  • Publication number: 20180181837
    Abstract: An image processing system involves a camera, at least one processor associated with the camera, non-transitory storage, a lexical database of terms and image classification software. The image processing system uses the image classification software to assign hyponyms and associated probabilities to an image and then builds a subset hierarchical tree of hypernyms from the lexical database of terms. The processor then scores the hypernyms and identifies at least one hypernym for the image that has a score that is calculated to have a value that is greater than one of: a pre-specified threshold score, or all other calculated level scores within the subset hierarchical tree. The associated methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9977826
    Abstract: A computerized method for generating and evaluating natural language-generated text involves receiving, in a computer, data input by a user, generating, using a natural language generation technique, multiple instances of text stories based upon both contents of a corpus and the received data; analyzing the multiple instances of text stories as a weighted combination of computed geographic scores, distance scores, information content scores, replacement scores and extra aspect scores, providing a ranked set of the generated text stories to a user, receiving a selection of one of the text stories in the ranked set, and storing the selected story.
