Patent number: 11928119Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards automatically learning user behavioral patterns when interacting with messages and based on the learned patterns, suggesting one or more predicted actions that a user might take in response to receiving subsequent message. One or more classifiers are trained and employed to predict one or more actions that a user might take in response to receiving the message. In one embodiment, the one or more predicted actions are provided suggested to the user as an action the user might take on the message. Messages may be rank ordered within a given suggested action based on a confidence level of the prediction.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: YAHOO ASSETS LLCInventors: Ingmar Weber, Yoelle Maarek, Yehuda Arie Koren

Patent number: 11876764Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods for efficiently monitoring and following up on delivered messages for which a user expects and/or requires a reply. The disclosed functionality provides a fully automated, personalized, easy and efficient way to identify and manage outgoing mail messages that require reply by marking outbound messages as RSVP messages, which are those messages determined to require a reply. Such functionality is based on the ability of the disclosed framework to distinguish between a “satisfactory response” (i.e., a response that includes the required information) and a response that is not.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: YAHOO ASSETS LLCInventors: Natalia Silberstein, Irena Grabovitch-zuyev, Iftah Gamzu, Noa Avigdor-Elgrabli, Yoelle Maarek, Liane Lewin-Eytan

Patent number: 11606326Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for email management that leverages information derived from automatically generated messages in order to identify types of messages and message content. The disclosed systems and methods apply the information learned from decoding previously received messages to other messages in a user's inbox to fully, or at least partially decode the information included within such messages. The disclosed systems and methods analyze messages received in a user's inbox to detect message specific information corresponding to types of content in the message and the location of such content in the messages. The message specific information is then applied to other newly received or identified messages to learn message specific information about those messages. Based on such learning, information can be extracted from such messages in order to increase a user's experience and increase monetization.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2020Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: YAHOO ASSETS LLCInventors: Doug Sharp, Varun Bhagwan, Yoelle Maarek

Patent number: 11281725Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods automatically generate and provide an interactive rich set of personalized query suggestions within a unified framework. The disclosed systems and methods are able to integrate attributes associated with message data and metadata by transforming such attributes into facets that are combined with term suggestions and presented to the user in a unified manner. The instant disclosure provides an interactive search suggestion mechanism that narrows the search as the user interacts with the dynamically generated and provided suggestions.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: YAHOO ASSETS LLCInventors: Liane Lewin-Eytan, David Carmel, Ariel Raviv, Alexander Libov, Yoelle Maarek, Peter Monaco

Patent number: 10897447Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods automatically perform an implicit message search without requiring or actually receiving a user search query. The disclosed search framework automatically identifies of a set of messages in a mailbox that are related to a specific message m, and this message set is presented to the user from within the mailbox. The message set is retrieved without a user formulating and entering a search query, or without having to switch the state of the mailbox. The retrieved messages are provided as a type of “thread” functionality that provides a “thread” for those messages having related subject matter to message m.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2017Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: VERIZON MEDIA INC.Inventors: Liane Lewin-Eytan, Irena Grabovitch-Zuyev, Noa Avigdor-Elgrabli, Yoelle Maarek

Patent number: 10652187Abstract: Relevant messages, or “hero results”, which are not ranked at the uppermost part of a time-based listing of search results are identified and such hero results can be displayed apart from the time-based listing of search results. A user can be provided with messages in a time-based presentation as well as messages in a relevance-based presentation. The user can be presented with the most relevant messages from a set of message generated from a search query, even where the most relevant messages are not the most recent ones.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: OATH INC.Inventors: Liane Lewin-Eytan, David Carmel, Yoelle Maarek, Ariel Raviv, Alexander Libov, Peter Monaco

Patent number: 10558822Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for anonymizing electronic documents. In accordance with one or more embodiments, structurally-similar electronic documents can be identified among a group of electronic documents (e.g., e-mail messages, documents containing HTML formatting, etc.). A hash function can be specifically tailored to identify the similarly structured documents. The structurally-similar electronic documents can be grouped into a same equivalence class. Masked anonymized document samples can be generated from the structurally-similar electronic documents utilizing the same equivalence class, thereby ensuring that the anonymized document samples when viewed as a part of an audit remain anonymous. An online process is provided to guarantee k-anonymity of the users over the entire lifetime of the auditing process. An auditor's productivity can be measured based on the amount of content revealed to the auditor within the samples he is assigned.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Oath Inc.Inventors: Liane Lewin-Eytan, Dotan Di Castro, Eyal Zohar, Yoelle Maarek, Ran Wolff, Doug Sharp

Patent number: 10535041Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mechanism, which may be in a community-driven system, to assist a user, or member of the community, to articulate a request, such as a question, that is likely to receive a response, e.g., an answer to a question posed, from the user community. A machine learning approach may be used to generate a model, which model may be trained using previously-posted requests, e.g., questions, and response, e.g., answers. The generated model may be used to make a prediction, e.g., to predict a potential number of answers for a given question, which prediction may also have an accompanying confidence score. A prediction generated by the model may be presented to the user as the user is providing the input, e.g., typing a question. Such prediction may be generated for a partial question, e.g., as the question is being typed, as well as a completed question.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2012Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: OATH INC.Inventors: Yoelle Maarek, Gideon Dror, Idan Szpektor, Dan Pelleg
