Method and Apparatus for Triggering the Automatic Generation of Narratives Artificial intelligence methods and systems for triggering the generation of narratives are disclosed. Specific embodiments relate to real-time evaluation and automated generation of narrative stories based on received data. For example, data can be tested against data representative of a plurality of story angles to determine whether a narrative story incorporating one or more such story angles is to be automatically generated.

A method for dialog state tracking includes decoding, by a fertility decoder, encoded dialog information associated with a dialog to generate fertilities for generating dialog states of the dialog. Each dialog state includes one or more domains. Each domain includes one or more slots. Each slot includes one or more slot tokens. The method further includes generating an input sequence to a state decoder based on the fertilities. A total number of each slot token in the input sequence is based on a corresponding fertility. The method further includes encoding, by a state encoder, the input sequence to the state decoder, and decoding, by the state decoder, the encoded input sequence to generate a complete sequence of the dialog states.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology can be used in combination with composable communication goal statements to facilitate a user's ability to quickly structure story outlines using “explanation” communication goals in a manner usable by an NLG narrative generation system without any need for the user to directly author computer code. This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired explanation communication goal such that the narratives will express various ideas that are deemed relevant to a given explanation communication goal.

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for automatically generating context-based alternative text using artificial intelligence techniques are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes generating text captions for an image derived from a web page by processing the image using an artificial intelligence-based image captioning model; determining context information pertaining to the image by processing the image using an artificial intelligence-based context and emotion recognition library; generating context-based alternative text for at least a portion of the image by processing, using at least one artificial intelligence-based alternative text generation model, at least a portion of one or more of the generated text caption(s) for the image and the determined context information pertaining to at least a portion of the image; and performing one or more automated actions based on the generated context-based alternative text.

The efficiency of summary learning that requires an additional input parameter is improved by causing a computer to execute: a first learning step of learning a first model for calculating an importance value of each component in source text, with use of a first training data group and a second training data group, the first training data group including source text, a query related to a summary of the source text, and summary data related to the query in the source text, and the second training group including source text and summary data generated based on the source text; and a second learning step of learning a second model for generating summary data from source text of training data, with use of each piece of training data in the second training data group and a plurality of components extracted for each piece of training data in the second training data group based on importance values calculated by the first model for components of the source text of the piece of training data.

A method and an apparatus related to sentence generation are provided. In the method, a known token is determined based on a first sentence. A second sentence is determined based on the known token and a first masked token through a language model. The first masked token and the known token are inputted into the language model, to determine a first predicted token corresponding to the first masked token. The language model is trained based on an encoder of a bidirectional transformer. A second masked token is inserted when the determined result of the first predicted token is determined. The second masked token is inputted into the language model, to determine a second predicted token corresponding to the second masked token. The second sentence includes the first predicted token, the second predicted token and the known token. The second sentence is a sentence to respond to the first sentence.

Recommendation and approval of a header for a message includes generating a proposed header based on the name and/or brand of the entity and product and/or content of the message, classifying the proposed header using a machine learning model trained based on historical complaints on previously used headers related to the entity name and brand and product and/or content of the message and recommending the proposed header based on the classification. The training of the machine learning model may include learning a threshold wherein headers having a classification greater than the threshold are not recommended as having a high probability of being wrongly associated with the requesting entity and headers having a classification lower than the threshold are recommended as having a high probability of not being wrongly associated with the requesting entity.
