Abstract

Claims (59)

1. A method for analyzing a digital message for presence of a non-compliant expression within the digital message, the digital message including at least one segment and being created using a computing device including a text input hardware device, the method comprising:

capturing keystrokes at the text input hardware device;

analyzing the keystrokes to capture the digital message including an end of the at least one segment; and

assessing the at least one segment for presence of a concept flag in the at least one segment, the concept flag being associated with the non-compliant expression, wherein assessing includes

obtaining a relation pattern for the concept flag,

generating a dependency parse graph for the at least one segment,

comparing the dependency parse graph to the relation pattern, and

if at least a portion of the dependency parse graph matches the relation pattern, then concluding the at least one segment contains the concept flag associated with the non-compliant expression.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

blocking the at least one segment containing the non-compliant expression from being transmitted from the computing device.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the at least one segment comprises a plurality of portions, and

wherein blocking includes

providing a block threshold value;

assigning a score to each one of the plurality of portions of the at least one segment based on the assessing;

summing scores of the plurality of portions of the at least one segment to generate a sum score;

comparing the sum score to the block threshold value; and

if the sum score exceeds the block threshold value, then precluding the at least one segment containing the concept flag from being transmitted from the computing device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying a notification on the computing device, the notification including an indication of the non-compliant expression contained in the at least one segment.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the concept flag includes a plurality of concept flag parts, each one of the plurality of concept flag parts being associated with a set of word alternatives related to the non-compliant expression,

wherein assessing the at least one segment includes:

separating the at least one segment into individual words,

determining a lemma for each one of the individual words, and

for the lemma determined for each one of the individual words, analyzing whether the lemma corresponds to one of the plurality of concept flag parts.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein generating the dependency parse graph for the at least one segment includes

setting each one of the individual words as a node in the at least one segment,

representing any relation between nodes as edges, and

identifying a relation pattern from the edges.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein assessing the at least one segment further includes considering exceptions for the lemma determined for each one of the individual words, the exceptions including at least one of inflections of lemmas and jargon words.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein assessing the at least one segment further includes considering relations between lemmas determined for different ones of the individual words using a token lemma filter.

9. A system for analyzing a digital message for presence of a non-compliant expression within the digital message, the digital message being created using a computing device including a text input hardware device, the system comprising:

one or more processing devices and memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processing devices, the memory comprising processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform actions comprising:

capturing keystrokes at the text input hardware device associated with creation of the digital message, the digital message including at least one segment;

analyzing the keystrokes to capture the at least one segment and identifying an end of the at least one segment;

assessing the at least one segment for presence of a concept flag in the at least one segment, the concept flag being associated with the non-compliant expression, assessing including

obtaining a relation pattern for the concept flag,

generating a dependency parse graph for the at least one segment,

comparing the dependency parse graph to the relation pattern, and

if at least a portion of the dependency parse graph matches the relation pattern, then concluding the at least one segment contains the concept flag associated with the non-compliant expression.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising:

blocking the at least one segment containing the non-compliant expression from being transmitted from the computing device.

11. The system of claim 9 , further comprising:

displaying a notification on the computing device, the notification including an indication of the non-compliant expression contained in the at least one segment.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital message includes at least one of an email, an instant message (IM), a message sent using a short message service (SMS) application, a text message, a social media message, and a social media comment.

13. One or more non-transitory, machine-readable media having machine-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform actions comprising:

capturing keystrokes at a text input hardware device associated with creation of a digital message, the digital message including at least one segment,

analyzing the keystrokes to capture the at least one segment and identifying an end of the at least one segment;

assessing the at least one segment for presence of a concept flag in the at least one segment, the concept flag being associated with a non-compliant expression, assessing including

obtaining a relation pattern for the concept flag,

generating a dependency parse graph for the at least one segment,

comparing the dependency parse graph to the relation pattern, and

if at least a portion of the dependency parse graph matches the relation pattern, then concluding the at least one segment contains the concept flag associated with the non-compliant expression.

14. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media of claim 13 further comprising:

blocking the at least one segment containing the non-compliant expression from being transmitted from a computing device.

15. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media of claim 13 further comprising:

displaying a notification on a computing device, the notification including an indication of the non-compliant expression contained in the at least one segment.

16. The one or more non-transitory, machine-readable media of claim 13 wherein the digital message includes at least one of an email, an instant message (IM), a message sent using a short message service (SMS) application, a text message, a social media message, and a social media comment.
