  • Patent number: 11947618
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for maintaining a collection service for websites. A user preference for content desired to be viewed by the user subscribed to the collection service is acquired. Content may then be searched and reviewed both within and outside a website subscribed to the service by the collection service to identify the content of interest to the user using an artificial intelligence system based on the acquired user preference and a rule set. The artificial intelligence system is a learning system that learns the content of interest to the user based on the user's actions. The identified content of interest is then presented to the user in a container within the website subscribed to the service, where the container is a “reusable construct” in that it may appear to the user within any subscribed website.

  • Patent number: 11675978
    Abstract: An approach is provided for improving a named entity recognition. Using a multi-label classification in a neural network, a sub-entity is identified in an original sentence. First and second labels are determined indicating first and second candidate types of the sub-entity. First and second replacement sentences are generated. The first replacement sentence replaces the sub-entity in the original sentence with a first sub-entity of the first candidate type. The second replacement sentence replaces the sub-entity in the original sentence with a second sub-entity of the second candidate type. First and second confidence scores for the first and second replacement sentences are determined. Based on the first confidence score exceeding the second confidence score by more than a threshold amount, the neural network is retrained by selecting the first instead of the second candidate type as the sub-entity type.

  • Patent number: 11645250
    Abstract: Data stored in large scale systems often includes significant amounts of data and metadata. The data and metadata provide valuable structures for efficient data organization and analysis. However, when the data or metadata is missing, the missing data or metadata can cause disruption in organization and analysis efforts. A system with interactive user interfaces for enrichment of missing data or metadata is described. The system provides various dynamic filters to detect and identify data items with missing data or metadata. The system also provides for intuitive and efficient navigation of data items for determination of the missing data or metadata. Via its user interfaces, the system enables users to supply, or enrich, the missing data or metadata. Additionally, the user interfaces enable users to dynamically change available data or metadata values used for enrichment. Also, the system generates enriched output data sets, which may facilitate analysis of processes and systems.

  • Patent number: 11205045
    Abstract: A process for context-based autocompletion suggestion includes, based on initiating an online chat by a user of a computer system, the chat having as participants the user and a target participant, providing participant information that identifies the participants. The process maintains at the computer system a relation-based autocompletion model for use in word autocompletion suggesting. The maintained relation-based autocompletion model is initially a template model based on to relationship between chat participants, and is updated over time via training. The process suggests to the user words for autocompletion in the user's composition of chat messages, the suggested words being selected as suggestions based on the maintained relation-based autocompletion model. Maintaining the relation-based autocompletion model includes sending chat messages as training data to further train the autocompletion model.

  • Patent number: 11093709
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions which are executed by the at least one processor and configure the processor to implement a document processing system. A spell check confidence component executing within the document processing system records a mapping of misspelled words to corrected words for set of documents. The spell check confidence component generates an error-to-correction frequency model based on the mapping. A parser executing within the document processing system parses an input document to extract words in the error-to-correction frequency model. The spell check confidence component calculates a precision score for each word in the input document found in the error-to-correction frequency model. The precision score represents a probability that the extracted word is spelled correctly as intended in the input document.
