  • Publication number: 20230306203
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically generating a semantic vector representation of a relation between a specific set of entities in natural language text is provided. The method may include, in response to receiving a text segment comprising a set of entities, automatically parsing the text segment into an abstract meaning representation (AMR) graph comprising nodes representing the set of entities. The method may further include extracting a number of minimum Steiner trees from the AMR graph, and wherein each Steiner tree comprises a minimum amount of edges between the nodes corresponding to a first entity and at least one second entity. The method may further include using a trained graph neural network (GNN) to determine vector embeddings for the minimum Steiner trees. The method may further include aggregating the vector embeddings to generate the semantic vector representation of the relation between the specific set of entities.

  • Publication number: 20230297784
    Abstract: The present inventive concept provides for a method for automated decision modelling from text including obtaining a text corpus including a policy. Terms and syntax are identified within the text corpus related to the policy. Sentence similarities and co-references based on the terms and syntax are identified. Discourse and sentence level semantic parsing is performed based on the terms and the sentence similarities and the co-references using machine learning. A decision model template is generated based on the discourse and semantic parsing, and the decision model template is transformed into an automated decision model.

  • Publication number: 20220414477
    Abstract: In an approach for explaining a theorem proving model, a processor predicts a truth value of a query through a pre-trained theorem proving model, based on the query and one or more facts and rules in a knowledge base. A processor ranks the one or more facts and rules according to contribution, calculated in a pre-defined scoring method, made to the predicted truth value of the query. A processor generates a proof of the predicted truth value, wherein the proof is one or more logical steps that demonstrate the predicted truth value in a natural language. A processor outputs the proof.

  • Patent number: 11416469
    Abstract: In an approach to unsupervised feature learning for relational data, a computer trains one or more entity aware autoencoders on one or more tables in a relational database, where each of the one or more entity aware autoencoders corresponds to one of the one or more tables in the relational database, and where each of the one or more entity aware autoencoders are comprised of an encoder and a decoder. A computer transforms each of the one or more tables in the relational database with the encoder of the corresponding trained entity aware autoencoder. A computer joins a first transformed table of the one or more tables in the relational database with each remaining one or more transformed tables in the relational database to form one or more joined tables. A computer aggregates the one or more joined tables. A computer outputs one or more feature representations.
