  • Patent number: 11886481
    Abstract: A frame represents a concept with a set of roles and a set of linguistic rules. If a linguistic rule is satisfied, by a unit of natural language discourse (UNLD), the frame is invoked and a frame instance produced. A frame instance specifies how the UNLD, with particular values drawn from the UNLD, fulfills the roles of the frame. A frame-based search, of target content, is accomplished in response to a frame-based user query. The search result is comprised of records, where each record is a result of a match, of the frame-based query, at a location in the target content. If the frame-based query is implicit, a match requires only that the location of the target content invokes the appropriate frame. If the frame-based query is role-specific, in addition to invoking the appropriate frame, a query search term needs to be found in the value for a role of the frame instance produced.

  • Patent number: 11886446
    Abstract: Existing research on cross-lingual retrieval cannot take good advantage of large-scale pretrained language models, such as multilingual BERT and XLM. The absence of cross-lingual passage-level relevance data for finetuning and the lack of query-document style pretraining are some of the key factors of this issue. Accordingly, embodiments of two novel retrieval-oriented pretraining tasks are presented herein to further pretrain cross-lingual language models for downstream retrieval tasks, such as cross-lingual ad-hoc retrieval (CUR) and cross-lingual question answering (CLQA). In one or more embodiments, distant supervision data was constructed from multilingual texts using section alignment to support retrieval-oriented language model pretraining. In one or more embodiments, directly finetuning language models on part of an evaluation collection was performed by making Transformers capable of accepting longer sequences.

  • Patent number: 11887395
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatic template selection for extracting data from an input electronic document is provided. The method includes receiving a first set of candidate templates and an input electronic document. For each candidate template, a template similarity ratio value is calculated that represents a similarity of the candidate template to the input electronic document. The first set of candidate templates are ranked according to the template similarity ratios and then matched to the input electronic document resulting in generating a normalized similarity score for each particular candidate from among the candidate templates. Differences in normalized similarity scores of successive pairs of the candidate templates is determined and a breaking point is established. A second set of candidate templates is formed by selecting candidate templates that are ranked above the breaking point. Data from the input electronic document is extracted using the second set of candidate templates.

  • Patent number: 11880270
    Abstract: Dump file content and other event data is pruned and prioritized to assist analysis of hangs, crashes, and other circumstances. An event data pruner condenses or excludes certain event data. A cluster creator creates clusters from pruned and vectorized event data, using a clustering algorithm and a similarity metric, without any prior specification of the desired number of clusters. A cluster ranker ranks clusters according to event data volume and thread importance, thus prioritizing the event data for inspection. A results presenter configures a user interface to present ranked clusters, their associated data, data reduction statistics, regression analysis results, and other data reduction processing results. Thus, the innovative functionality assists analysis and prioritized inspection of event data by an analyst, surfacing organized event data that is relevant to the circumstance under investigation, or supporting comparison of clusters from before and after a change in the circumstance, or doing both.
