  • Publication number: 20240104301
    Abstract: In an embodiment, the disclosed technologies are capable of receiving, by a digital model, data representing a first text sequence in a first language; using the digital model, modifying the first text sequence to result in creating and digitally storing a second text sequence in the first language; and outputting, by the digital model, the second text sequence in the first language. The modifying may include any one or more of: deleting text from the first text sequence, adding text to the first text sequence, modifying text of the first text sequence, reordering text of the first text sequence, adding a digital markup to the first text sequence. The digital model may have been fine-tuned, after having been machine-learned, using a subset of values of model parameters associated with an encoding layer or an embedding layer or both the encoding layer and the embedding layer.

  • Patent number: 11669698
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to automatic formality classification and transformation of online text items. In one example, a request is received for determining a formality level of a text item in an online communication. One or more linguistic features are extracted from the text item. Contextual information with respect to the online communication is extracted. A formality level of the text item is determined based on the one or more linguistic features and the contextual information. The formality level represents a degree of formality of the text item. The formality level is provided as a response to the request.

  • Patent number: 11410072
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for the detection of sentiment in writing. A plurality of texts is received from a larger collection of writing samples with a computer system. A set of seed words from the plurality of texts are labeled as being of positive sentiment or of negative sentiment with the computer system. The set of seed words is expanded in size with the computer system to provide an expanded set of seed words. Intensity values are assigned to words of the expanded set of seed words. Each of the words of the expanded set of seed words is assigned three intensity values: a value corresponding to the strength of the word's association with a positive polarity class, a value corresponding to the strength of the word's association with a negative polarity class, and a value corresponding to the strength of the word's association with a neutral polarity class.

  • Patent number: 11010687
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting abusive language are disclosed. In one embodiment, a set of character N-grams is ascertained for a set of text. Feature values for a plurality of features of the set of text are determined, based, at least in part, on the set of character N-grams. A computer-generated model is applied to the feature values for the plurality of features to generate a score for the set of text, where the model includes a plurality of weights, each of the weights corresponding to one of the features. It may then be determined whether the set of text includes abusive language based, at least in part, on the score.
