  • Patent number: 12073326
    Abstract: This document relates to training of machine learning models. One example method involves providing a machine learning model having a first classification layer, a second classification layer, and an encoder that feeds into the first classification layer and the second classification layer. The example method also involves obtaining first training examples having explicit labels and second training examples having inferred labels. The inferred labels are based at least on actions associated with the second training examples. The example method also involves training the machine learning model using the first training examples and the second training examples using a training objective that considers first training loss of the first classification layer for the explicit labels and second training loss of the second classification layer for the inferred labels. The method also involves outputting a trained machine learning model having the encoder and the first classification layer.

  • Patent number: 11916866
    Abstract: A computer-implemented framework and/or system for cyberbullying detection is disclosed. The system includes two main components: (1) A representation learning network that encodes the social media session by exploiting multi-modal features, e.g., text, network, and time; and (2) a multi-task learning network that simultaneously fits the comment inter-arrival times and estimates the bullying likelihood based on a Gaussian Mixture Model. The system jointly optimizes the parameters of both components to overcome the shortcomings of decoupled training. The system includes an unsupervised cyberbullying detection model that not only experimentally outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised models, but also achieves competitive performance compared to supervised models.

  • Publication number: 20220036011
    Abstract: A news article may include sentences and have associated comments. A embodiment determines semantic correlation between each sentence and each comment to generate correlation degrees between the sentences and the comments, determines sentence attention weights of the sentences and comment attention weights of the comments based on the correlation degrees, and detect whether the news article is fake based on latent representations of the sentences and the comments, the sentence attention weights and the comment attention weights. A list of sentences and a list of comments may be selected based on the sentence attention weights and the comment attention weights, respectively, to provide explanation for a detection result.
