Publication number: 20240104405Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gonzalo A.

Publication number: 20220309106Abstract: In example, a natural language input is processed to generate a formal query that is executed to retrieve data from a data store. An indication as to which subparts of the natural language input were used to generate the formal query may be presented to a user. The user may debug the query, such that associations between natural language input subparts and formal query subparts may be changed, added, or removed by the user. Further, a set of steps may be generated that provide an indication to the user as to how the formal query is executed, for example using sample data from the data store. The user may manipulate the sample data, thereby causing the presented steps to be updated accordingly. Once the user has made adjustments and has finished debugging the query, the revised formal query may be executed to retrieve updated data from the data store.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2021Publication date: September 29, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gonzalo A.

Patent number: 9563326Abstract: Information may be presented to a user in a way that reflects an awareness of the user's current situation. The relationship between user's situation, and various people and things, may be analyzed to determine the user's proximity to those people and things. (Proximity may refer not only to geographic proximity, but also temporal proximity, relevance proximity, etc.) A user interface may show people and things at different levels of proximity to the user's current situation, with the level of proximity being represented visually. The user may reposition the center of focus to one of the people or things depicted. When the center is repositioned, the level of proximity of people and things may be shown relative to the new center of focus, filtered based on existing relationships of those people and things to the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2012Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Avi Bar-Zeev, Gonzalo A.
