Certain embodiments involve using a machine-learning tool to generate metadata identifying segments and topics for text within a document. For instance, in some embodiments, a text processing system obtains input text and applies a segmentation-and-labeling model to the input text. The segmentation-and-labeling model is trained to generate a predicted segment for the input text using a segmentation network. The segmentation-and-labeling model is also trained to generate a topic for the predicted segment using a pooling network of the model to the predicted segment. The output of the model is usable for generating metadata identifying the predicted segment and the associated topic.

Machine-learning tool for generating segmentation and topic metadata for documents

Systems and methods for natural language processing are described. One or more embodiments of the present disclosure identify a claim from a document, wherein the claim corresponds to a topic, create a graph comprising a plurality of nodes having a plurality of node types and a plurality of edges having a plurality of edge types, wherein one of the nodes represents the claim, and wherein each of the edges represents a relationship between a corresponding pair of the nodes, encode the claim based on the graph using a graph convolutional network (GCN) to obtain an encoded claim, classify the claim by decoding the encoded claim to obtain a stance label that indicates a stance of the claim towards the topic, and transmit information indicating a viewpoint of the document towards the topic based on the stance label.
