  • Training a natural language processing model with information retrieval model annotations
    Patent number: 9536522
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for training a natural language processing model with information retrieval model annotations. A natural language processing model may be trained, through machine learning, using training examples that include part-of-speech tagging and annotations added by an information retrieval model. The natural language processing model may generate part-of-speech, parse-tree, beginning, inside, and outside label, mention chunking, and named-entity recognition predictions with confidence scores for text in the training examples. The information retrieval model annotations and part-of-speech tagging in the training example may be used to determine the accuracy of the predictions, and the natural language processing model may be adjusted. After training, the natural language processing model may be used to make predictions for novel input, such as search queries and potential search results.

  • Multi-source transfer of delexicalized dependency parsers
    Patent number: 9305544
    Abstract: A source language sentence is tagged with non-lexical tags, such as part-of-speech tags and is parsed using a lexicalized parser trained in the source language. A target language sentence that is a translation of the source language sentence is tagged with non-lexical labels (e.g., part-of speech tags) and is parsed using a delexicalized parser that has been trained in the source language to produce k-best parses. The best parse is selected based on the parse's alignment with lexicalized parse of the source language sentence. The selected best parse can be used to update the parameter vector of a lexicalized parser for the target language.

  • Method of attaching a cabinet assembly to a hot tub
    Patent number: 9151067
    Abstract: A method of attaching a cabinet assembly to a spa. The method includes providing a frame that has a channel that forms a perimeter. A spa is placed on the frame such that a flange or lip of the spa extends past the perimeter created by the channel. A plurality of slats are then secured between the flange of the spa and the channel of the frame in order to form a cabinet around the spa. The spa having a pan and a toe kick secured adjacent its bottom end.
