  • Patent number: 11551010
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating a replacement sentence with the same or similar meaning but a different sentiment than an input sentence. The method generally includes receiving a request for a replacement sentence and iteratively determining a next word of the replacement sentence word-by-word based on an input sentence. Iteratively determining the next word generally includes evaluating a set of words of the input sentence using a language model configured to output candidate sentences and evaluating the candidate sentences using a sentiment model configured to output sentiment scores for the candidates sentences. Iteratively determining the next word further includes calculating convex combinations for the candidate sentences and selecting an ending word of one of the candidate sentences as the next word of the replacement sentence. The method further includes transmitting the replacement sentence in response to the request for the replacement sentence.
