Publication number: 20170068666Abstract: Various embodiments described herein facilitate multi-lingual communications. The systems and methods of some embodiments enable multi-lingual communications through different modes of communication including, for example, Internet-based chat, e-mail, text-based mobile phone communications, postings to online forums, postings to online social media services, and the like. Certain embodiments implement communication systems and methods that translate text between two or more languages. Users of the systems and methods may be incentivized to submit corrections for inaccurate or erroneous translations, and may receive a reward for these submissions. Systems and methods for assessing the accuracy of translations are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2016Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Gabriel Leydon, Francois Orsini, Nikhil Bojja

Publication number: 20170024372Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a method, a system, and a computer program storage device for identifying a language in a message. Non-language characters are removed from a text message to generate a sanitized text message. An alphabet and/or a script are detected in the sanitized text message by performing at least one of (i) an alphabet-based language detection test to determine a first set of scores and (ii) a script-based language detection test to determine a second set of scores. Each score in the first set of scores represents a likelihood that the sanitized text message includes the alphabet for one of a plurality of different languages. Each score in the second set of scores represents a likelihood that the sanitized text message includes the script for one of the plurality of different languages.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Inventors: Nikhil Bojja, Pidong Wang, Shiman Guo

Patent number: 9535896Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a method, a system, and a computer program storage device for detecting a language in a text message. A plurality of different language detection tests are performed on a message associated with a user. Each language detection test determines a set of scores representing a likelihood that the message is in one of a plurality of different languages. One or more combinations of the score sets are provided as input to one or more distinct classifiers. Output from each of the classifiers includes a respective indication that the message is in one of the different languages. The language in the message may be identified as being the indicated language from one of the classifiers, based on a confidence score and/or an identified linguistic domain.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Machine Zone, Inc.Inventors: Nikhil Bojja, Pidong Wang, Fredrik Linder, Bartlomiej Puzon

Publication number: 20160283454Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for suggesting emoticons for insertion into text based on an analysis of sentiment in the text. An example method includes: determining a first sentiment of text in a text field; selecting first text from the text field in proximity to a current position of an input cursor in the text field; identifying one or more candidate emoticons wherein each candidate emoticon is associated with a respective score indicating relevance to the first text and the first sentiment based on, at least, historical user selections of emoticons for insertion in proximity to respective second text having a respective second sentiment; providing one or more candidate emoticons having respective highest scores for user selection; and receiving user selection of one or more of the provided emoticons and inserting the selected emoticons into the text field at the current position of the input cursor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2016Publication date: September 29, 2016Inventors: GABRIEL LEYDON, NIKHIL BOJJA

Publication number: 20160203129Abstract: Systems and methods of various embodiments may enable or refine translation of text between a first language and a second language. In particular, systems and methods may enable or refine a text translation by soliciting and/or receiving feedback for: translation of a first word or phrase from a first language to a second language; transformation of the first word or phrase (in the first language) to a second word or phrase in the first language; or transformation of the first word or phrase (in the first language) to a second word or phrase in the second language. The systems and methods of various embodiments may incentivize user feedback for failed translations in order to encourage user feedback, improve the quality of user feedback received, and to permit development of translation corpora that can evolve with time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2016Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventors: Gabriel Leydon, Francois Orsini, Nikhil Bojja
