  • Patent number: 10217030
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a system are proposed. According to the method, in response to receiving a character, a first representation of the character is generated by performing word embedding processing on the character. The first representation is related to context of the character. A second representation of the character is generated by performing convolutional neural network (CNN) processing on the character. The second representation is related to a hieroglyphic feature of the character. A label for the character is determined by performing recurrent neural network (RNN) processing on the first representation and the second representation. The label indicates an attribute of the character related to the context.

  • Publication number: 20180330230
    Abstract: A computer implemented method identifies guidelines through use of a neural network by a remote guideline server. A client computer transmits instructions to the remote guideline server to retrieve and evaluate multiple candidate guidelines. The remote guideline server utilizes a neural network to identify a string of terms found in each of the multiple candidate guidelines that match one or more strings of terms from a model guideline; to identify a semantic concept of each of the multiple candidate guidelines that matches one or more semantic concepts from the model guideline; and to identify a structural pattern of each of the multiple candidate guidelines that matches one or more structural patterns of the model guideline. The candidate guidelines that match the model guideline are then sent from the remote guideline server to the client computer.
