  • Patent number: 11972204
    Abstract: The disclosed technology creates a family of (predefined formula) spreadsheet functions which allows users to create programming loop equivalents in their regular spreadsheet cells employing familiar range functions (e.g., SUM, COUNT, MIN, MAX, etc.) with data filtering and output selection. The data can be sourced from multiple cells within the spreadsheet or a broad spectrum of numeric, date and text data not stored in a spreadsheet, including data not discretely defined. The technology disclosed can use as inputs either cell ranges or Non-Spreadsheet Cell (NSC) data formulas. The capability allows users to specify standardized or highly custom calculations capable of executing millions of loops through a (predefined formula) spreadsheet function.

  • Patent number: 11893349
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating phonetic spelling variations of a given word based on locale-specific pronunciations. A phoneme-letter density model may be configured to identify a phoneme sequence corresponding to an input word, and to identify all character sequences that may correspond to an input phoneme sequence and their respective probabilities. The phoneme-phoneme error model may be configured to identify locale-specific alternative phoneme sequences that may correspond to a given phoneme sequence, and their respective probabilities. Using these two models, a processing system may be configured to generate, for a given input word, a list of alternative character sequences that may correspond to the input word based on locale-specific pronunciations, and/or a probability distribution representing how likely each alternative character sequence is to correspond to the input word.

  • Patent number: 11886793
    Abstract: Embodiments of the technology described herein, are an intelligent system that aims to expedite a text design process by providing text design predictions interactively. The system works with a typical text design scenario comprising a background image and one or more text strings as input. In the design scenario, the text string is to be placed on top of the background. The textual design agent may include a location recommendation model that recommends a location on the background image to place the text. The textual design agent may also include a font recommendation model, a size recommendation model, and a color recommendation model. The output of these four models may be combined to generate draft designs that are evaluated as a whole (combination of color, font, and size) for the best designs. The top designs may be output to the user.
