  • Patent number: 11455461
    Abstract: Self-executing document revision includes creating a current version of an electronic rendering of a collaborative document based on input received from a user via a communicative coupling with a data communications network. The current version's relevancy is determined by a self-executing document revisor and compared with the relevancy of a prior version of the collaborative document. In response to determining the relevancy of the current version is less than the relevancy of the prior version, one or more segments of one or more electronically stored versions of the collaborative document are selected based on a relevancy of each of the one or more segments, the relevancy of each determined by the self-executing document revisor. The self-executing document revisor generates a graphical representation of a revised version of the collaborative document by merging the one or more segments selected with the current version of the collaborative document.

  • Patent number: 11449683
    Abstract: Disentanglement of chat utterances is provided. An analysis of the linguistic collocations and the keywords of the multiple chat utterances and amount of contribution by respective chat users of the plurality of chat users to the multiple chat utterances is performed to determine a level of drift of the linguistic collocations, the keywords, and respective chat users over a course of the multiple chat utterances. Chat utterance entanglement of prior chat utterances is determined using determined level of drift based on the analysis by inferring keyword usage over time and how these keywords are related over the course of the multiple chat utterances. The prior chat utterances related to a particular topic are disentangled by removing certain chat utterances that have a statistically significant level of drift from that particular topic. Removed chat utterances are arranged as a new chat discourse related to a different topic in the chat conversation.
