Abstract: A speech interpretation module interprets the audio of user utterances as sequences of words. To do so, the speech interpretation module parameterizes a literal corpus of expressions by identifying portions of the expressions that correspond to known concepts, and generates a parameterized statistical model from the resulting parameterized corpus. When speech is received the speech interpretation module uses a hierarchical speech recognition decoder that uses both the parameterized statistical model and language sub-models that specify how to recognize a sequence of words. The separation of the language sub-models from the statistical model beneficially reduces the size of the literal corpus needed for training, reduces the size of the resulting model, provides more fine-grained interpretation of concepts, and improves computational efficiency by allowing run-time incorporation of the language sub-models.

Semantic and natural language processing (NLP) techniques can also be utilized for content categorization and routing. Translations of content items can also be continuously refined and higher quality re-translated content can be provided in an automated fashion.

Abstract: A computing device automatically creates a log record recognizer expression and uses the log record recognizer expression to identify a log record type for a log record to parse the log record. A log record type regular expression is selected from log record type regular expressions and is separated into subexpressions that are normalized and are reassembled into an expression recognizer for each log record type regular expression. The expression recognizer for each is read into a data structure. The recognizer expressions are sorted based on an order associated with an expression operator of each subexpression. A log recognizer expression is created from each read expression recognizer included in the sorted recognizer expressions. A log record type of a log record is identified using the created log recognizer expression. A log record type regular expression is selected. The log record is parsed using the selected log record type regular expression.

Abstract: A method for extracting a relations graph uses an ontology graph in which nodes represent entity classes or concepts and edges represent properties of the classes. A property is associated with a constraint which defines a range of values that can be taken without incurring a cost. Input text in which entity and concept mentions are identified is received. An optimal set of alignments between a subgraph of the ontology graph and the identified mentions is identified by optimizing a function of constraint costs incurred by the alignments and a distance measure computed over the set of alignments. The relations graph is generated, based on the optimal set of alignments. The relations graph represents a linked set of relations instantiating a subgraph of the ontology. The relations graph can include relations involving implicit mentions corresponding to subgraph nodes that are not aligned to any of the concept or entity mentions.

Abstract: Innovations in the areas of determining search areas and queries for database searches are presented. For example, a search tool receives input for a search area for a database search. For the database search, the search tool determines one or more target tables that fit the search area input. In this way, the search tool can determine “on-the-fly” which database tables are relevant for the database search. The search tool can also receive input for a search string and construct queries for the database search in the target table(s). For a field of a table, the search tool can selectively convert a search value to a data format of the field. If the search string input includes multiple search values, the search tool can construct an OR query and/or an AND query. The search results can indicate real-time status of the database, while accounting for complex structures of database tables.
