  • Patent number: 11334714
    Abstract: Techniques for generating diverse smart replies using a synonym hierarchy are disclosed herein. A computer system may detect that a first set of one or more messages having first content has been transmitted from a first computing device of a first user to a second computing device of a second user, determine a plurality of candidate replies based on the first content of the first set of one or more messages, and then select a plurality of smart replies from the plurality of candidate replies using a hierarchical graph data structure and at least one diversity rule. The selecting of the plurality of smart replies comprises omitting at least one of the plurality of candidate replies from selection based on the at least one diversity rule, which limits a number of the plurality of smart replies that have a common parent node.

  • Patent number: 11308450
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for generating personalized smart responses. A messaging system receives a message transmitted as part of a communication session between a first user and a second user and determines a set of candidate responses for replying to the message. The messaging system filters the set of candidate responses based on a personalized vocabulary for the first user, yielding a set of personalized candidate responses. The personalized vocabulary for the first user is determined based on member profile data associated with the first user. The messaging system determines, based on a set of personalized candidate selection rules, a subset of the candidate responses, yielding a set of recommended responses to the message, and causes the set of recommended responses to be presented on the second client device.
