DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the attached drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding, and they should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art should realize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.


AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a discipline that studies to make computers to simulate certain human thinking processes and intelligent behaviors (such as learning, reasoning, thinking, planning, and the like) with both hardware-level technologies and software-level technologies. Artificial intelligence hardware technologies generally include technologies such as sensors, dedicated artificial intelligence chips, cloud computing, distributed storage, and big data processing technology; artificial intelligence software technologies mainly include technologies in several directions, such as computer vision technology, speech recognition technology, natural language processing technology and machine learning/deep learning, big data processing technology, and knowledge graph technology.


Deep learning is a new research direction in the field of machine learning, and it is introduced into machine learning to bring it closer to the original goal-artificial intelligence. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the use of NLP (Natural Language Processing) technology, and deep learning technology for error correction in text is more and more widely used. NLP is an important direction in the fields of computer science and artificial intelligence, which studies various theories and methods that can realize effective communication between man and computers in natural language. Deep learning is the inherent law and presentation level of learning sample data, and the information obtained during this learning process is of great help to the interpretation of data such as texts, images, and sounds, with the ultimate goal of enabling machines to have analytical and learning abilities like human, and to recognize data such as texts, images, and sounds.


It is noted that, when users are writing documents, usually due to negligence or lack of knowledge of writing standard, numerical input errors or irregular usage will happen. Users' main writing errors are: date legitimacy errors (non-existent date, date deadline error), numerical errors (incorrect amount format, case sensitive mismatch). In addition, due to the Chinese numerical specification, in the using process, the user may improperly use numerical range, and improper conjunction of Arabic numerals and Chinese numerals and other errors. Therefore, a method for error correction of values in text is needed to improve the accuracy of values and improve the user experience.


The technologies for error correction of values in the related art are limited to irregular correcting format, and for more important numerical contents, whether rule-based or language model-based method lack error correction capability due to reasoning calculation. Therefore, for current research, it is the key to perform error correction for numerical contents involving reasoning calculation.


For this reason, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus and an electronic device for error correction of numerical contents in a text. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the error correction of numerical contents is realized according to types of numerical contents, which is not only limited to the error correction of the value format, but also the error correction capability of the value, so as to improve the recall rate of detection and correction of wrong values, and improve the user experience.


The following is a reference to the attached drawings illustrating a method, an apparatus and an electronic device for error correction of numerical contents in a text in the embodiments of the present disclosure.



FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for error correction of numerical contents in a text provided by embodiments of the present disclosure.


It is to be noted that the executive body of the method for error correction of numerical contents in a text of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be an electronic device, specifically, the electronic device can be, but not limited to, a computer, a mobile terminal, which can be but not limited to a personal computer, a smartphone, an IPAD and the like.


As illustrated in FIG. 1, the method for error correction of numerical contents in a text includes the following blocks.


In block S101, a target text to be processed is obtained.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the text where the numerical contents to be corrected is located is called the target text to be processed, in which the target text can be a paragraph, or a passage. The length and type of the target text are not limited.


In block S102, original numerical contents included in the target text are determined.


Specifically, after obtaining the target text to be processed, in order to facilitate error correction of numerical contents, one or more original numerical contents included in the target text are extracted.


For example, the target text is “All senior three students will participate in training organized by school for a period of three months from Mar. 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020, with corresponding examination organized after the training is completed”, and the original numerical content is “for a period of three months from Mar. 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020”. The original numerical content is extracted for subsequent error correction.


In block S103, target types corresponding to the original numerical contents are determined.


Specifically, after each original numerical content is determined, the corresponding target type can be determined according to the feature of each original numerical content, in which the feature can be the unit of the value (for example, “seconds”, “meter”, and the like), or can be a specific symbol (for example, “Y”, “%”, and the like). The type of the value can be divided into amount type value, date type value, time type value, length type value, and the like, or it can be divided into absolute value (not relevant to the context), associated value (value relevant to the context, such as counting type value), in which the context includes words and numerical contents.


As mentioned above, the target types are determined according to the features of each original numerical content. In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a deep learning model can be trained in advance, that is, an original numerical content-target type model, and the obtained original numerical contents can be input into the model to output corresponding target types.


