Patent number: 11960547Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, system and computer program product for single view presentation of multiple query. In an embodiment of the disclosure, a method for single view presentation of multiple query includes directing a query against a database along a selected dimension of multiple different elements. In response, a primary result set is received. The result set is then organized into a tabular view of cells according to the selected dimension and values for the selected dimension. Thereafter, a set of nested queries may be directed for each of the elements in the selected dimension against the result set utilizing a different dimension. In response to each directed set of nested queries, a corresponding result set is thus received. Finally, each corresponding result set is inserted into a cell associated with a common one of the elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Lloyd Tabb, Steven Talbot, Michael Toy, Wil Gieseler, Colin Zima, Julian Hyde

Patent number: 11960867Abstract: Using a natural language (NL) latent presentation in the automated conversion of source code from a base programming language (e.g., C++) to a target programming language (e.g., Python). A base-to-NL model can be used to generate an NL latent representation by processing a base source code snippet in the base programming language. Further, an NL-to-target model can be used to generate a target source code snippet in the target programming language (that is functionally equivalent to the base source code snippet), by processing the NL latent representation. In some implementations, output(s) from the NL-to-target model indicate canonical representation(s) of variables, and in generating the target source code snippet, technique(s) are used to match those canonical representation(s) to variable(s) of the base source code snippet. In some implementations, multiple candidate target source code snippets are generated, and a subset (e.g., one) is selected based on evaluation(s).Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Rishabh Singh, Hanjun Dai, Manzil Zaheer, Artem Goncharuk, Karen Davis, David Andre

Patent number: 11960837Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to providing selectable autofill suggestions, which correspond to application actions that are at least partially fulfilled using server command data—prior to a user selecting a particular selectable autofill suggestion. Proactively fulfilling command data in this way mitigates latency between user selection of a suggestion and fulfillment of a particular action. Initially, a partial input can be processed to generate autofill suggestions, which can be communicated to a server device for further processing. The autofill suggestions can also be rendered for selection at a touch display interface, thereby allowing a user to select one of the autofill suggestions. As command fulfillment data is provided by the server, the command fulfillment data can be available to a corresponding application(s) in order that any corresponding actions can be at least partially fulfilled prior to user selection.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventor: Keun Soo Yim

Patent number: 11960848Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that include and/or leverage one or more machine-learned language models that generate intermediate textual analysis (e.g., including usage of structural tools such as APIs) in service of contextual text generation. For example, a computing system can obtain a contextual text string that includes one or more contextual text tokens. The computing system can process the contextual text string with the machine-learned language model to generate one or more intermediate text strings that include one or more intermediate text tokens. The computing system can process the one or more intermediate text strings with the machine-learned language model to generate an output text string comprising one or more output text tokens. The one or more intermediate text strings can include textual analysis of the contextual text string that supports the output text string.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Noam Shazeer, Daniel De Freitas Adiwardana
