  • Patent number: 12198020
    Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods for training a machine learnable model and for using the machine learned model for inference, both of which using only limited memory resources. During training and inference, the machine learnable model uses previous state information. A state memory is provided which efficiently stores this previous state information. Instead of storing each previous state individually and integrally, for each element of the internal state, a value is stored in the state memory which is indicative of a most recent occurrence of an element of the internal state of the machine learnable model holding or transitioning to a particular binary state value. The states of the machine learnable model are representable as binary values and when states infrequently hold or transition to a particular binary state value.

  • Patent number: 12164591
    Abstract: A network data object processing system, associated methods, and computer program products are provided. A network data object management module manages purchases represented by the network data object. A hierarchical database management module manages relevancies and relationships amongst registered users, self-selected personas, child-related personas, and co-participant personas. An interdependence identification engine identifies further relationships amongst active data objects and registered users that make associated purchases, and may further correct relationships that may be incorrectly configured by client devices. A multi-carousel interface improves the network data object processing system by increasing relevancy of impressions and improving transparency to users.

  • Patent number: 12113839
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a missing meeting content manifest associated with missing meeting content for a meeting (e.g., a meeting session) in a meeting management system. A missing meeting content manifest—a record of data of meeting content—can be a file that identifies segments of data that are associated with the missing meeting content. In operation, the meeting management system detects that an attendee is disconnected from the meeting and later determines that the attendee has reconnected to the meeting. The meeting management system calculates a number of segments of the meeting content associated with a period of time the attendee was so disconnected and generates a missing meeting content manifest corresponding to the number of segments of the meeting content associated with the period of time the attendee was disconnected. The meeting management system communicates the missing meeting content manifest to the attendee device.

  • Patent number: 12067349
    Abstract: A system and method are presented for interoperability of computer software applications. Subdocuments are located within slots of a main document along with a fully-qualified file identifier. Subdocuments can be saved in the main document in an intermediate format. Editing a slot triggers the opening of the original document in its native application. An intermediate format file is then created and reimported into its original slot. A document containing subdocuments can be exported in its entirety from one program to another. An auxiliary program identifies a target template format and converts the original document to the target template in its native application using the original subdocuments. Page image exports are used to transfer all content in the original application document to a destination document in a different format.