For example, when the original numerical content is “30 seconds”, the corresponding target type is a time type value; when the original numerical content is “59 yuan”, the corresponding target type is an amount type value.


In block S104, error correction is performed on each original numerical content according to an error correction manner corresponding to each target type.


Specifically, the numerical contents of different target types can correspond to different methods for error correction, and each target type corresponds to one method for error correction. Therefore, after obtaining the target types corresponding to each original numerical content, the corresponding method for error correction of each target type can be obtained. The method for error correction is used to correct the corresponding original numerical contents. For example, the numerical content “30 seconds” is corrected by the method for error correction of time type values.


There may be only one original numerical content in the target text, or there may be two or more original numerical contents.


When there is only one value or a plurality of absolute values in the target text, the writing legitimacy of the numerical content can be checked and corrected based on the legal writing format corresponding to the target type to which the numerical content belongs. For example, when the original numerical content is “0219 (year)”, the corresponding target type is date, and when the numerical content is corrected according to the legal writing format corresponding to the date, the corrected numerical content is “2019 (year)”.


When there are two or a plurality of original numerical contents in the target text, and there is a correlation between original numerical contents, not only the writing legitimacy is checked and corrected, but also the correctness of the numerical contents can be checked and corrected based on the association relationship. For example, when the original numerical content is “for a period of 3 months from Mar. 1, 2020 to Jun. 1, 2020”, the corresponding target type is date. The original numerical content is corrected according to the legal writing format based on date and the relationship among the three values, and the corrected numerical content is “for a period of 3 months from Mar. 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020”.


The method for error correction of numerical contents in a text of the embodiments of the present disclosure determines an error correction manner corresponding to the original numerical content according to the target type corresponding to the original numerical content, so as to correct the corresponding numerical content according to the method for error correction, thereby realizing the error correction of the numerical content, which is not only limited to the error correction of numerical format, but also the logical error correction of the numerical content. It also improves the numerical error correction capability, thereby improving the recall rate of the detection and correction of the wrong value.


In order to ensure the reliability when determining the target type, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when determining the target type corresponding to each original value content, the target text can be traversed based on a specified or preset keyword to determine the original numerical contents included in the target text that match the specified keyword; and/or, the target text can be traversed based on a specified or preset template to determine the original numerical contents included in the target text that match the specified template.


The template may include a numerical content template and a regular template, and the template and the keyword can be flexibly made by the user to adapt to the original numerical contents in different application scenarios.


Specifically, after obtaining the target text to be processed, the target text can be traversed. When the target text includes the specified keyword and/or the target text that satisfy the specified template, the text fragment where the keyword or the template is located are extracted, which is called the original numerical content.


It is to be noted that the extraction of original numerical contents in a target text in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be in any method, as long as the numerical contents can be extracted, but the method may include but not limited to extract numerical contents based on keywords, numerical content templates, or regular templates.


As a result, the original numerical contents included in the target text are determined based on the specified keyword and/or template, and the keyword or template can be specified by the user, enabling the user to fully combine application scenarios for flexible configuration and ensuring reliability to better meet the needs of different businesses.


In the above error correction of original numerical contents, when two or more original numerical contents are extracted, there may be correlations between each of the original numerical contents. For example, one of the original values is calculated by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of other original values. In this case, not only the writing legitimacy of each original numerical content is corrected, but also the content of the value itself is corrected. For example, firstly, the result of other original values obtained by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is calculated, and whether one of the original values matches the result is determined, if yes, the original value will be corrected. Alternatively, the original numerical content may be relevant to the contextual content, that is, the original numerical value is inferred from the context of the text. In this case, not only the writing legitimacy of each original numerical content is corrected, but also the contextual content is analyzed according to natural language processing technology to obtain the result of the analysis, and errors are corrected when the original value is inconsistent with the result.


It is to be noted that when two or a plurality of original numerical contents need to be corrected, the data format in each numerical content may be different. In this case, in order to facilitate the checking of the wrong value to improve the recall rate of the correction of the numerical contents, each original numerical content can be normalized.


