  • Patent number: 11062228
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods of transfer learning techniques for disparate label sets. In aspects, a data set may be accessed on a server device. The data set may comprise labels and word sets associated with the labels. The server device may induce label embedding within the data set. The embedded labels may be represented by multi-dimensional vectors that correspond to particular labels. The vectors may be used to construct label mappings for the data set. The label mappings may be used to train a model to perform domain adaptation or transfer learning techniques. The model may be used to provide results to a statement/query or to train a different model.

  • Patent number: 11030271
    Abstract: Techniques for improving content load time are described. A method comprises: receiving, from a search service, a plurality of search results in response to a search query, wherein each of the plurality of search results includes a result link pointing to an object stored on a content source; receiving, from the search service, auxiliary information indicating that, for at least one of the plurality of search results, a copy of at least a portion of the object that the result link of the at least one search result points to is cached within a cache service associated with the search service; and retrieving, from the cache service, the cached copy of at least the portion of the object in response to a selection of the result link of the at least one search result.

  • Patent number: 10965633
    Abstract: Session history horizon control techniques are described in which participants in a communication session are able to selectively control how much history of the communication session is shown to individuals added into the session. A representation of a session record (e.g., a message thread) may be exposed for rendering by communication modules used by participants for the communication session. Responsive to addition of participants, the communication module(s) may be configured to expose a history control element in conjunction with the session record to enable control over portions of the session record exposed to people added into the session. The history control element for a particular participant is configured to visually identify portions within the session record that are accessible to the particular participant. The history control element may also be positioned in different locations in the session record to modify exposure of the messages to the particular participant.
