  • Patent number: 12718022
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a method for training a machine-learned semantic matching model. The method can include obtaining a first and second document and a first and second activity log. The method can include determining, based on the first document activity log and the second document activity log, a relation label indicative of whether the documents are related. The method can include inputting the documents into the model to receive a semantic similarity value representing an estimated semantic similarity between the first document and the second document. The method can include evaluating a loss function that evaluates a difference between the relation label and the semantic similarity value. The method can include modifying values of parameters of the model based on the loss function.

  • Publication number: 20250124067
    Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that rank text with pairwise ranking prompting using a generative sequence processing model. A prompt comprising a query and sets of text associated with candidate results can be generated. The generative sequence processing model can be prompted with the prompt and perform pairwise comparisons between the sets of text in the prompt based on the query in the prompt. An output can be generated that ranks the sets of text in response to the query.
