  • Patent number: 11755821
    Abstract: A highlighting engine modifies a target document by identifying and highlighting a set of text passages. The highlighting engine receives a training set of data including documents that each include a set of highlighted text passages. The highlighting engine trains a machine learned model using the training set of data. The trained machine learned model, when applied to subsequent identified candidate sets of text passages within the target document, identifies the set of text passages to highlight. The highlighting engine modifies the target document with the highlighted set of text passages and provides the modified target document for display via an interface. The highlighted set of text passages enable a user to quickly read and understand the target document.

  • Patent number: 11734498
    Abstract: Systems and methods of editing a user experience by a what you see is what you get (wysiwyg) editor are disclosed. A system obtains a visible portion of a document object model for a document, with the visible portion including one or more visible objects to be presented to a user during a user experience. Instead of the visible portion being generated by the wysiwyg editor (thus requiring the visible portion to be rendered again at a later time by a rendering engine), the visible portion to be used is generated by the rendering engine based on a schema of the document. To allow such, the system generates and outputs an overlay to be placed on the visible portion during display of the visible portion, with the overlay to receive user inputs to the visible portion and thus prevent user interaction with the visible portion.

  • Patent number: 11727082
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus provide the ability to generate and deliver personalized digital content. Multiple content tests are performed by presenting different variants of content to a set of different consumers of one or more consumers. A machine learning (ML model is generated and trained based on an analysis of results of the multiple content tests. Based on the ML model, personalization rules, that specify a certain variance for a defined set of facts, are output. The personalization rules are exposed to an administrative user who selects one or more of the personalization rules. A request for content is received from a requesting consumer. Based on similarities between the defined set of facts and the requesting consumer, a subset of the selected personalization rules are selected. The content is personalized and delivered to the requesting consumer based on the further selected personalization rules.

  • Patent number: 11709991
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for detecting truncation and overlap defects. Location and size information for the elements of the webpage are obtained. An intersection over union (IoU) calculation is performed for two webpage elements using the obtained location and size information for at least one of these webpage elements. Furthermore, the location relationship between these two webpage elements is determined. A table, which defines truncation defect and overlap defect scenarios, is then reviewed to determine if there are any truncation or overlap defects in these two webpage elements using the IoU calculation, the location relationship and the text condition, which indicates whether text is included in one of the two webpage elements. If any truncation or overlap defects are found in the webpage, then such truncation and/or overlap defects are marked on a screen capture of the webpage.
