  • Patent number: 11887130
    Abstract: A method for automatically detecting inappropriate content on a computing application is provided. The method may include, in response to detecting an attempt to post content on the computing application, parsing the content to identify parts of the content. The method may further include determining whether the parts of the content comprises inappropriate content by applying algorithms to the parts of the content based on information associated with one or more computing applications and by predicting whether potential viewers of the one or more parts of the content view the one or more parts as inappropriate. The method may further include, in response to determining that the one or more parts of the content includes inappropriate content based on the applied algorithms and the potential viewers, generating and displaying feedback and providing suggestions for editing the inappropriate content on the attempted post.

  • Patent number: 11682318
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11003716
    Abstract: Embodiments for discovery and analysis of interpersonal relationships from a collection of unstructured text data by a processor. A relationship between one or more entities and extracted text data from a plurality of unstructured text data may be identified such that the relationship includes a sentiment of the relationship, a type of relationship, temporal information, or a combination thereof. The one or more entities may be associated with a knowledge graph based on an ontology of concepts representing a domain knowledge. The extracted information and the identified relationship may be automatically aggregated into a multi-graph representation.

  • Patent number: 10832009
    Abstract: Embodiments for extraction and summarization of decision discussions of a communication by a processor. The decision elements may be grouped together according to similar characteristics. The decision elements may be linked, and sentiments of the discussion participants towards each of the decision elements may be analyzed. A summary of the plurality of the decision elements may be provided via an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) on one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The summary of the decision elements may be linked to domain knowledge. The summary may be enhanced using a domain knowledge.
