Abstract: Systems and methods for generating phonetic spelling variations of a given word based on locale-specific pronunciations. A phoneme-letter density model may be configured to identify a phoneme sequence corresponding to an input word, and to identify all character sequences that may correspond to an input phoneme sequence and their respective probabilities. The phoneme-phoneme error model may be configured to identify locale-specific alternative phoneme sequences that may correspond to a given phoneme sequence, and their respective probabilities. Using these two models, a processing system may be configured to generate, for a given input word, a list of alternative character sequences that may correspond to the input word based on locale-specific pronunciations, and/or a probability distribution representing how likely each alternative character sequence is to correspond to the input word.

Abstract: A technique for instance-specific feature-based cross-document sentiment aggregation includes analyzing input data to determine an entity referenced in the input data. One or more salient features of the entity are identified. Multiple documents that reference the entity are located. The salient features in each of the multiple documents are identified. Respective sentiment values are assigned to each of the salient features identified in the multiple documents. Respective sub-graphs are created for each of the multiple documents. The sub-graphs specify the sentiment values assigned to each of the salient features identified in an associated one of the multiple documents. The assigned sentiment values for each of the salient features are aggregated based on the sub-graphs. Finally, output data that is associated with the input data is generated. The output data provides an indication of the aggregated sentiment value for each of the salient features.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for deep learning based unsupervised event learning for economic indicator predictions are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes extracting multiple events from a collection of documents; determining characteristics of the extracted events, wherein the characteristics comprise (i) one or more actions occurring within each event, (ii) one or more actors participating in each event, and (iii) one or more objects affected by each event; deriving structured data, related to an economic indicator value to be predicted, from multiple data sources; combining items of the derived structured data into one or more groups based on (i) semantic similarity of the items and (ii) a temporal aspect attributed to each of the items; and generating a prediction for the economic indicator value based on a comparison of the one or more groups to the characteristics of each of the extracted events.
