Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for facilitating generation and utilization of a commonsense contextualizing machine learning (ML) model, in accordance with embodiments described herein. In embodiments, a commonsense contextual ML model is trained by fine-tuning a pre-trained language model using a set of training path-sentence pairs. Each training path-sentence pair includes a commonsense path, identified via a commonsense knowledge graph, and a natural language sentence identified as contextually related to the commonsense path. The trained commonsense contextualizing ML model can then be used to generate a commonsense inference path for a text input. Such a commonsense inference path can include a sequence of entities and relations that provide commonsense context to the text input. Thereafter, the commonsense inference path can be provided to a natural language processing system for use in performing a natural language processing task.

Abstract: The technology described herein receives a natural-language sequence of words comprising multiple entities. The technology then identifies a plurality of entities in the natural-language sequence. The technology generates a masked natural-language sequence by masking a first entity in the natural-language sequence. The technology retrieves, from a knowledge base, information related to a second entity in the plurality of entities. The technology then trains a natural-language model to respond to a query. The training uses a first representation of the masked natural-language sequence, a second representation of the information, and the first entity.

Abstract: In some embodiments, techniques for extracting high-value sequential patterns are provided. For example, a process may involve training a machine learning model to learn a state-action map that contains high-utility sequential patterns; extracting at least one high-utility sequential pattern from the trained machine learning model; and causing a user interface of a computing environment to be modified based on information from the at least one high-utility sequential pattern.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically detecting misinformation is disclosed. The misinformation detection system is implemented using a cross-stitch based semi-supervised end-to-end neural attention model which is configured to leverage the large amount of unlabeled data that is available. In one embodiment, the model can at least partially generalize and identify emerging misinformation as it learns from an array of relevant external knowledge. Embodiments of the proposed system rely on heterogeneous information such as a social media post's text content, user details, and activity around the post, as well as external knowledge from the web, to identify whether the content includes misinformation. The results of the model are produced via an attention mechanism.

Abstract: Systems and methods for data analytics are described. One or more embodiments of the present disclosure receive target time series data and candidate time series data, where the candidate time series data includes data corresponding to each of a plurality of candidate metrics, train a prediction network to predict the target time series data based on the candidate time series data by setting temporal attention weights corresponding to a plurality of rolling time windows and by setting candidate attention weights corresponding to the plurality of candidate metrics, identify a leading indicator metric for the target time series data from the plurality of candidate metrics based on the temporal attention weights and the candidate attention weights, and signal the leading indicator metric for the target time series data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for Deep Learning techniques based multi-purpose conversational agents for processing natural language queries. The traditional systems and methods provide for conversational systems for processing natural language queries but do not employ Deep Learning techniques, and thus are unable to process large number of intents. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for Deep Learning techniques based multi-purpose conversational agents for processing the natural language queries by defining and logically integrating a plurality of components comprising of multi-purpose conversational agents, identifying an appropriate agent to process one or more natural language queries by a High Level Intent Identification technique, predicting a probable user intent, classifying the query, and generate a set of responses by querying or updating one or more knowledge graphs.
