Abstract: A question-and-answer application with an “ask-to-answer” feature is described. The ask-to-answer feature enables any user to solicit an answer to a question from another user. Upon soliciting another user for an answer to a particular question, a message with a call to action is directed to the solicited user. The message may include a copy of the text of the question and may provide a mechanism (e.g., a selectable user interface element) enabling the solicited user to pass on answering the question. Subsequent to the solicitation, the question page for the question will include a notification with information about the solicitation, including in some instances information identifying the user who has been asked to answer the question and the number of times the user has been asked to provide an answer to the question.

Abstract: A computer device having a user interface, a processor, and computer storage. The user interface provides a gameboard comprising tiles supporting game objects, the tiles comprising predefined sets of tiles which are available to support spreading blocking elements. The processor receives a detected user input. If it detects a match condition, the processor removes the game elements of the match condition and generates and displays new game objects to replenish the gameboard. A data structure having tile data is stored in the computer storage. Tile data for tiles of the predefined set(s) comprises a set indicator which indicates whether a tile is in one of the predefined sets. If a blocker spreading mode has been triggered, the processor selects an origin tile which supports a spreading blocking element, identifies a target tile to which the spreading blocking element may spread and generates a blocking element for the target tile.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an approach for training a machine learning model by first training the model on a generic dataset and then iteratively training the model on “easy” domain specific training data before moving on to “difficult” domain specific training data. Inputs of a domain-specific dataset are run on the generically-trained model to determine which inputs generate an accuracy score above a threshold. The inputs with an accuracy score above a threshold are used to retrain the model, along with the corresponding outputs. The retraining continues until all domain specific dataset has been used to train the model, or until no remaining inputs of the domain specific dataset generate an accuracy score, when run on the model, that is above a threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide automated techniques for evaluation of a user interface of a computer application. A computer function associated with a graphical element such as an icon or button is analyzed. The resultant text that appears as a result of invoking the button is analyzed and keywords are identified to determine a function type for the function. A graphical element category is determined for the button/icon that is invoked to produce the function. The graphical element category can be determined by analyzing underlying markup code for the button. Keywords pertaining to the button may be extracted from the markup code. The keywords from the button are compared with the keywords of the resulting function and a score is generated based on the amount of common keywords. The score is used as a criterion for a recommendation about the appropriateness of the button for use with the application function.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for optimizing a presentation of content on a display of a user device for an identified user. Application behavior metrics and user behavior metrics are tracked over time for the particular user based on the applications executing on the user device and the user's interactions with the content presented by each application. Sections of content are assigned a priority based on the collected metrics which identify content sections (i.e., focus areas) most likely relevant to the user. Based on the assigned priorities, content from one or more applications is presented to the user in an optimal manner (e.g., not overlaid or obscured).
