  • Patent number: 11900073
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is programmed to support efficient and rapid generation of machine translation suggestions on client devices. Network latency is substantially reduced or eliminated by separating certain aspects of the translation workload across multiple classes of tasks, including final neural network output, between a client device and server device. The client device and server device may be connected such that a decoder portion of a machine translation system may be downloaded onto the client device, along with an initial translation suggestion and encoder outputs associated with a document, which document is in a source language to be translated into a target language. The initial translation suggestion may be replaced by an updated machine translation suggestion as a user inputs text in the target language called a prefix. This updated machine translation is generated on the client-side decoder using the previously-downloaded encoder outputs as input and the prefix as constraint.

    Abstract: Presented herein are embodiments of an unsupervised cross-lingual sentiment classification model (which may be referred to as multi-view encoder-classifier (MVEC)) that leverages an unsupervised machine translation (UMT) system and a language discriminator. Unlike previous language model (LM)-based fine-tuning approaches that adjust parameters solely based on the classification error on training data, embodiments employ an encoder-decoder framework of an UMT as a regularization component on the shared network parameters. In one or more embodiments, the cross-lingual encoder of embodiments learns a shared representation, which is effective for both reconstructing input sentences of two languages and generating more representative views from the input for classification. Experiments on five language pairs verify that an MVEC embodiment significantly outperforms other models for 8/11 sentiment classification tasks.

  • Patent number: 11625545
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved conversation translation are disclosed. The system receives a first portion of a conversation in a first language. The system translates the first portion of the conversation to a second language. The system generates a predicted second portion of the conversation. The first portion and the predicted second portion are sent to a second user device as a predictive translation. The system then receives an actual second portion of the conversation, translates it to the second language, and sends the first portion and the actual second portion to the second user device as a batch translation. The system compares the batch translation to the predictive translation to identity any differences and generates a color-coded translation highlighting any differences between the batch translation and the predictive translation. The system sends the color-coded translation to the second user device for display on the second user device.

  • Patent number: 11625538
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for automatic extraction of self-reported activities of an individual from a freestyle narrative text. Manual extraction of such self-reported activities of the individual from the freestyle narrative text over the period of time is a complex task and consume a significant amount of time. The present systems and methods utilize a predefined grammar pattern and a natural language processing technique to generate one or more candidate activity phrases, from the pre-processed input text posted by the individual. A deep learning based supervised classification model is utilized to automatically extract the one or more self-reported activities of the individual, from the one or more candidate activity phrases. Manual intervention and efforts of analyzing the freestyle narrative text to extract the self-reported activities are avoided. Longitudinal assessment of the self-reported activities may reveal routines and behavior of the individual.

  • Patent number: 11537645
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention detect rhetoric agreement between texts. In an example, a rhetoric agreement application accesses a multi-part initial query and generates a question communicative discourse tree that represents rhetorical relationships between fragments of the query. The application identifies a sub-discourse tree from the question communicative discourse tree. The application generates a candidate answer communicative discourse tree for each candidate answer of a set of candidate answers. The application computes a level of complementarity between the sub-discourse tree and each candidate answer discourse tree by applying a classification model to the sub-discourse tree and candidate answer communicative discourse trees. The application selects an answer from the candidate answers based on the computed complementarity, thereby building a dialogue structure of an interactive session.
