Patent number: 12626072Abstract: A method of training a text-generating model for grammatical error correction (GEC) includes obtaining a multilingual set of text samples where each text sample includes a monolingual textual representation of a respective sentence. The operations also include, for each text sample of the multilingual set of text samples, generating a corrupted synthetic version of the respective text sample where the corrupted synthetic version of the respective text sample includes a grammatical change to the monolingual textual representation of the respective sentence associated with the respective text sample. The operations further include training the text-generating model using a training set of sample pairs. Each sample pair in the training set of sample pairs includes one of the respective text samples of the multilingual set of text samples and the corresponding corrupted synthetic version of the one of the respective text samples of the multilingual set of text samples.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2021Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Sebastian Krause, Sascha Rothe, Jonathan Mallinson, Eric Malmi, Aliaksei Severyn

Publication number: 20250190762Abstract: Implementations are directed to generating synthetic labeled/preference data by extracting preference pairs from sets of N outputs to a given unlabeled input to a generative model. A plurality of generative outputs are generated by a generative model from a set of input data. A reward model is used to determine a plurality of reward values for the plurality of generative outputs. Based on the reward values, a pair of generative outputs from the plurality of generative outputs is selected for inclusion in a training example. The pair of outputs include a positive training example and a negative training example, where the reward values indicate that the positive training example is preferred over the negative training example. The process can be repeated for a plurality of sets of input data to generate a plurality of training examples for inclusion in a training dataset, which can be used to update reward model(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2023Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventors: Aliaksei Severyn, Alizée Pace, Eric Malmi, Sebastian Krause, Jonathan Mallinson
