  • Patent number: 11966389
    Abstract: A method (and structure and computer product) of machine translation for processing input questions includes receiving, in a processor on a computer, an input question presented in a natural language. The input question is preprocessed to find one or more condition values for possible Structured Query Language (SQL) queries. One or more possible SQL queries are enumerated based on the one or more found condition values and a paraphrasing model is used to rank the enumerated SQL queries. The highest ranked SQL query is executed against a relational database to search for a response to the input question.

  • Patent number: 11823013
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-implemented method for performing unsupervised feature representation learning for text data. The method generates reference text data having a set of random text sequences, in which each text sequence of set of random text sequences is of a random length and comprises a number of random words, and in which each random length is sampled from a minimum length to a maximum length. The random words of each text sequence in the set are drawn from a distribution. The method generates a feature matrix for raw text data based at least in part on a set of computed distances between the set of random text sequences and the raw text data. The method provides the feature matrix as an input to one or more machine learning models.

  • Patent number: 11816136
    Abstract: For a passage text and a corresponding answer text, perform a word-level soft alignment to obtain contextualized passage embeddings and contextualized answer embeddings, and a hidden level soft alignment on the contextualized passage embeddings and the contextualized answer embeddings to obtain a passage embedding matrix. Construct a passage graph of the passage text based on the passage embedding matrix, and apply a bidirectional gated graph neural network to the passage graph until a final state embedding is determined, during which intermediate node embeddings are fused from both incoming and outgoing edges. Obtain a graph-level embedding from the final state embedding, and decode the final state embedding to generate an output sequence word-by-word. Train a machine learning model to generate at least one question corresponding to the passage text and the answer text, by evaluating the output sequence with a hybrid evaluator combining cross-entropy evaluation and reinforcement learning evaluation.

  • Patent number: 11809986
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for calculating a similarity between a pair of graph-structured objects by learning-based techniques. The operations include computing the node embeddings of a pair of graph-structured objects of two computer graphs utilizing a hierarchical graph matching network (HGMN). A first component of the HGMN performs graph matching of global-level graph interactions of the two computer graphs. A second component of the HGMN performs graph matching of cross-level node-graph interactions of the two computer graphs. There is an aggregating of features learned from the graph matching of the global-level graph interactions and the cross-level node-graph interactions. At least one of a graph-graph classification or a graph-graph regression is performed utilizing the learned features of the two computer graphs.