That is, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target text includes N original numerical contents, in which N is an integer greater than 1. After the above block S103, it may also include: performing normalization on M original numerical contents according to data formats associated with the target types corresponding to the M original numerical contents in case that the target types corresponding to the M original numerical contents are the same, in which M is a positive integer less than or equal to N.


For example, when the target types corresponding to the M original numerical contents are all date type, the M original numerical contents can be normalized to formats such as “xx (month) xx (day), xxxx (year)”, “xx (month) xxxx (year)” or “xx (month) xx (day)”, and the original forms of “x (year)”, “x (month)” and “x (day)” representing the time interval are retained. Then, error correction is performed on each original numerical content according to an error correction manner corresponding to the date type.


As a result, the M original numerical contents are normalized and then corrected, which improves the standardization, thereby fully improving the recall rate of numerical error correction.


When there are only associated values in the target text, the contextual content is needed to be analyzed or other values is needed to be reasoned and calculated so as to correct the associated values. For example, when the original numerical contents include the counting type value, it is necessary to correct the ending counting point based on the counting type value and the initial counting point.


That is, as illustrated in FIG. 2, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target text includes a counting type value. At this time, the above block S104 may include the following blocks.


In block S201, an initial counting point and an ending counting point corresponding to the counting type value are determined.


The target text may clearly record the initial counting point and the ending counting point, if the target text does not clearly record the initial counting point and the ending counting point, the initial counting point and the ending counting point can be determined based on contextual reasoning.


In block S202, a target count value is determined according to the ending counting point and the initial counting point.


For example, the difference between the ending counting point and the initial counting point is the target count value.


In block S203, the counting type value is replaced by the target count value in case that the target count value does not match the counting type value.


Specifically, after the target count value is obtained, it is determined whether the target count value matches the counting type value, if no, the counting type value is replaced by the target count value, so as to realize the error correction of the counting type value. The replacement can be performed directly, or with a revision mark, or with other replacement methods, and the numerical content after the replacement is marked.


For example, the original numerical content is “there are 3 seats in total from seat number 5 to 8”, in which the counting type value is 3, the ending counting point is 6, and the initial counting point is 5. According to the ending counting point and the initial counting point, it is determined that the target count value is 4, which does not match the count value 3. Therefore, the counting type value 3 is replaced by the target count value 4, and the corrected numerical content “there are 3 seats in total from seat number 5 to 8” is obtained.


As mentioned above, when the target text includes a counting type value, error correction is performed on the counting type value. In addition, when the initial counting point or the ending counting point is clearly recorded in the text, the initial counting point or the ending counting point can also be corrected.


For example, when the original numerical content is “for a period of 3 months from Mar. 1, 2020 to Jun. 1, 2020”. At this time, the time interval from Mar. 1, 2020 to Jun. 1, 2020 can be calculated, which is not 3 months, so the date that is 3 months later from Mar. 1, 2020 is calculated as May 31, 2020, and Jun. 1, 2020 is corrected to May 31, 2020, that is, the corrected numerical content is “for a period of 3 months from Mar. 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020”. It is to be noted that only symbols “˜” or “—” can be used as connectors between two values that indicate a range of values. When correcting a value range, the symbol between the two values that indicate a range is checked. In the case of non-compliance, corrections are made.


As illustrated in FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target text includes at least two consecutive amount type values. At this time, the above block S104 may include the following blocks.


In block S301, normalization is performed on at least two consecutive amount type values to obtain at least two amount type values in a same format.


In this embodiment, the format of the amount type value can be uniformly converted into an Arabic numerical format or a Chinese numerical format. The conversion method can be, but not limited to: format conversion from Chinese numerical value to Arabic numerical value; format conversion from Arabic numerical value to Chinese numerical value; conversion from mixed Arabic numerical value and Chinese numerical value to Arabic numerical value; conversion from mixed Arabic numerical value and Chinese numerical value to Chinese numerical value; and standardization of mixed Arabic numerical value and Chinese numerical value (standardized according to the use of national standard digitals).


In block S302, target values corresponding to remaining amount type values except for a first amount type value in the at least two consecutive amount type values are determined according to the first amount type value in case that the at least two amount type values in the same format are inconsistent.


