  • Patent number: 10977684
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating a predicted response to a digital survey question and identifying digital survey questions to remove from a digital survey. For example, the disclosed systems can reduce the number of digital survey questions distributed as part of a digital survey by identifying and removing similar digital survey questions. In addition, the disclosed systems can generate a predicted response to an unprovided digital survey question based on determining relationships between respondents. Further, based on respondent relationships, the disclosed systems can identify digital survey questions that a respondent is likely to answer and can provide the digital survey questions to a respondent device of the respondent.

  • Patent number: 10776801
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to administration of an electronic survey via third-party content. For example, an electronic survey system receives a request to provide an electronic survey within a survey placeholder of a third-party webpage provided to a client device associated with a respondent. The survey system determines characteristics of the webpage or the respondent. The survey system then selects an electronic survey by comparing the characteristics of available electronic surveys to the characteristics of the webpage or the respondent. Additionally, the survey system provides electronic questions from the selected electronic survey for display within the survey placeholder of the webpage. The survey system also administers the electronic survey within the survey placeholder without redirecting the respondent client device away from the third-party webpage.

  • Patent number: 10732861
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to facilitating efficient access to electronic content via an intermediate caching layer between a client device and remote storage system. In particular, systems and methods disclosed herein generate and maintain a regional cache on a data center that includes a subset of digital content items from a collection of digital content items stored on the remote storage system. For example, in response to receiving a data request, the systems and methods disclosed herein determine whether a digital content item corresponding to the data request exists on an intermediate caching layer including both a local data center and one or more remote data centers. The systems and methods facilitate obtaining copies of requested digital content items from the regional caches when available, resulting in faster responses to data requests while decreasing a number of times a client directly accesses the remote storage system.

  • Patent number: 10699080
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a response analysis system that employs a small-data training dataset to train a neural network that accurately performs domain-agnostic opinion mining. For example, in one or more embodiments, the response analysis system trains a response classification neural network using part of speech information (e.g., syntactic information) to learn and apply response classification labels for opinion text responses. In particular, the response analysis system employs part of speech information patterns without regard to word patterns to determine whether words in a text response correspond to an opinion, the target of the opinion, or neither. In addition, the trained response classification neural network has a significantly reduced learned parameter space, which decreases processing, memory requirements, and overall complexity.
