  • Patent number: 11494387
    Abstract: A system and method for extrapolating a set of specific representational identifiers that are represented or covered by a generic representational identifier found in a target document. Queries are constructed and performed on a corpus of source documents in which members of the extrapolated set of specific representational identifiers are compared to a database of representational data. By matching representational data in this way, any overlap between the generic representational data and specific instances of the generic representational identifier within the source documents is determined. In a more specific implementation, the system and method reduces the scope of the generic representational identifier such that the reduced scope generic representational identifier encompasses only novel specific representational identifiers.

  • Patent number: 11487947
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for using machine learning techniques to analyze textual content. In one technique, a potential item is identified within a document. An analysis of the potential item is performed at multiple levels of granularity that includes two or more of a sentence level, a segment level, or a document level. The analysis produces multiple outputs, one for each level of granularity in the multiple levels of granularity. The outputs are input into a machine-learned model to generate a score for the potential item. Based on the score, the potential item is presented on a computing device. In response to user selection of the potential item, an association between the potential item and the document is created. The association may be used later to identify a set of users to which the document (or data thereof) is to be presented.

  • Patent number: 11468175
    Abstract: A system can provide a web browser application that generates a request for a data object to a server. The system can include a syncer delegate that intercepts the request from the web browser application and determines whether the requested data object is available in a cache memory. If the data object is available in the cache memory, the requested data object is transferred from the memory to the web browser application and the request is forwarded to a server over a network. If the data object is not available in the cache memory, the request is forwarded to a server over a network. The server can transfer the data object over the network to the syncer delegate, which can provide the data object to the web browser application and update the cache with the newly-received data object.
