Publication number: 20220156643Abstract: Evaluations of a document are generated that indicate likelihoods of the document achieving its objectives. The evaluations are based on predictive characteristics of one or more outcomes of the client document that are indicative of whether the document will achieve its objectives. Specifically, a server receives the document from a client device. The server extracts a set of features from the document. The evaluations of the document are generated based on the predictive characteristics for the one or more outcomes of the document. The generated evaluations are provided to the client device such that the document can be optimized to achieve its desired objectives. The optimized document may also be sent to a posting server for posting to a computer network. The known outcomes of the optimized document are collected through reader responses to the document and analyzed to improve evaluations for other documents.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Kieran Snyder, Robert E. Kolba, JR., Jensen Harris

Patent number: 10606564Abstract: Architecture that generates a companion window in combination with a source application experience to enable the accomplishment of a side task yet not switch away from the context of the source application. The companion window experience is a window that is rendered proximate (e.g., beside) a user's source application experience, in a predictable location, and with a predictable user model for invocation and dismissal. The companion window allows the user to retain full visual context of the associated source application experience, while rendering activities that directly pertain to the source application experience or activities that allow the user to interact with two applications.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jonathan Gordner, Stephan Hoefnagels, Josh Clow, Colin Jeanne, Alexander Allen, Kenneth Parker, Nandini Bhattacharya, Jonathan Li, Kieran Snyder

Patent number: 9384292Abstract: Map service techniques are described. In an implementation, text is received from an application for processing by one or more linguistic services. Based on service properties of respective linguistic services that are relevant to the application, particular linguistic services are designated to be available for use by the application and one or more other linguistic services are obscured from the application. A communication is formed to communication the text to a designated linguistic service.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dimiter Georgiev, Shenghua Ye, Gerardo Villarreal Guzman, Kieran Snyder, Ryan M.

Publication number: 20140358910Abstract: A storage management system receives at a computing system one or more search results from a search operation based on a search query. The search operation had performed a first search on content in a database accessible through an application, a second search on local to the computing system content, and a third search on Web content. At least one of the search results from the first search is associated with an application identifier identifying the application. The storage management system further ranks the search results from the first search, the second search, and the third search in aggregation. A search results integrator presents the ranked search results from the first, second, and third searches in an integrated view. The search results integrator further groups a subset of the ranked search results from the first search, the second search, and the third search into a subgroup within the integrated view.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2013Publication date: December 4, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kathleen M. Frigon, David Perry, Jonathan Gordner, Mirko Mandic, Kieran Snyder, Max Glenn Morris, Robert Emmett Kolba, JR., Gaurav Anand, David Jeremy Guy Wood, Sunny Kumar Verma, Holger Kuehnle

Patent number: 8768047Abstract: Script detection service techniques are described. In an implementation, a corpora of text is analyzed to determine which strings in the corpora of text are to be included in a targeted dictionary that is usable for language detection services. The targeted dictionary is populated with strings that are individually associated with a human language. The strings include individual text characters associated with values that correspond to a particular subset of values in a table that associates subsets of values with individual human writing systems.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2013Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dimiter Georgiev, Shenghua Ye, Gerardo Villarreal Guzman, Kieran Snyder, Ryan M.

Patent number: 8503715Abstract: Script detection service techniques are described. In an implementation, values representing individual text characters in a string of one or more text characters are identified to determine which human writing system is associated with the individual text characters. The values are compared to a table that associates subsets of values with individual human writing systems. The values are determined to be within a particular subset of values in the table that correspond to a particular human writing system. A particular human writing system is designated as associated with the string based on the values associated with the individual text characters in the string being within the particular subset of values that corresponds with the particular human writing system.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2011Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dimiter Georgiev, Shenghua Ye, Gerardo Villarreal Guzman, Kieran Snyder, Ryan M.

Patent number: 8180626Abstract: Language detection techniques are described. In implementation, a method comprises determining which human writing system is associated with text characters in a string based on values representing the text characters. When the values are associated with more than one human language, the string is compared with a targeted dictionary to identify a corresponding human language associated with the string. Linguistic services are designated to be available based on service properties of the linguistic services and based on the corresponding human language associated with the string.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2011Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dimiter Georgiev, Shenghua Ye, Gerardo Villarreal Guzman, Kieran Snyder, Ryan M.

Patent number: 8019596Abstract: Linguistic service platform techniques are described. In implementations, one or more computer-readable media comprise instructions that are executable by a computer to designate a linguistic service having a particular property responsive to an application program interface call specifying the property. Communication may be brokered between the linguistic service and the application so that communication occurs without the application directly communicating with the linguistic service.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dimiter Georgiev, Shenghua Ye, Gerardo Vilarreal Guzman, Kieran Snyder, Ryan M.
