Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that detects sensitive content in a document. In doing so, the system receives a document, identifies a set of terms in the document that are candidate sensitive terms, and generates a combination of terms based on the identified terms that is associated with a semantic meaning. Next, the system performs searches through a corpus based on the combination of terms and determines hit counts returned for each term in the combination and for the combination. The system then determines whether the combination of terms is sensitive based on the hit count for the combination and the hit counts for the individual terms in the combination, and generates a result that indicates portions of the document which contain sensitive combinations.

International Classification:

G06F017/28

US Classification:

704/005000

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for determining grammatical condensed text structures. Packed structures are determined for text structures based on a parsing grammar. Reduced packed structures are determined by applying transformation rules to packed and/or unpacked elements of the packed structures. A disambiguation model is applied to the reduced packed structure to determine candidate structures. A grammatically correct generation grammar is applied to the candidate structures to determine grammatical condensed text structures.

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that facilitate generation of snippets. In embodiments, text features within a keyword-sentence window are identified. The text features are utilized to determine break features that indicate favorability of breaking at a particular location of the keyword-sentence window. The break features are used to recognize features of partial snippets such that a snippet score to indicate the strength of the partial snippet can be calculated. Snippet scores associated with partial snippets are compared to select an optimal snippet, that is, the snippet having the highest snippet score.
