  • Patent number: 11429346
    Abstract: Managing rendering of a graphical user interface is provided. A system receives data packets comprising an input audio signal. The system determines an application identifier and query. The system provides the query to the application to cause the application to generate a second query for transmission to a third-party server, and identify responses to the query. The system intercepts the responses, and generates a keyword based on the responses. The system selects a digital component using the keyword, executes a deduplication process, and determines to add the digital component to the responses. The system constructs a display output using a graphical user interface template that integrates the plurality of responses generated by the application with the digital component, and provides the display output to the computing device for rendering.

  • Patent number: 11429894
    Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for learning classification models which satisfy constraints such as, for example, constraints that can be expressed as a predicted positive rate or negative rate on a subset of the training dataset. In particular, through the use of quantile estimators, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can transform a constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained optimization problem that is solved more efficiently and generally than the constrained optimization problem. As one example, the unconstrained optimization problem can include optimizing an objective function where a decision threshold of the classification model is expressed as an estimator of a quantile function on the classification scores of the machine-learned classification model for a subset of the training dataset at a desired quantile.
