  • Publication number: 20240061999
    Abstract: A data processing system obtains source textual content associated with a first writing style and target textual content associated with a second writing style and provides the source textual content as an input to a first machine learning model which analyzes the source content to determine the first writing style of the first textual content. The system provides an indication of the first writing style and the target textual content as an input to a second machine learning model which analyzes the target textual content and rewrites the target textual content according to the first writing style to output updated target textual content rewritten according to the first writing style. Some implementations utilize a single model trained to receive the source textual content, the target textual content, to determine the writing style of the source textual content and rewrite the target textual content according to the first writing style.

  • Publication number: 20230385320
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to generating content that is contextually relevant in a writing style of a user. In example embodiments, a plurality of logical inputs regarding a topic is received in bullet point format. A content generator generates draft content using machine learning (ML) models. The generating comprises identifying a writing style of the user by applying the plurality of logical inputs to a first ML model, determining a context and direction for the draft content using a second ML model, and based on the plurality of logical inputs, the identified writing style, and the context and direction, generating at least one paragraph of draft content in the writing style of the user that follows an outline associated with the bullet point format and comprises a same context and direction as the plurality of logical inputs. The draft content is then presented at a client device.

  • Publication number: 20230315969
    Abstract: A system and method for converting a document is described. The system accesses a document comprising one or more section breaks. The system detects sections of the text document demarked by the one or more section breaks and generates a section title metadata and a section summary metadata for each section of the plurality of sections. The system inserts the section title metadata and the section summary metadata at the corresponding section breaks in the text document. The system modifies the text document into slides. Each slide being formed for each section based on the corresponding section title metadata and the section summary metadata. The system generates a presentation document based on the slides.

  • Publication number: 20230144977
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for providing form service assistance. Feature information corresponding to content in a target application may be extracted. It may be determined, based at least on the feature information, to recommend a form service for the content. A recommendation prompt of the form service may be presented. In response to receiving a confirmation to the recommendation prompt, the form service may be initiated with at least the feature information.

  • Patent number: 10839149
    Abstract: Automatic generation of document templates based on recognized composition element patterns in a group of clustered documents is provided. Composition elements used in documents are typically unique to a particular user or to a group of users. An automated template generation system detects composition element patterns in documents associated with a given user. Sequences of composition elements from one document are aligned with sequences of composition elements of one or more other documents. The aligned sequences are scored to generate a document distance matrix. The documents are clustered together based on the alignment scores and a document template is generated for each corresponding cluster of documents. In one or more aspects, selecting a document template and updating it results in a modified document template or, in certain cases, a new document template. The generated document templates are displayed in a user interface for selection by a user.

  • Publication number: 20190079946
    Abstract: In example embodiments, a server stores, in one or more data repositories, a plurality of files that are accessible to a first user of a client device. The server computes, for each file in the plurality of files, a score representing a likelihood that the first user will access the file. The server determines that, for one or more files from the plurality of files, the score exceeds a threshold. The server caches the one or more files in a local cache memory of the client device in response to determining that the score exceeds the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20180115603
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing recommended collaborators. In one aspect, collaboration data associated with at least one application may be received at a data modeling service. A collaboration graph for representing the collaboration data associated with the at least one application may be created. The collaboration graph may be queried to identify a plurality of recommended collaborators for collaborating within the at least one application. The plurality of recommended collaborators may be ranked in a ranking order based on a set of criteria.
