Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to text generation with a customizable style. In a method, a first natural language is received; the first natural language text is converted, via a text generation model, into a second natural language text that at least partly reflects the meaning of the first natural language text and has a style distinguishable from the first natural language text, the text generation model comprising a modifiable parameter; and in response to receiving a modification to the parameter, the first natural language text is converted, via the text generation model, into a third natural language text that at least partly reflects the meaning of the first natural language text and includes a style distinguishable from both the first natural language text and the second natural language text.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution that enables a machine to automatically generate a melody. In this solution, user emotion and/or environment information is used to select a first melody feature parameter from a plurality of melody feature parameters, wherein each of the plurality of melody feature parameters corresponds to a music style of one of a plurality of reference melodies. The first melody feature parameter is further used to generate a first melody that conforms to the music style and is different from the reference melody. Thus, a melody that matches user emotions and/or environmental information may be automatically created.

Abstract: Methods and systems for linking comments to portions of content items. An example computing device receives information associated with a content item produced by a source system, the content item being accessible to other the computing devices via a network and receives a comment associated with the content item, the comment produced by one of the other computing devices. In response to receiving the information and the comment, the computing device predicts a subsection of the content item to link to the received comment based at least on details associated with the content item and the comment, then makes information associated with the predicted subsection of the content item available to other computing devices requesting access to the content item.

Abstract: A method and system for providing an application-specific embedding for an entire text-to-content suggestions service is disclosed. The method includes accessing a dataset containing unlabeled training data collected from an application, the unlabeled training data being collected under user privacy constraints, applying an unsupervised ML model to the dataset to generate a pretrained embedding; and utilizing the pretrained embedding to train the text-to-content suggestion ML model utilized by the application.

Abstract: According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is provided a solution for generating a summary of a document. In this solution, feature information of pages comprised in a document is extracted, which characterizes at least one type of content contained in each page. Respective importance of the pages is determined at least based on the extracted feature information. A summary of the document is generated for the document by selecting a predetermined number of pages less than the number of the pages based on the respective importance. Through the solution, instead of providing all the pages, pages containing important content may be determined automatically to serve as the summary of the document. This summary allows the user to learn quickly main content of the document, shorten the time consumed in browsing all documents and/or facilitate location of a document of interest as soon as possible.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an approach for fact checking based on semantic graphs. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining a text to be fact checked, a plurality of evidence sentences related to the text are retrieved from an evidence database. Then, semantic graphs of the text and the evidence sentences are constructed based on the semantic analysis, and a veracity of a statement in the text can be determined based on the semantic graphs. Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a graph-based reasoning approach for fact checking, and use the constructed semantic graphs to facilitate verification of the truthfulness of the text, thereby improving the accuracy for fact checking.

Abstract: In implementations of the subject matter described herein, a new approach for presenting a response to a message in a conversation is proposed. Generally speaking, in response to receiving a message in a conversation, the received message will be matched with one or more documents on the sentence basis. That is, the received message is compared with the sentences from a document(s), rather than predefined query-response pairs. In this way, a whole sentence may be selected from the document as a candidate response. Then the suitability of this sentence with respect to the ongoing conversation will be determined, and the response will be generated and rendered in an adaptive way based on the suitability. As a result, the user experiences may be significantly enhanced in the chatbot scenario.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an assertion-based question answering manner. After a question and the related passage are obtained, an assertion answer to the question is determined based on content of the passage, and the assertion answer has a predetermined structure and represents a complete semantic meaning. Then, the assertion answer to the question may be outputted to the user. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the question and the relevant passage are used as input, and a semi-structured assertion answer is output. The assertion answer according to embodiments of the present disclosure can provide richer semantic content than the traditional short answer, and provide a more concise expression than the traditional long answer, thereby ensuring accuracy of the answer while improving the user experience.
