Patent number: 9881006Abstract: A method of forming parallel corpora comprises receiving sets of items in first language and second languages, each of the sets having one or more associated descriptions and metadata. The metadata is collected from the two sets of items and are aligned using the metadata. The aligned metadata are mapped from the first language to the second language for each of the sets. The descriptions of two items are fetched and the structural similarity of the descriptions is measured to assess whether two items are likely to be translations of each other. For mapped items with structurally similar descriptions, the mapped item descriptions are formed into respective sentences in first language and in the second language. The sentences are parallel corpora which may be used to translate an item from the first language to the second language, and also to train a machine translation system.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Jean-David Ruvini, Hassan Sawaf, Derek Barnes

Patent number: 9870632Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a selecting unit, a degree-of-association calculating unit, and a display. The selecting unit selects at least one of multiple components constituting electronic information. The degree-of-association calculating unit calculates the degree of association representing a strength of association between a different component associated with the component selected by the selecting unit and the selected component. The display displays associated-component information regarding the different component which is associated with the selected component, in a form based on the degree of association which is calculated by the degree-of-association calculating unit. When at least one of the components has a description indicating a conjunctive relation with the different component, the degree-of-association calculating unit associates the component with the different component.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Daisuke Tatsumi, Takeshi Onishi, Hiroyuki Sayuda, Eisaku Hayashi

Patent number: 9864742Abstract: A system to apply persona styles to written communications. The system includes a communication analyzer and a modification engine. The communication analyzer receives an element of original content of a written communication. The communication analyzer also receives a selection of a persona style. The selected persona style defines a communication style. The modification engine presents a substitute element to a user in response to a determination that the element of the original content of the written communication is incompatible with the selected persona style. The substitute element is compatible with the selected persona style.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2015Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Li Chen, Yongcheng Li, Govindaraj Sampathkumar, Ryan Urquhart

Patent number: 9858258Abstract: Automatic locale determination for documents is described. In an embodiment, a computer server receives an electronic document comprising a plurality of unknown-language data elements each associated with one or more types. Based on a document schema of the document, the computer system selects one or more unknown-language data elements from the plurality of unknown-language data elements and assigning to each of the one or more unknown-language data elements a corresponding weight value based on a respective type of the unknown-language data element.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Coupa Software IncorporatedInventor: Matthew Pasquini
