  • Publication number: 20230282018
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that utilize intelligent contextual bias weights for informing keyphrase relevance models to extract keyphrases. For example, the disclosed systems generate a graph from a digital document by mapping words from the digital document to nodes of the graph. In addition, the disclosed systems determine named entity bias weights for the nodes of the graph utilizing frequencies with which the words corresponding to the nodes appear within named entities identified from the digital document. Moreover, the disclosed systems generate a keyphrase summary for the digital document utilizing the graph and a machine learning model biased according to the named entity bias weights for the nodes of the graph.

  • Publication number: 20220020375
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for detecting a mission changes in a conversation. A user utterance from a user device is received. The user utterance is part of a conversation with an intelligent assistant. The conversation includes preceding user utterances in pursuit of a first mission. It is determined that the user utterance indicates a mission change from the first mission to a second mission based on an application of a machine-learned model to the user utterance and the preceding user utterances. The machine-learned model has been trained repeatedly with past utterances of other users over a time period, the determining based on a certainty of the indication satisfying a certainty threshold. Responsive to the determining that the user utterance indicates the mission change from the first mission to a second mission, a reply to the user utterance is generated to further the second mission rather than the first mission.
