Publication number: 20230052110Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for text processing. Upon receiving input data including an original token and a ground truth token label for the original token, a manipulation is applied to the original token to generate a manipulated token based on which to generate manipulated input data. Training data is generated based on the manipulated input data, the ground truth token label, and a ground truth action that, when applied to the manipulated token, yields the original token with the ground truth token label. A text moderation model is trained based on the training data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Fei Tan, Yifan Hu, Changwei Hu, Keqian Li, Kevin Yen
