Abstract: Methods, systems, computer readable media, and apparatuses for enabling chat sessions are presented. In response to detecting that a first user is viewing a first program, a chat invitation may be automatically transmitted to a second user. The chat invitation may identify the first user and the first program, and further may invite the second user to initiate a chat session with the first user. An updated chat invitation may be automatically transmitted in response to detecting that the first user has changed to viewing a second program, and a chat session that has been initiated may subsequently be transferred to another device. Content prioritization settings may be accounted for in transmitting one or more chat invitations, and before a chat invitation is transmitted, it may be determined that a sufficient amount of time has elapsed to suggest that the user will continue viewing the first program.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a graphical user interface with a dynamically sized group pill includes receiving a first indication of an opening of a context related to a first type of action in a graphical user interface. The group pill is expanded to an expanded size based at least in part on receiving the first indication. When a second indication of a closing of the context is received, the group pill is collapsed to a collapsed size displaying less information than the expanded size.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for customizing training contents for a user, including: establishing a user profile and a personal learning corpus for the user; generating a first baseline indicating that the user is interested and a second baseline indicating that the user is not interested; monitoring the user's reactions when the user is consuming contents related to a second topic, wherein the reactions include the one or more of biometrical indicators, facial expressions, and body language; comparing the reactions with the first baseline and the second baseline to determine an interest level; and recommending additional contents related to the second topic if the interest level is higher than a predefined threshold.

Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory storing a multiple channel message thread module with instructions executed by the processor to identify when participants at client devices are actively viewing a common message thread at the same time to establish a participant viewing state. An alternate channel communication lock prompt is supplied the client devices in response to the participant viewing state. An alternate channel communication is delivered to the client devices in response to activation of the alternate channel communication lock prompt by at least one participant.

Abstract: An approach to generating a learning path framework may be provided. A Cognitive Bot may monitor the knowledge stream of a subject matter expert (SME) to glean insights from the activities and events performed by the SME. The CogBot determine categories within the subject matter. The CogBot may tune a grade scoring engine using the insights gleaned from the knowledge stream as a threshold for the grade scoring module. The knowledge stream of a second user may be monitored by a CogBot. A grade score of the subject matter for the second user may be generated by the grade scoring engine. An expertise level associated with the categories may be determined. A learning path framework may be generated based on the generated grade score and expertise level.

Abstract: A method of manipulation of content provided by a hosting server using swipe gesture recognition on a user device having a touch input display. The method includes storing the content, combined with a swipe gesture recognition module to form a content package, on the hosting server. The swipe gesture recognition module is associated with at least one displayable content element of the content. The method further includes receiving, at the hosting server, a request for the content package from the user device and transmitting the content package from the hosting server to the user device for display by an application running on the user device. A defined action is applied to the at least one displayable content element if it is determined that a swipe gesture has occurred on the at least one displayable content element.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for finding vertically and horizontally aligned cells in a complex table structure. A file or document, such as an HTML file that defines a complex table includes spanning rows and columns is expanded into a two dimensional (2D) array or table with orthogonal rows and columns, where the spanning rows and columns included cells with copied values or object references. The expanded 2D array or table can be deduplicated row or column wise to determine header alignment of the table.

Abstract: A display, such as a computer monitor, presents a user interface having static and dynamic icons that define inputs made at a joystick input device. For example, a first static icon associates with a first input button to always command a menu presentation, and a second static icon associates with a second input button to always command an exit from the user interface. Plural dynamic icons associate with third and fourth input buttons that scroll the dynamic icons to populate a central input button of the joystick input device. A press at the central input button selects a function associated with the dynamic icon presented at the central input button.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present technology generally provide computer implemented assistance for data summary, including organizing and generating a summary of data selected from legal source documents. User-identified information may be selected from one or more legal source documents at a user device, in response to which a unique identifier selection box may be displayed at the user device. A unique identifier may be selected from the unique identifier selection box. A first data set and/or a request for generation of a summary set may be sent to a system server via a communication link, the first data set may include the unique identifier and the user-identified information. The user device may then receive a generated summary via the communication link and may display the summary.

Abstract: A passage of selectable words and/or selectable blank spaces may be displayed on a client device of an evaluator. As a test subject reads the passage, preferably from another source, the evaluator may select a selectable word or blank space. A plurality of selectable bubbles may appear near and/or around the selected word, where each selectable bubble corresponds to a type of mistake that the test subject might make in reading the passage. The evaluator may select one of the selectable bubbles depending on the type of mistake the test subject made. After selecting a bubble, the plurality of selectable bubbles are removed from the display and a tag icon, indicating which type of mistake the evaluator selected, is displayed near the selected word. In this manner, an annotated passage may be created that graphically illustrates where and what type of mistakes the test subject made in reading the passage.

Abstract: Examples discussed herein relate to automatically creating lambda functions in spreadsheet applications, e.g., Microsoft Excel®. In an implementation, a method of automatically creating lambda functions in spreadsheet applications using a lambda shorthand notation is disclosed. The method includes analyzing contents of a cell of a spreadsheet to identify a formulaic expression and determining that the formulaic expression can define a body of a lambda function without using explicit lambda function notation or parameter declarations. The method further includes automatically creating and invoking the lambda function responsive to the determination. As discussed herein, creating the lambda function includes registering the lambda function in a lambda registry using the formulaic expression as the body of the lambda function that evaluates into an output value.
