Patent number: 11682318Abstract: Embodiments for assisting pronunciation correction are described. A representation of a user pronunciation of an utterance is received. A representation of a target pronunciation of the utterance is identified. The representation of the user pronunciation of the utterance is compared to the representation of the target pronunciation of the utterance. A recommendation associated with correcting the user pronunciation of the utterance is generated based on the comparing of the representation of the user pronunciation of the utterance to the representation of the target pronunciation of the utterance and information associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2020Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Charles Arthur Jochim, Pierpaolo Tommasi, Francesca Bonin, Martin Gleize

Publication number: 20230177115Abstract: Embodiments facilitating enhanced synergy between machine learning models and annotators in a computing environment by a processor. Annotation tasks may be coordinated between one or more annotators and machine learning models based on one or more annotator preferences and data annotation requirements of a machine learning model. The one or more annotator preferences and the data annotation requirements for coordinating the annotation tasks may be learned over a period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Pierpaolo TOMMASI, Charles Arthur JOCHIM, Stephane DEPARIS, Debasis GANGULY

Patent number: 11651010Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products that facilitate answering questions that involve mathematical computations are provided. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises: transforming, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a natural language query into a first logical representation and extrinsic knowledge into a second logical representation relevant to the natural language query; merging, by the system, the first logical representation and the second logical representation into a third logical representation; and generating, by the system, answers for the natural language query based on processing of the third logical representation.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Elizabeth Daly, Charles Arthur Jochim, Akihiro Kishimoto, Vanessa Lopez Garcia, Radu Marinescu

Publication number: 20220261671Abstract: In an approach to explaining probabilistic answers through contextualization, one or more computer processors receive a query associated with a probability value of a first event from a user. One or more computer processors parse the query into one or more constituent parts. Based on the one or more constituent parts, one or more computer processors determine the first event. One or more computer processors query a probability value of the first event, where the second event is similar to the first event. One or more computer processors determine the probability value of the first event and the probability value of the second event are known. One or more computer processors fetch the probability value of the first event and the probability value of the second event. One or more computer processors display the probability value of the first event and the probability value of the second event.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2021Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Stephane Deparis, Charles Arthur Jochim, Pierpaolo Tommasi

Publication number: 20220180224Abstract: Content can be dynamically associated to an annotator based on machine learning of annotator expertise and dynamically maintaining a set of labels and relationships among the labels. A probable group of labels associated with the content can be determined by a first machine learning model. Using a set of labels and relationships among the set of labels maintained dynamically, a second machine learning model can select an annotator having subject matter expertise associated with the probable group of labels. The first machine learning model and the second machine learning model can be retrained based on annotations performed on the content by the annotator as feedback. A third machine learning model can dynamically maintain the set of labels and the relationships among the set of labels.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Pierpaolo Tommasi, Charles Arthur Jochim, Joao H Bettencourt-Silva, Alessandra Pascale
