  • Patent number: 11876760
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to identifying one or more messages sent by a user, identifying two or more contacts that are associated with one or more of the messages, determining a strength of relationship score between identified contacts, and utilizing the strength of relationship scores to provide additional information related to the contacts. A strength of relationship score between a contact and one or more other contacts may be determined based on one or more properties of one or more of the messages. In some implementations, contacts groups may be determined based on the strength of relationship scores. In some implementations, contacts groups may be utilized to disambiguate references to contacts in messages. In some implementations, contacts group may be utilized to provide suggestions to the user of additional contacts of a contacts group that includes the indicated recipient contact of a message.

  • Publication number: 20230275856
    Abstract: A method of processing messages executes at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The memory stores one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors. A first message for a user is analyzed for a structured content element. When found, content from a data source distinct from the message is obtained by executing an associated action. A first message display state is formed for the message comprising a message notification and the content. A messaging application user interface, comprising an electronic message list with a plurality of objects, is updated. Responsive to selection of a first object of the plurality of objects, the first object representing the first message, the user is enabled to toggle the first message display state between first and second display states, the second display state differing from the first by providing direct access to the first message.

  • Patent number: 11546282
    Abstract: A system and method for postponing an electronic message displayed for a user of a computing device. Postponement options are displayed for the user. Display of the electronic message at the computing device is inhibited based on received user input. One option enables a user to repeat the most recently selected postponement option. Another option postpones the electronic message until the computing device is at a user-designated location. Some postponement options are generated according to context of the electronic message, such as the content of the electronic message, the date or time when the user requested the postponement, or prior history of user-selected postponements. Some options are based on a sampling of postponement options selected by a plurality of users.

  • Patent number: 11436443
    Abstract: A model testing system administers tests to machine learning (ML) models to test the accuracy and the robustness of the ML models. A user interface (UI) associated with the model testing system receives selections of one or more of a plurality of tests to be administered to a ML model under test. Test data produced by one or more of a plurality of testing ML models that correspond to the plurality of tests is provided to the ML model under test based on the selected tests. One or more of a generative patches test, a generative perturbations test and a counterfeit data test can be administered to the ML model under test based on the selections.

  • Patent number: 11269760
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media facilitating automated testing of datasets including natural language data are disclosed. In the disclosed embodiments, rule sets may be used to condition and transform an input dataset into a format that is suitable for use with one or more artificial intelligence processes configured to extract parameters and classification information from the input dataset. The parameters and classes derived by the artificial intelligence processes may then be used to automatically generate various testing tools (e.g., scripts, test conditions, etc.) that may be executed against a test dataset, such as program code or other types of data.

  • Patent number: 11070508
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to determining an effect on dissemination of information related to an event based on a dynamic confidence level associated with the event. For example, an event and an event confidence level of the event may be determined based on a message of a user. An effect on dissemination of information related to the event may be determined based on the confidence level. A new confidence level may be determined based on additional data associated with the event and the effect on dissemination of information may be adjusted based on the new confidence level. In some implementations, the additional data may be based on a new message that is related to the message, such as a reply to the message.

  • Patent number: 10645046
    Abstract: A method postpones an electronic message displayed for a user of a computing device. The user provides input to postpone the electronic message. Postponement options are displayed for the user. The user selects one of the options. Display of the message at the computing device is inhibited accordingly. One option enables a user to repeat the most recently selected postponement option. Another option postpones the message until the computing device is at a user-designated location. Another option inhibits display of the message at the computing device, but enables display of the message at another user-specified second computing device. Some postponement options are generated according to context of the electronic message, such as the content of the electronic message, the date or time when the user requested the postponement, or prior history of user-selected postponements. Some options are based on a sampling of postponement options selected by a plurality of users.
