Patent number: 11164270Abstract: A method is provided for role-oriented risk analysis in a contract. The method generates, using deep semantic association analysis, a report specifying a set of potential risks relating to explicit and hidden roles of contract parties. The generating step categorizes input statements of the contract into respective obligation/right pairs according to a deep semantic association distribution thereof. Each pair includes a respective obligation and a respective right. The generating step detects deep semantic differences between the respective pairs and a set of reference obligation/right pairs. The generating step identifies the explicit and hidden roles of the involved parties in the respective obligations/rights pairs according to domain-specific use scenarios and multidimensional local and global context clues in the contract. The generating step identifies the set of potential risks by applying a deep semantic role-oriented risk entailment model to the deep semantic differences.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: HongLei Guo, Zhili Guo, Song Xu, Shiwan Zhao, Elaine M.

Patent number: 11132513Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to attention-based neural language processing. In an embodiment, a method is disclosed. According to the method, a sentence graph is generated from a sentence containing words. The sentence graph comprises nodes representing words and edges connecting the nodes, at least one of the edges being constructed to indicate a syntactic relationship between words represented by nodes connected therebetween. Word representations for the words are determined based on the sentence graph by applying an attention mechanism on respective ones of the nodes and respective sets of neighbor nodes for the nodes. A set of neighbor nodes for a node has edges connected to the node. A sentence representation for the sentence is determined based on the word representations for use in a natural language processing task related to the sentence. In other embodiments, a system and a computer program product are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bang An, Shiwan Zhao, HongLei Guo, Zhong Su, Zhi Hu Wang
