  • Publication number: 20230052110
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for text processing. Upon receiving input data including an original token and a ground truth token label for the original token, a manipulation is applied to the original token to generate a manipulated token based on which to generate manipulated input data. Training data is generated based on the manipulated input data, the ground truth token label, and a ground truth action that, when applied to the manipulated token, yields the original token with the ground truth token label. A text moderation model is trained based on the training data.

  • Publication number: 20230007857
    Abstract: Embodiments provide enhanced performance diagnosis in a network computing environment. In response to an occurrence of a performance issue for a node while under operating conditions, common logs for applications on the node are analyzed. The applications are respectively registered in advance for diagnosis services. The applications each register rules in advance for the diagnosis services. At a time of the performance issue, debug programs are automatically issued to generate debug level logs respectively for the applications. Debug level logs are analyzed according to the rules to determine a root cause of the performance issue. A potential solution to the root cause of the performance issue is determined using the rules, without having to recreate the operating conditions occurring during the performance issue. The potential solution to rectify the root cause of the performance issue is executed without having to recreate the operating conditions occurring during the performance issue.
