  • Publication number: 20230078698
    Abstract: An example system includes a processor to pre-train a transformer-based language model on a general domain. The processor can inter-train the pre-trained transformer-based language model using partitioning and classification to generate an inter-trained transformer-based pre-trained language model. The processor can then fine-tune the inter-trained transformer-based pre-trained language model on a target task to generate a fine-tuned transformer-based language model.

  • Patent number: 11308419
    Abstract: A method including: generating, from a text corpus, a lexicon of unigrams and bigrams comprising an embedding for each of said unigrams and bigrams; training a machine learning classifier on a training set comprising a subset of said lexicon, wherein each of said unigrams and bigrams in said subset has a sentiment label; applying said machine learning classifier to said lexicon, to (i) predict a sentiment of each of said unigrams and bigrams, and (ii) update said lexicon with the predicted sentiments; and performing statistical analysis on said updated lexicon, to extract one or more sentiment composition lexicons, wherein each of said one or more sentiment composition lexicons is associated with a sentiment composition class.

  • Patent number: 11100287
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for training and using a classifier for words. Embodiments include receiving a first plurality of sentences comprising a first word that is associated with a class and a second plurality of sentences comprising a second word that is not associated with the class. Embodiments include training a classifier using positive training data for the class that is based on the first plurality of sentences and negative training data for the class that is based on the second plurality of sentences. Embodiments include determining a measure of correlation between a third word and the class by using a sentence comprising the third word as an input to the classifier. Embodiments include using the measure of correlation to perform an action selected from the following list: selecting content to provide to a user; determining an automatic chat response; or filtering a set of content.

  • Patent number: 10831793
    Abstract: A method of estimating a thematic similarity of sentences, comprising receiving a corpus of a plurality of documents describing a plurality of topics where each document comprises a plurality of sentences arranged in a plurality of sections, constructing sentence triplets for at least some of the sentences, each sentence triplet comprising a respective sentence, a respective positive sentence selected randomly from the section comprising the respective sentence and a respective negative sentence selected randomly from another section, training a first neural network with the sentence triplets to identify sentence-sentence vectors mapping each sentence with a shorter distance to its respective positive sentence compared to the distance to its respective negative sentence and outputting the first neural network for estimating thematic similarity between a pair of sentences by computing a distance between the sentence-sentence vectors produced for each sentence of the pair by the first neural network.

  • Patent number: 10572822
    Abstract: There is provided, in accordance with some embodiments, a method for receiving electronic documents representing a dependency graph comprising feature extractors at each graph node and directed edges corresponding to computational dependencies of the feature extractors. For at least some feature extractors, extractor defining data, comprising extractor data and computational dependencies of the graph node in the dependency graph are determined, and a node lookup key based on the extractor defining data is computed. When the node lookup key is associated with a stored set of output feature values, the stored set is assigned as output values of the feature extractor. When node lookup key is not associated with a stored set of output feature values, a new set of output feature values is computed, stored, and associated the node lookup key. The one set of output feature values are sent as an output feature set.
