  • Patent number: 10915701
    Abstract: Caption association techniques as part of digital content creation by a computing device are described. The computing device is configured to extract text features and bounding boxes from an input document. These text features and bounding boxes are processed to reduce a number of possible search spaces. The processing may involve generating and utilizing a language model that captures the semantic meaning of the text features to identify and filter static text, and may involve identifying and filtering inline captions. A number of bounding boxes are identified for a potential caption. The potential caption and corresponding identified bounding boxes are concatenated into a vector. The concatenated vector is used to identify relationships among the bounding boxes to determine a single bounding box associated with the caption. The determined association is utilized to generate an output digital document that includes a structured association between the caption and a data entry field.

  • Patent number: 10878186
    Abstract: The embodiments present a new class of content masking attacks against the Portable Document Format (PDF) standard. The attacks cause documents to appear different than the underlying content extracted from the documents by information-based services. The first attack allows academic paper writers and reviewers to collude via subverting the automatic reviewer assignment systems in current use by academic conferences. The second attack renders plagiarism detection software ineffective, targeting specific small plagiarism similarity scores to appear natural and evade detection. The final attack places masked content into the indexes for various search engines, which renders as information entirely different from the keywords used to locate it. The final attack enables spam, profane, or possibly illegal content to go unnoticed by these search engines but still be returned in search results.

  • Patent number: 10592743
    Abstract: An automatic method of determining an image composition procedure that generates a new image visualization based on aggregations and variations of input images. A set of input images is received. Visual features are extracted from the input images. Context associated with input images is received. Based on the extracted visual features and the context associated with the input images, a composition procedure comprising a set of image operations to apply on the set of input images is learned. One or more image operations in the composition procedure are determined to present to a user. A difference visualization image associated with the input images may be generated by executing the one or more image operations.

  • Patent number: 10558822
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for anonymizing electronic documents. In accordance with one or more embodiments, structurally-similar electronic documents can be identified among a group of electronic documents (e.g., e-mail messages, documents containing HTML formatting, etc.). A hash function can be specifically tailored to identify the similarly structured documents. The structurally-similar electronic documents can be grouped into a same equivalence class. Masked anonymized document samples can be generated from the structurally-similar electronic documents utilizing the same equivalence class, thereby ensuring that the anonymized document samples when viewed as a part of an audit remain anonymous. An online process is provided to guarantee k-anonymity of the users over the entire lifetime of the auditing process. An auditor's productivity can be measured based on the amount of content revealed to the auditor within the samples he is assigned.

  • Patent number: 10552771
    Abstract: A device may receive first data that identifies operations of an organization. The operations may be associated with a first manner in which the organization stores second data or a second manner in which the organization generates a contract. The device may process the first data to identify the operations of the organization. The device may perform a first analysis of the first data to determine whether the operations of the organization satisfy a set of rules. The set of rules may indicate the first manner in which the organization is to store the second data. The device may perform a second analysis of the second data to identify an error associated with the second data. The device may perform an action to modify the operations of the organization or to facilitate fixing of the error based on a result of the first analysis or the second analysis.
