Patent number: 11704551Abstract: Techniques for iterative query-based analysis of text are described. According to various implementations, a neural network architecture is implemented receives a query for information about text content, and iteratively analyzes the content using the query. During the analysis a state of the query evolves until it reaches a termination state, at which point the state of the query is output as an answer to the initial query.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Po-Sen Huang, Jianfeng Gao, Weizhu Chen, Yelong Shen

Publication number: 20190266246Abstract: In neural-network-based approaches to sequence modeling, an output sequence may be modeled via segmentations, the probability of the output sequence being constructed as a sum of products of output-segment probabilities, taken over all valid output-sequence segmentations. A set of artificial neural networks may model the distribution of the output-sequence probability with a recurrent neural network modeling the distributions of the individual output-segment probabilities, optionally in conjunction with a second recurrent neural network modeling concatenations of output segments. In various embodiments, this approach is applied to neural phrase-based machine translation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2018Publication date: August 29, 2019Inventors: Chong Wang, Yining Wang, Po-Sen Huang, Abdelrahman Samir Abdelrahman Mohamed, Dengyong Zhou, Li Deng, Sitao Huang

Patent number: 10055686Abstract: A deep structured semantic module (DSSM) is described herein which uses a model that is discriminatively trained based on click-through data, e.g., such that a conditional likelihood of clicked documents, given respective queries, is maximized, and a condition likelihood of non-clicked documents, given the queries, is reduced. In operation, after training is complete, the DSSM maps an input item into an output item expressed in a semantic space, using the trained model. To facilitate training and runtime operation, a dimensionality-reduction module (DRM) can reduce the dimensionality of the input item that is fed to the DSSM. A search engine may use the above-summarized functionality to convert a query and a plurality of documents into the common semantic space, and then determine the similarity between the query and documents in the semantic space. The search engine may then rank the documents based, at least in part, on the similarity measures.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Po-Sen Huang, Xiaodong He, Jianfeng Gao, Li Deng, Alejandro Acero, Larry P.
