  • Publication number: 20240119099
    Abstract: A document re-finding system generates embeddings for concept clips provided by a user, the concept clips defining a concept for searching for content of interest to the user in a plurality of documents previously seen by the user. The re-finding system determines semantic relationships between the concept and document clips, related to respective document among the plurality of documents, based on the concept embedding and embeddings generated for the document clips. A graphical user interface depicting the semantic relationships is rendered to the user and is operable to enable re-finding a document, among the plurality of documents, having the content of interest to the user.

  • Publication number: 20240104405
    Abstract: In examples, a schema augmentation system for exploratory research leverages intelligence from a machine learning model to augment such tasks by leveraging intelligence derived from machine learning capabilities. Augmenting tasks include schematization of content, such as information units and groupings of information units. Based on the schematization of such content, semantic proximities for information units are determined. The semantic proximities may be used to identify and present potentially relevant information units, for example to accelerate the exploratory research task at hand. As such, users engaged in consumption of heterogenous content (e.g., across client applications and/or content sources), may receive machine-augmented support to find potential information units.

  • Patent number: 11900061
    Abstract: A method and system for predicting an intended time interval for a content segment may include receiving a request for natural language processing (NLP) of the content segment, the content segment including one or more temporal expressions, accessing contextual data associated with each of the one or more temporal expressions, decoding the content segment into a program that describes a temporal logic of the content segment based on the one or more temporal expressions, evaluating the program using the contextual data to predict an intended time interval for the content segment, and providing the intended time interval as an output.
