An annotation assistant for semi-automatic creation of annotated machine learning training data comprises a graphical annotation interface provider that provides a graphical annotation interface for displaying a sequence of tokens to be annotated and allowing a span selection by a user. An automatic span tagger comprises an artificial neural network configured to assign class probabilities to the tokens of the sequence of tokens and a processor-based path-scoring algorithm for computing scores for semantic attribute paths of the span selection. The graphical annotation interface is further configured for displaying the scored semantic attribute paths, and for receiving a selection among the scored semantic attribute paths from the user.

Method and system for extraction and annotation using semantic attribute paths

In methods and systems for providing information to a user relating to a point-of-interest (POI), a query is received via a communication network. A processor receives information relating to at least one POI based on the received query. The retrieved information comprises a set of retrieved POI tips relating to the POI. Each of the set of retrieved POI tips is previously extracted from POI free-text reviews and respectively associated in the data storage with one or more semantic categories based on a predefined tip ontology. The processor generates a user interface interactively displaying the retrieved POI tips and the semantic categories associated with each of the POI tips. The displayed POI tips are sorted by their associated displayed semantic categories. The generated user interface is transmitted to a computing device for display.

A system and method for classifying comments are disclosed. The method includes receiving a collection of comments. Each of the comments in the collection includes text in a natural language and is associated with a previously-submitted idea submission which includes a description of an idea. The method further includes natural language processing each of the comments to identify dependencies (syntactic and/or semantic relations between text elements) in at least a part of the comment. Based on the identified dependencies, the comments are each automatically classified into one (or more) of a plurality of comment classes. The comment classes may include a first class for reaction to the content of the idea, a second class for expression of a commenter's judgment of an idea's value, and a third class for reaction to an idea generation process in which the associated idea submission is made. Information based on the assigned comment classes is output. For example, actions are proposed to use the comments according to their class.

Method and system for classifying reviewers' comments and recommending related actions in idea-generating social media platforms

A system and method for providing a factuality assessment of a retrieved information source's statement are disclosed. The method includes receiving a user's query which identifies an information source whose statements are to be retrieved, retrieving documents which refer to the information source, mapping statements in the retrieved documents to their authors, identifying as information source statements, the mapped statements that are mapped to an author which is compatible with the information source, and for at least one of the information source's statements, assessing a factuality of the information source's statement according to the information source.
