Abstract: Example implementations are directed to a method of controlling contributions to a communication stream. An example implementation includes detecting a request from a user to add a data item to a communication stream of a channel, analyzing the data item in view of the communication stream to determine a relevancy score for the data item; and providing a control interface for the request based on the relevancy score of the data item. For example, the control interface can include an audience report, a notification, a previous post link, an alternative channel recommendation, a private message invitation, or a proceed to post command.

Abstract: Example implementations are directed to systems and methods for a context aware conversational agent for self-learning. In an example implementation, a method includes generating a journaling model based on activity data and engagement data associated with one or more tasks of a user. The journaling model uses machine-learning to identify a context pattern using the activity data, and maps performance associated with the one or more tasks based at least on the engagement data. The method adaptively provides a prompt to gather additional engagement data based on the context pattern in view of real-time activity data, where the prompt is generated based on the journaling model. The journaling model is updated based on the additional engagement data.

Abstract: System that automatically embeds interactive document snippets inside chat conversation stream. Specifically, described are techniques to automatically crop meaningful areas on document pages based on users' actions and underlying content to embed them inside chat window. Embedded snippets are easy to view because smart cropping provides viewers enough context. Snippets are playable inside the chat window so users can view the snippet without having to open the corresponding document. Importantly, viewers can reply inline to a document snippet, also without having to open the original document page. Like traditional text messages, snippets are appended to the conversation chat window, allowing co-workers to see what was added. When users choose to focus on document itself (as opposed to working inside the chat window only), the system automatically shows all relevant document snippets as well as chat messages, helping the person quickly see what conversations happened around this part of the document.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to systems and methods for providing documents in the chat of a chat application. Example implementations can involve detecting, in a chat of a chat application, an indication to edit a document; inserting a fragment of the document into the chat of the chat application, the fragment configured to be editable within the chat of the chat application; and modifying the document based on input provided to the fragment of the document in the chat of the chat application.

Abstract: Example implementations are directed to a method of receiving information associated with an activity, analyze the information to identify a first pattern and a second pattern, generate a customized transition model for returning to the first pattern. In response to a detected trigger indicating a transition to the first pattern, the method assesses context factors to apply the customized transition to dynamically manage access to digital resources during the transition to the first pattern. In response to a determination that a transition to the first pattern satisfies a threshold, the method restores access to the digital resources.

Abstract: For tourists, interactions with digital public displays often depend on specific technologies that users may not be familiar with (Quick Response codes, near field communication, and so on) may not have access to because of networking issues, may lack a required application or device technology, may not want to use because of time constraints, or may not want to use because they are worried about sharing their data with a third-party service. Example implementations described herein are directed to a system that allows users to seamlessly share content with a public travel kiosk system.

Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to a system for inserting document links or document fragments in messaging applications. For input provided to a messaging application, example implementations can parse the input to determine document parameters, determine previously linked documents in messages of the messaging application corresponding to the document parameters; and embed at least one of a selected document fragment or document link from the determined previously linked documents.

Abstract: Example implementations are directed to methods and systems for curating messages from viewers to identify a question associated with a recorded video that include video data, where the question is extracted from a queue of the video data; analyze the video data to determine one or more answer segments for the question that satisfy a confidence score based on a location of the question in the recorded video; and generate an answer summary for the question with links to each of the one or more segments, where the links are ranked based on the confidence score.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to enabling a lightweight way of recording and sharing video messages intended to provide input to a future meeting that cannot be personally attended. A person who cannot attend the meeting pre-records their thoughts and remarks for the meeting as video clips for presentation at the meeting. A physical device with at least a display is presented at the meeting. The physically present participants can play the pre-recorded clips on the device. Video of participants' responses to the clips is recorded and made available so that the represented attendee can view the participants' responses.

Abstract: Example implementations provide the representation a remote user in a video-mediated meeting when the user webcam feed is not available or not used, such as if they are attending to a meeting via a wearable device without a camera, or are on-the-go and prefer not to display their webcam feed for privacy or bandwidth-related reasons. In such cases, the system will infer when the user is active in the meeting and allow users to select to display an animated set of keyframes (from past meetings or representing computer-based activity) as a proxy for the user representation. Example implementations may facilitate a richer representation of a meeting participant (as opposed to a static picture or no information) and may lead to enhanced social dynamics within the meeting.
