  • Patent number: 11126348
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a messaging user interface of a message application, including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and a plurality of other users, a message-input area, and a plurality of avatars corresponding to the plurality of other users. The plurality of avatars are displayed as a stack of avatars, with a first avatar of avatars displayed on the top of the stack of avatars. In response to detecting an input by a first contact on the touch-sensitive surface while a focus selector is at a first location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first avatar, if the input meets menu-activation-criteria, a menu that contains activatable menu items associated with the first avatar overlaid on the messaging user interface is displayed, and if the input meets avatar-spreading-criteria the plurality of avatars are displayed in an array.

  • Patent number: 11112944
    Abstract: Provided is a keyboard navigation menu which provides navigation within a software application using keyboard commands instead of mouse/cursor based inputs. The keyboard activation menu can improve upon traditional mouse-based menus which often include hidden tabs or require multiple mouse inputs. In one example, the method may include displaying, via a user interface, a keyboard navigation menu comprising a plurality of different keyboard inputs that when pressed navigate a view of the user interface to a plurality of pages of a software application, respectively, detecting a keyboard input from among the plurality of different keyboard inputs which corresponds to a second page from among the plurality of pages of the software application, and changing a view of the user interface from the first page to the second page of the software application that corresponds to the detected keyboard input.

  • Patent number: 11080598
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, factual question generation from freeform content is achieved through semantic role labeling and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Specifically, semantic role labeling is used to identify an answer phrase so that it can be replaced with an appropriate question word. RNNs are then used to extract triples (Subject-Object-Predicate) from the sentence, and each of these triples can be used as an answer phrase/word. An RNN is then fed with training data to generate the questions more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 10943178
    Abstract: An online system maintains one or more models that determine likelihoods of a user performing various interactions after being presented with a content item. Additionally, the online system receives information identifying interactions by users with content, and generates embeddings for various users based on the interactions by the users with content. When determining whether to present a content item including an objective identifying an interaction to a user, the online system applies a maintained model to determine a likelihood of the user performing the interaction identified by the objective after being presented with the content item. Additionally, the online system determines a similarity of the embedding of the user to embeddings of users who performed the interaction identified by the objective. Based on a combination of the likelihood determined by the model and the similarity, the online system determines whether to present the content item to the user.
