  • Assessment of speech consumability by text analysis
    Patent number: 10909986
    Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: obtaining an input text for an output speech. The number of words and syllables are counted in each sentence, and a mean sentence length of the input text is calculated. Each sentence length is checked against the mean sentence length and a variation for each sentence is calculated. For the input text, the consumability-readability score is produced as an average of variations for all sentences in the input text. The consumability-readability score indicates the level of satisfaction for the listener of the output speech based on the input text.

  • CREATING AND MANAGING MACHINE LEARNING MODELS IN A SHARED NETWORK ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20200218940
    Abstract: A distributed system includes a model engine coupled to a data source storing training data and to a data source storing testing data. The model engine is being operated in accordance with a smart contract to enable entities to collaboratively produce a model based on the training data using blockchain infrastructure. Contributions of each entity are entered into a ledger of the blockchain as blocks. The model engine is configured to provide a model that utilizes the data based on criteria specified by an entity and configured to track and post changes to the model or data to a ledger of the blockchain according to the smart contract and configured to generate encrypted keys to enable the entities to exchange the tracked changes to the model or data and to exchange an updated model.
