  • Patent number: 11657227
    Abstract: Machine learning model training corpus debiasing includes identifying an attribute of input text selected from the training corpus, the attribute including word(s) of the input text, and the attribute corresponding to an attribute class encompassing different possible class values, recognizing bias in the input text with respect to the attribute class, and generating output text corresponding to the attribute and imparting diversity with respect to the attribute class and relative to the input text, where generating the output text uses an optimization function based on loss objectives to minimize loss in the generated output text as compared to the input text.

  • Patent number: 11494802
    Abstract: A service receives a persuasion-based input comprising a text and one or more marketing objectives to persuade a desired response. The service evaluates persuasion values of text segments of the text and persuasion transition values consecutively between respective persuasion values of the persuasion values across the text segments. The service generates a desired curve of persuasion factors across the text segments according to the one or more marketing objectives. The service recommends one or more replacement words to replace one or more selected words in text to move a deviation between the persuasion values and transition values in comparison to the desired curve of persuasion factors.

  • Publication number: 20220237415
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for priority-based, accuracy-controlled individual fairness of unstructured text are provided herein. A method includes identifying one or more samples in a set of data used to train a machine learning model having at least one attribute; generating counterfactual samples for each of the one or more identified samples; calculating scores for the one or more identified samples based at least in part on output of the machine learning model with respect to the counterfactual samples, wherein the scores indicate a relative level of bias between the one or more identified samples corresponding to the at least one attribute; creating an enhanced set of data at least in part by supplementing at least a portion of the identified samples with the corresponding counterfactual samples based on the calculated scores; and training the machine learning model using the enhanced set of data.

  • Patent number: 11227099
    Abstract: A processor may receive a record. The record may include one or more segments of text. The processor may automatically generate a first summary of the record. The processor may determine an overall bias of the first summary. The overall bias of the first summary may be identified from one or more instances of bias in the first summary. The processor may generate a second summary of the record. The second summary of the record may include an indicator of the overall bias of the first summary. The indicator may include a description of a type of overall bias of the first summary and a numerical value of the overall bias of the first summary. The processor may determine an overall bias of the second summary. The processor may display the second summary of the record to a user.