Specifically, it can be judged whether at least two consecutive amounts normalized to a Chinese numerical format or an Arabic numerical format are consistent. When they are inconsistent, the target value corresponding to the remaining amount type value is determined according to the first amount type value.


In block S303, the remaining amount type values are replaced by the target values.


Specifically, replacement can be performed directly, or with a revision mark, or with other replacement methods, and the numerical content after replacement can be marked.


For example, when the original numerical content is “The total amount of the project is ¥43,6382 (RMB Four Hundred and Thirty-Eight Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Two)”, the Chinese numerical value is normalized to the Arabic numerical value and then it becomes “The total amount of the project is ¥43,6382 (¥43,6382)”. The two Arabic numerical values are inconsistent after comparison. Therefore, according to the first value of ¥43,6382, the latter value is determined to be ¥43,6382. After the correction, the Arabic numerical value is converted to a Chinese numerical value, and the numerical content is corrected to “The total amount of the project is ¥43,6382 (RMB Four Hundred and Thirty-Six Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Two)”.


As a result, the error correction of the counting type value and the amount type value can be realized through reasoning calculation, and the recall rate of the error correction can be improved.


When the original numerical content is corrected, the user can be prompted to make modifications through voice prompts and text prompts. Furthermore, the corrected numerical content can be directly displayed at the corresponding position to improve the user experience. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIG. 4, performing error correction on each original numerical content in block S104 may include the following blocks.


In block S401, a second display mode corresponding to numerical contents subjected to the error correction is determined according to a first display mode corresponding to the original numerical contents in the target text.


The first display mode is a display mode of the original numerical contents, and the second display mode is different from the first display mode.


In block S402, the numerical contents subjected to the error correction are added to a position where the original numerical contents are located based on the second display mode.


That is to say, the corrected numerical content is added to the location in a different display mode from the original numerical contents. In this way, the original numerical contents and the corrected numerical content can be displayed differently, which is convenient for users to view.


For example, the corrected numerical content is highlighted, or added to the target text in a special font, or in a revision mode.


As a result, not only the error correction of the original numerical contents is realized, but also the corrected numerical content is appropriately added to the target text in a different display mode, which improves the user experience.


As described above, error correction is performed on the original numerical contents in the target text written by the user. In actual applications, the user may not correct some of the original numerical contents. At this time, according to the user's instruction, the numerical contents including a specified fragment can be not corrected according to the user's needs, and the error correction process can be directly exited or the error correction of the next numerical content can be performed.


Based on the above description, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the method for error correction of numerical contents in a text includes the following blocks.


In block S501, it is determined whether the target text to be processed is not empty, if the target text to be processed is not empty, the block S502 is executed; if it is empty, the process ends.


In block S502, a target text to be processed is obtained.


In block S503, the target text is traversed based on a specified keyword and/or template to determine the original numerical contents included in the target text.


In block S504, it is determined whether the original numerical contents meet the error correction condition, if yes the block S505 is executed; if no, the process ends.


The value that meets the error correction condition can be input to the error corrector for error correction. When there is no value type that meets the input requirement of the error corrector, the process ends.


In block S505, the error corrector is enabled for error correction.


In block S506, normalization is performed on the numerical format.


In block S507, it is determined whether a reasoning calculation is required, if yes, the block S508 is executed; if no, the block S509 is executed.


In block S508, the logic error is corrected.


In block S509, the writing legitimacy is corrected.


In block S5010, it is determined whether the exit condition is met, if yes, the block S5012 is executed; if no, the block S5011 is executed.


When there is no need to display the corrected numerical contents, the exit condition is met.


In block S5011, the numerical contents subjected to the error correction are added.


According to the method for error correction of numerical contents in a text of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an error correction manner corresponding to the original numerical contents is determined according to the target types corresponding to the original numerical contents, so as to correct the corresponding numerical contents according to the method for error correction, thereby realizing the error correction of the numerical contents. Therefore, it is not only limited to the error correction of the numerical format, but also the logical error correction of the numerical contents, so as to improve the numerical error correction capability and thereby improving the recall rate of detection and correction of wrong values, and the extraction and the rule of inference of the original numerical contents are all configurable, with good configurability, which enables users to fully combine application scenarios for flexible configuration and to better meet the needs of different businesses.
