  • Patent number: 11334722
    Abstract: A method for summarizing text with sentence extraction including steps as follows. Sentences are extracted from a document including text by a natural language processing (NLP) based feature extractor. A word vector set with respect to each of the sentences is generated by a processor. The word vector set with respect to each of the sentences is used to generate a n-grams vector set and a phrase-n vector set with respect to each of the sentences. A word score representing similarity between the word vector sets, a n-grams score representing similarity between the n-grams vector sets, and a phrase-n score representing similarity between the phrase-n vector sets are computed. The word, n-grams, and phrase-n scores are combined to compute an edge score. Text features are selected from the sentences using the edge scores of the sentences, so as to output a summary of the document.

  • Patent number: 11132514
    Abstract: A method for applying image encoding recognition in the execution of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, comprising the processing steps as follows. A sentence from a textual source is extracted by an NLP-based feature extractor. A word vector is generated in response to the sentence by the NLP-based feature extractor. The word vector is converted into a feature vector {right arrow over (b)} by the NLP-based feature extractor, in which the feature vector {right arrow over (b)} satisfies {right arrow over (b)}?m and the parameter m is a positive integer. The feature vector is transformed into an image set having a plurality of two-dimensional images by a transformer. The image set is fed to a neural network to execute image recognition by a processor, so as to analyze the sentence.
