding to an audit request to generate a dataset. A two-layer model can produce word embeddings to reconstruct linguistic contexts of words in the dataset. An embedding layer can map each word, and a classifier layer can generate a similarity score for each word. A three-layer model can determine weights of documents in the dataset. A ranking layer can obtain a document rank value for each document. An initial layer and successive layers can receive feature vectors and document rank values to assign weights to the documents. Based on the document weights and the audit request, the natural language processing and text analytics can determine an audit likelihood for each document to prioritize and select subsets of the documents.

  • Patent number: 11645459
    Abstract: Techniques for computer-generated conversation are disclosed. In an example, a method identifies text postings from a conversation. The method creates, for each text fragment of each text posting, a syntactic tree and a discourse tree. The method creates parse thickets, each parse thicket including the syntactic tree and discourse tree of a unique pair of text postings. The method extracts, from each parse thicket, a common text segment and obtains a set of candidate search results by providing the common text segments to a search engine.

  • Patent number: 11537821
    Abstract: In response to running at least one testing phrase on a previously trained text classifier and identifying a separate predicted classification label based on a score calculated for each respective at least one testing phrase, a text classifier decomposes extracted features summed in the score into word-level scores for each word in the at least one testing phrase. The text classifier assigns a separate heatmap value to each of the word-level scores, each respective separate heatmap value reflecting a weight of each word-level score. The text classifier outputs the separate predicted classification label and each separate heatmap value reflecting the weight of each word-level score for defining a heatmap identifying the contribution of each word in the at least one testing phrase to the separate predicted classification label for facilitating client evaluation of text classification anomalies.
