Abstract: To deliver up-to-date, coherent user data to applications upon request, the disclosed technology includes systems and methods for caching data and metadata after it has been synchronously loaded—for future retrieval with a page load time close to zero milliseconds. To provide this experience, data needs to be stored as locally to a user as possible, in the cache on the local device or in an edge cache located geographically nearby, for use in responding to requests. Applications which maintain caches of API results can be notified of their invalidation, and can detect the invalidation, propagate the invalidation to any further client tiers with the appropriate derivative type mapping, and refresh their cached values so that clients need not synchronously make the API requests again—ensuring that the client has access to the most up-to-date copy of data as inexpensively as possible—in terms of bandwidth and latency.

Abstract: An online system that allows users to interact with it using expressions in natural language form includes an intent inference module allowing it to infer an intent represented by a user expression. The intent inference module has a set of possible intents, along with a small set of example natural language expressions known to represent that intent. When a user interacts with the system using a natural language expression for which the intent is not already known, the intent inference module applies a natural language inference model to compute scores indicating whether the user expression textually entails the various example natural language expressions. Based on the scores, the intent inference module determines an intent that is most applicable for the expression. If an intent cannot be determined with sufficient confidence, the intent inference module may further attempt to determine whether the various example natural language expressions textually entail the user expression.
