  • Patent number: 11799818
    Abstract: A method is performed at a backend server. The server receives a to-be-processed interaction message from a user interface of a social network platform. The server performs intention classification on the to-be-processed interaction message, to obtain an intention classification result of the to-be-processed interaction message. The server performs semantic analysis on the to-be-processed interaction message when the intention classification result comprises a mini program intention, to determine a message keyword of the to-be-processed interaction message. The server determines a program identifier of a target mini program corresponding to the to-be-processed interaction message according to the message keyword. The server transmits a message processing result based on the program identifier of the target mini program.

  • Patent number: 9852430
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for dynamically generating text associated with an advertisement are provided. Core text associated with an advertisement is received from an advertiser, as is at least one attribute relevant to the advertiser and/or a user. Based upon the received attribute(s), it is determined whether customization of the core text is desired. If customization is desired, the core text is modified and presented in association with the advertisement. If customization is not desired, the core text is presented in association with the advertisement. In one embodiment, target advertisement placement information may also be utilized to determine whether customization of the core text is desired.

  • Patent number: 8326785
    Abstract: A classifier is built to rank documents of different languages found in a query based at least in part on similarity to other documents and the relevance of those other documents to the query. A joint ranking model, e.g., based upon a Boltzmann machine, is used to represent the content similarity among documents, and to help determine joint relevance probability for a set of documents. The relevant documents of one language are thus leveraged to improve the relevance estimation for documents of different languages. In one aspect, a hidden layer of units (neurons) represents clusters (corresponding to relevant topics) among the retrieved documents, with an output layer representing the relevant documents and their features, and edges representing a relationship between clusters and documents.

  • Patent number: 8249855
    Abstract: A set of candidate documents, each of which may be part of a bilingual, parallel set of documents, are identified. The set of documents illustratively includes textual material in a source language. It is then determined whether parallel text can be identified. For each document in the set of documents, it is first determined whether the parallel text resides within the document itself. If not, the document is examined for links to other documents, and those linked documents are examined for bilingual parallelism with the selected documents. If not, named entities are extracted from the document and translated into the target language. The translations are used to query search engines to retrieve the parallel correspondent for the selected documents.

  • Patent number: 8073679
    Abstract: A set of candidate parallel pages is identified based on trigger words in one or more pages downloaded from a given network location (such as a website). A set of document trees representing each of the candidate pages are aligned to identify translationally parallel content and hyperlinks. The parallel content is further fed into conventional sentence aligner for parallel sentences. And the parallel hyperlinks usually refer to other parallel documents, and lead to a recursive mining of parallel documents.
