Abstract: A collaboration server enables users that are members of a network to upload, access, and edit clauses. The server provides, for viewing to a user, a clause on a user interface. In addition, the server can provide a one-click feature on the user interface that, when selected by a user, copies the clause while maintaining the formatting of the clause. When an additional user edits the clause, an updated version of the clause can be provided for viewing on an updated user interface. Here, the server disables the one-click feature of the prior version of the clause and provides a new one-click feature for the updated version of the clause. Therefore, each user that has access to the clause can avoid mistakenly working with an outdated version of the clause.

Abstract: Machine-learning based multi-step engagement strategy modification is described. Rather than rely heavily on human involvement to manage content delivery over the course of a campaign, the described learning-based engagement system modifies a multi-step engagement strategy, originally created by an engagement-system user, by leveraging machine-learning models. In particular, these leveraged machine-learning models are trained using data describing user interactions with delivered content as those interactions occur over the course of the campaign. Initially, the learning-based engagement system obtains a multi-step engagement strategy created by an engagement-system user. As the multi-step engagement strategy is deployed, the learning-based engagement system randomly adjusts aspects of the sequence of deliveries for some users.

Abstract: Techniques are described for offloading the encoding and decoding of multimedia content transmitted during a real-time communication (RTC) session from the virtual desktop to the client device so that the multimedia content can be communicated directly between the client device and the remote peer device without the involvement of the virtual desktop. The offload eliminates the additional network hop of the multimedia content to the virtual desktop that is present in conventional virtual desktop environments, thereby reducing network latency and improving performance, CPU utilization and network load on the virtual machine hosting the virtual desktop. In order to offload the multimedia encoding/decoding, the techniques described herein intercept a number of Application Programming Interface (API) calls to override the messages used to establish a multimedia communication session between the RTC application and the remote peer device.
