  • Methods and systems for generation of flexible sentences in a social networking system
    Patent number: 10157179
    Abstract: Some embodiments include a computer-implement method of producing a flexible sentence syntax to facilitate one or more computer applications to generate and publish sentence expressions. For example, the method can include providing a developer interface to define a flexible sentence syntax that controls one or more sentences publishable by an application service. A developer of the application service can customize the flexible sentence syntax including selecting at least one of selectable tokens that is associated with another element to incorporate in the flexible sentence syntax. Based on the selected token, a computing device can generate and publish a target sentence according to the flexible sentence syntax on the application service's behalf.

For example, the method can include providing a developer interface to define a flexible sentence syntax that controls one or more sentences publishable by an application service. A developer of the application service can customize the flexible sentence syntax including selecting at least one of selectable tokens that is associated with a specific sentence element to incorporate in the flexible sentence syntax. Based on the selected token, a computing device can generate and publish a target sentence according to the flexible sentence syntax on the application service's behalf.

  • Adaptive construction of a statistical language model
    Patent number: 9448990
    Abstract: A statistical language model (SLM) may be iteratively refined by considering N-gram counts in new data, and blending the information contained in the new data with the existing SLM. A first group of documents is evaluated to determine the probabilities associated with the different N-grams observed in the documents. An SLM is constructed based on these probabilities. A second group of documents is then evaluated to determine the probabilities associated with each N-gram in that second group. The existing SLM is then evaluated to determine how well it explains the probabilities in the second group of documents, and a weighting parameter is calculated from that evaluation. Using the weighting parameter, a new SLM is then constructed as a weighted average of the existing SLM and the new probabilities.

  • Methods and systems for generation of flexible sentences in a social networking system
    Patent number: 9110889
    Abstract: A method and system for providing flexible sentences are disclosed. The system includes a developer interface for providing options to define actor, edge, target and aggregation of a flexible sentence syntax. In one embodiment, tokens are provided to define property expressions of the edge and/or target of the flexible sentence syntax. Based on the defined edge and target, the developer interface may generate a plurality of flexible sentence syntaxes for a developer to select. In some embodiments, the developer can add additional property expressions to further define the edge and/or target of the flexible sentence syntax. In some instances, the plurality of flexible sentence syntaxes may be prioritized based on a percentage coverage, which is determined by the impressions received over a given time frame.
