Engine control statements may be automatically changed in response to detecting a change in the configuration of the website. Images of product records may be correlated with one another by first comparing text of the product records and selecting images for comparison based on composition. Images are compared using a machine learning model. Images determined to be similar may be presented to a human for a correlation decision.

Abstract: As described herein, a system for expanding contractions in electronically stored text includes expanding contractions having only on expanded form. For remaining contractions, a grammar check is performed for all possible expanded forms to determine if an expanded form can be selected based on context and grammar rules. If an expanded form is not evident from the first two steps, all possible expanded forms of the remaining contractions are converted to a vector representation along with the original text. A Word Movers Distance (WMD) for each possible expansion is calculated using the vectors for each possible expansion and the original text. An expanded form is chosen without human intervention based on the grammar score alone or the WMD and the grammar score.
