  • Publication number: 20220382794
    Abstract: Embodiments provide an apparatus, method and computer program product for generating validated attribute descriptors related to natural language processing. Natural language processing is performed to determine a set of attribute descriptors associated with textual information. An attribute descriptor cleaning process is then performed with respect to the set of attribute descriptors to determine a subset of attribute descriptors. Each attribute descriptor of the subset of attribute descriptors is compared to an attribute descriptor record to identify one or more common attribute descriptors. Additionally, a validated list of attribute descriptors is generated by removing the one or more common attribute descriptors from the subset of attribute descriptors.

  • Patent number: 11334907
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed to improve utilization of fine print for a document. An example method includes receiving information identifying a location and a domain associated with the document, and identifying, based on the received location and domain, a set of fine print clause data structures relevant to the location and the domain. The method further includes transmitting an indication of the set of identified fine print clause data structures to the developer device, and receiving an indication of a selection of a subset of the set of fine print data structures. Finally, the method includes causing generation of a visual representation of the document that displays fine print clauses corresponding to the subset, wherein the location of the fine print clauses in the visual representation is based on a categorization of the fine print clause data structures corresponding to the fine print clauses.

  • Publication number: 20220005080
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for programmatically generating and/or revising deal offers for a merchant based on one or more merchant self-service indicators. In providing such functionality, the system can be configured to, for example, facilitate registration and verification of merchant identities, monitor and analyze various deal offers for merchants with similar merchant self-service indicators, that enable the system to determine the relative successfulness of a deal offer for a merchant and/or category of merchant. In some embodiments, the system may be further configured to revise the deal offer programmatically and/or upon receiving the merchant's approval of the programmatically generated proposed edits to the deal offer.
