  • Patent number: 11947926
    Abstract: In an approach for discourse-level text optimization, a processor receives an initial text in a first language. A processor applies one or more operators to modify the initial text. A processor evaluates the modified text using a scoring function. A processor determines whether a score generated from the scoring function on the modified text is above a predefined threshold. In response to determining the score is above the predefined threshold, a processor outputs the modified text.

  • Patent number: 11429839
    Abstract: A neural network has an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. The input layer is divided into a situation context input sublayer, a background context input sublayer (in some embodiments), and an environmental input sublayer. The output layer has a selection/sequencing output sublayer and an environmental output sublayer. Each of the layers (including the sublayers) have a plurality of neurons and each of the neurons has an activation. Situation context, environmental information, and background context can be inputted into the neural network which create an output used to dynamically select and sequence selected storylines that are used to modify a story based on the sentiment, environment, and/or background of the audience.

  • Publication number: 20220207392
    Abstract: A system receives messaging, video and/or audio input streams including dialogue spoken by users at a group meeting. From these inputs, the system obtains single or multiple interaction records including natural language text memorializing content spoken by each speaker at a meeting, analyzes the content, and identifies single or multiple action item tasks in the interaction records. The system then generates summaries indicating the action item tasks for the users. From the dialogue content, the system further detects whether each action item is addressed, and whether the action item for a user has a solution, or not. The system further detects whether one action item is a precondition for resolving another action item by the user or in conjunction with another user. Using a pre-configured template, the system generates action item summaries, any associated solution, and any relationship or precondition between action items and presents the summary to a user.
