    Abstract: Generate, for each of the words of a common vocabulary of first and second text corpora, a first word embedding vector in the first text corpus and a second word embedding vector in the second text corpus. Generate, for each word in a random sample of non-landmark words, an artificially shifted word embedding vector by modifying the first word embedding vector for that word. Train a machine learning classifier to predict whether an artificial shift has been injected for a given word, based on the artificially shifted word embedding vector and the second word embedding vector for the given word. Predict semantic shifts for at least a plurality of the words of the common vocabulary by providing the first word embedding vectors and the second word embedding vectors for at least the plurality of the words of the common vocabulary as input to the trained machine learning classifier.

  • Patent number: 11797765
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a system comprising a machine-readable storage medium storing at least one program and computer-implemented methods for detecting a language of a text string. Consistent with some embodiments, the method may include applying multiple language identification models to a text string. Each language identification model provides a predicted language of the text string and a confidence score associated with the predicted language. The method may further include weighting each associated confidence score based on historical performance of the corresponding language identification model in predicting languages of other text strings. The method may further include selecting a predicted language of the text string from among the multiple predicted languages provided by the multiple language identification models based on a result of the weighting of the confidence score associated with the particular predicted language.

  • Patent number: 11763098
    Abstract: Provided are computer implemented systems and methods for providing improved language translation, including translation of input text to an output translated text element. This may include providing for rule-based language translation. This may further include a plurality of machine translation models adapted to different translation domains. A machine translation selector is described that selects an in-domain machine translator from the plurality of machine translation models based on an input text element. The selected in-domain machine translator may generate a first translated text element from the input text element. A post-editor module may generate a second translated text element by predicting a post-edit to the first translated text element. The first translated text element and the second translated text element are evaluated by a quality evaluation model that determines a first metric associated with the first translated text element and a second metric associated with the second text element.

  • Patent number: 11763821
    Abstract: Various tools are disclosed for providing assistive or augmentative means to enhance the fluency and accuracy of persons having speech disabilities. These technologies may automatically ascertain and dynamically improve the accuracy with which automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems recognize utterances of persons having impaired speech conditions. In an embodiment, digitized audio information about a speaker’s utterance is processed to determine a set of candidate words matching the utterance. From these candidate words, a set of concepts is determined using a finite state machine model. A pictogram representing each concept is identified and presented to the speaker so that the speaker may select the pictogram corresponding to the best match of his or her intended meaning associated with the utterance. An action corresponding to speaker’s selection then may be performed. For example, displaying or synthesizing speech from textual information describing the selected concept.

    Abstract: Interleaved conversation concept flow enhancement can include detecting a topic of an on-going conversation over an electronic communication system. In response to detecting a topic newly introduced into the on-going conversation, a topic-divergence metric (TDM) with respect to the original topic and the newly introduced topic can be determined. A topic-divergence response action can be initiated in response to the newly introduced topic diverging from the original topic by more than a predetermined threshold based on the TDM.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and system for verifying a resulting behavior of a graph query language. A lexical parser and a preset lexical rule are added to a BDD test framework, to construct an improved BDD test framework; a first Gherkin text in a graph query language standard is migrated to be a second Gherkin text in a graph query language; a first parsing result of the second Gherkin text is acquired from the improved BDD test framework; a first return result from a graph database is acquired, a comparison result between the first parsing result and the first return result is acquired, wherein the graph query language meets the graph query language standard if the first parsing result and the first return result are the same. The present disclosure solves the problem that the BDD test framework cannot recognize complex Gherkin texts, thereby facilitating development of graph databases.

  • Patent number: 11714810
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for subquery removal given two set operation-based subqueries in a query, where one subquery contains the result of the other. The described optimization technique of subquery removal is enabled by join and set operation-based containment of the set operation-based subqueries where semantic equivalence can be established for a given pair of set operation-based subqueries when some table(s)—with associated join condition(s), correlation condition(s), and/or filter predicate(s)—in one subquery are not considered. Subquery removal reduces multiple access to the same table and multiple evaluations of the same join conditions required to evaluate the query. When a subquery is removed from a disjunction, this may lead to other optimizations such as subquery unnesting, e.g., when the original query configuration would not permit query unnesting and the rewritten query (with one or more removed subqueries) permits unnesting.

  • Patent number: 11704490
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for training an artificial intelligence model to infer a log sourcetype of a log. For example, logs may have different log sourcetypes, and logs having the same log sourcetypes may have different messagetypes. The artificial intelligence model may be a machine learning model, and can be trained using training data that includes logs with known log sourcetypes. Each log can be tokenized, filtered, converted into a vector, and applied to a machine learning model as an input to perform the training. The machine learning model may output an inferred log sourcetype, which can be compared with the known log sourcetype to update model parameters to improve the machine learning model accuracy. The trained machine learning model may be trained to infer a log sourcetype of a log regardless of the messagetype of the log.
