OpenAI patents system that edits text using language models and user instructions
OpenAI has been granted a patent for a system that automatically edits text by combining user instructions with a language model. The system processes an input prompt, generates new text based on specific parameters, and replaces parts of the original text to create a revised version.
In the filing’s own words
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and computer-readable media for automatically generating and editing text. In an embodiment, a method may include receiving an input text prompt and receiving one or more user instructions. The method may also include accessing a language model based on the input text prompt and the one or more user instructions. The method may also include outputting, using the accessed language model, language model output text. The method may also include editing the input text prompt based on the language model and the one or more user instructions by replacing at least a portion of the input text prompt with the language model output text.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A system comprising: at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising: receiving a first input text prompt; receiving one or more user instructions; normalizing the first input text prompt; accessing a language model using the at least one processor based on the input text prompt, at least one model parameter, and the one or more user instructions, wherein the at least one model parameters comprises a sampling temperature parameter or a nucleus sampling parameter; generating one or more context parameters based on the normalized first input text prompt and the one or more user instructions, wherein the one or more context parameters indicate a causal reasoning associated with the first input text prompt; editing, using the language model, the first input text prompt based on the one or more user instructions and the one or more context parameters to generate a first output text by replacing at least a portion of the first input text prompt; editing, using the language model, a second input text prompt based on the one or more context parameters to generate a second output text; optimizing the language model by maximizing a proximity metric reflecting an alignment between at least one of the first output text and the second output text with the one or more context parameters; and editing, using the optimized language model, a third input text prompt to generate a third output text.
