The present disclosure provides systems and methods that leverage machine-learned models (e.g., neural networks) to provide enhanced communication assistance. In particular, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can include or otherwise leverage a machine-learned communication assistance model to detect problematic statements included in a communication and/or provide suggested replacement statements to respectively replace the problematic statements. In one particular example, the communication assistance model can include a long short-term memory recurrent neural network that detects an inappropriate tone or unintended meaning within a user-composed communication and provides one or more suggested replacement statements to replace the problematic statements.
