Abstract

Methods, systems, and computing devices for visualizing natural language processing algorithm processes are described herein. A plurality of categories may be determined. Each color of a plurality of colors may correspond to the categories. Text content may be processed using a natural language processing algorithm. Confidence values indicating, for each of a plurality of portions of the text content, a degree of confidence corresponding to one or more of the plurality of categories may be determined. Display colors may be determined based on the confidence values. A user interface comprising a visualization of the text content may be displayed, and the user interface may be configured to show each portion of the text content using a display color such that the user interface indicates changes in confidence across the plurality of characters.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

determining a plurality of categories, wherein each category of the plurality of categories corresponds to a different possible meaning of at least a portion of text content;
determining a plurality of colors, wherein each color of the plurality of colors corresponds to a different category of the plurality of categories;
processing, using a natural language processing algorithm, the text content by associating a plurality of characters of the text content with a corresponding one or more of the plurality of categories;
for each character of the plurality of characters of the text content:
determining, based on the processing, a plurality of confidence values that indicate, for the character, a degree of confidence corresponding to one or more of the plurality of categories;
determining, for the character, a display color by blending, based on the plurality of confidence values, at least two of the plurality of colors;
and
causing display, by a computing device, of a user interface comprising a visualization of the text content, wherein the user interface is configured to display each character of the plurality of characters of the text content using a corresponding display color such that the user interface indicates changes in confidence across the plurality of characters.

A method comprising:

processing, using a natural language processing algorithm, text content by associating each of a plurality of portions of the text content with a corresponding one or more of a plurality of categories, wherein each category of the plurality of categories corresponds to a different color of a plurality of colors;
determining, based on the processing, a plurality of confidence values, wherein each confidence value of the plurality of confidence values indicates, for a first portion of the plurality of portions of the text content, a degree of confidence corresponding to a different category of the plurality of categories;
determining, for the first portion of the plurality of portions of the text content, a display color by blending, based on the plurality of confidence values, at least two of the plurality of colors;
generating a user interface comprising a visualization of the text content, wherein the visualization comprises each portion of the plurality of portions of the text content, and wherein the user interface is configured to display the first portion of the plurality of portions of the text content using the display color;
and
causing display, by a computing device, of the user interface.

3 more elements

A method comprising:

determining a plurality of categories, wherein each category of the plurality of categories corresponds to a different possible meaning of at least a portion of text content;
determining a plurality of colors, wherein each color of the plurality of colors corresponds to a different category of the plurality of categories;
processing, using a natural language processing algorithm, the text content by associating each of a plurality of portions of the text content with a corresponding one or more of the plurality of categories;
determining, based on the processing, a plurality of confidence values, wherein each confidence value of the plurality of confidence values indicates, for a first portion of the plurality of portions of the text content, a degree of confidence corresponding to a different category of the plurality of categories;
determining, for the first portion of the plurality of portions of the text content, a display color by blending, based on the plurality of confidence values, at least two of the plurality of colors;
and
causing display, by a computing device, of a user interface comprising a visualization of the text content, wherein the visualization comprises each portion of the plurality of portions of the text content, and wherein the user interface is configured to display the first portion of the plurality of portions of the text content using the display color.
