  • Publication number: 20250148822
    Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating indications of relationships between electronic documents, a processing device implements a relationship system to segment text of electronic documents included in a document corpus into segments. The relationship system determines a subset of the electronic documents that includes electronic document pairs having a number of similar segments that is greater than a threshold number. The similar segments are identified using locality sensitive hashing. The electronic document pairs are classified as related documents or unrelated documents using a machine learning model that receives a pair of electronic documents as an input and generates an indication of a classification for the pair of electronic documents as an output. Indications of relationships between particular electronic documents included in the subset are generated based at least partially on the electronic document pairs that are classified as related documents.

  • Patent number: 12112349
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herein for summarizing a set of anomalies corresponding to a group of metrics of interest to a monitoring system user. Initially, a set of anomalies corresponding to a group of metrics is identified as having values that are outside of a predetermined range. A correlation value is determined for at least a portion of pairs of anomalies in the set of anomalies. For each anomaly in the set of anomalies, an informativeness value is computed that indicates how informative each anomaly in the set of anomalies is to the monitoring system user. The correlation values and the informativeness values are then used to identify at least one key anomaly and a plurality of non-key anomalies from the set of anomalies. A summary is generated of the identified at least one key anomaly to provide information to the monitoring system user about the set of anomalies for a particular time period.

  • Patent number: 11194958
    Abstract: A fact replacement and style consistency tool is described. Rather than rely heavily on human involvement to replace facts and maintain consistent styles across multiple digital documents, the described change management system identifies factual and stylistic inconsistencies between these documents, in part, using natural language processing techniques. Once these inconsistencies are identified, the change management system generates a user interface that includes indications of the inconsistencies and information describing them, e.g., an indication noting not only a type of inconsistency but also presenting a first portion and at least a second portion of the multiple documents that are factually inconsistent.
