Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023285688A1] The invention relates to a computer implemented method of training a machine learning model to evaluate the similarity of a candidate text to a reference text for determining or monitoring a health condition, where the model takes a text comparison pair comprising a reference text and a candidate text, each comprising data encoding a text sequence, the method comprising: pre-training an edit encoder to learn to generate an edit-space representation of an input text comparison pair, where the edit-space representation encodes information for mapping the reference text to the candidate text, the edit encoder comprising a machine learning model; and performing task-specific training by adding a task-specific network layer and training the task-specific network layer to map an edit- space representation generated by the pre-trained edit encoder to an output associated with a health condition. Edit-space representations learned in this way are able to encode a greater range of changes in language use than known metrics used to evaluate machine translations.
