Patent number: 11238352Abstract: Techniques are provided for predicting talent flow to and/or from a geographical region. In one technique, multiple entity profiles are stored and analyzed to generate training data that is labeled indicating whether a corresponding entity has moved to or moved from a region. A machine-learned prediction model is generated or trained based on the training data. Using the machine-learned prediction model, a prediction is made whether, for each entity corresponding to another entity profile, that entity will move to or move from a particular geographic region. Based on multiple predictions, a number of entities that are predicted to move to or move from the particular geographic region is determined. Talent flow data that is based on the number of entities is presented on a computer display.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Chi-Yi Kuan, Shen Huang, Yu Wang, Yongzheng Zhang, Paul Ko, Shady Elasra, Fanbin Bu

Patent number: 11089048Abstract: A spammer profile detector uses multi-stage machine learning approach, where a content-based machine learning model, a connection graph machine learning model, and a behavior-based machine learning model are used sequentially, each model generating a score indicating the likelihood that a profile is a spammer profile. The content-based machine learning model examines and evaluates information stored in a member profile. The connection graph machine learning model examines and evaluates a member's connections. The behavior-based machine learning model examines and evaluates activities of a member represented by a member profile. The score produced by the spammer profile detector can be used to determine whether the profile should be flagged as a spammer profile, whether the profile should be omitted when determining a count of the total number of active member profiles within the system, whether the profile should be restricted or removed from the system, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yongzheng Zhang, Kaiyu Yang, Li Yang, Bing Wang

Patent number: 10990643Abstract: Techniques for automatically linking pages in a web site are provided. In one technique, training data for a machine-learned scoring model is generated that comprises a plurality of features related to content items. The training data comprises multiple entries, each corresponding to a different content item in a first set of content items. For each entry, a corresponding label is based on a ranking of the corresponding content item in one or more search engine results. The machine-learned scoring model is trained based on the training data. For each content item in a second set of content items, multiple attribute values associated with that content item are input into the machine-learned scoring model, which generates a result. Based on multiple results, determining, for a particular web page, a strict subset of the second set of content items to which the particular web page will include one or more links.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Qingbo Hu, Huan Hoang, Yongzheng Zhang, Chia Lung Kao

Publication number: 20210097425Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system determines output of a machine learning model, which includes a score generated by the model based on features inputted into the model and feature importance metrics representing effects of the features on the score. Next, the system maps the features to elements in a feature hierarchy that groups the features under a first level of parent features. The system also generates a ranking of the first level of parent features based on the feature importance metrics. The system then combines, based on the ranking, feature values of the mapped features with a set of insight templates to produce a list of narrative insights, wherein each narrative insight includes a natural language description of a factor that contributes to the model's output. Finally, the system outputs the list of narrative insights in a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2019Publication date: April 1, 2021Inventors: Jilei Yang, Yongzheng Zhang, Shen Huang, Burcu Baran, Chi-Yi Kuan
