  • Embeddings-based recommendations of latent communication platform features
    Patent number: 11711404
    Abstract: A communication platform may comprise different systems for helping a user discover features of the platform. However, the systems may generate different results. An application programming interface (API) may receive such outputs and may be configured to select between the outputs based on detecting a state at a user's computing device and/or using a machine-learned model to weight the outputs and/or probabilities associated therewith using a target metric. The API may then rank the outputs and select from among them based at least in part on the target metric.
    Type: Grant

  • Embeddings-based discovery and exposure of communication platform features
    Patent number: 11637714
    Abstract: Discovery of communication platform features or exposure of such features to the user may include generating embeddings for a variety of types of communication platform content and communications. These embeddings may be used to characterize and compare various communication platform features and ultimately expose these features to a user when the user may not have otherwise encountered them. The embeddings may additionally or alternatively be used to determine a degree of alignment.
