  • Patent number: 12229490
    Abstract: A document architecture system includes an intelligent document processing engine that can receive raw data streamed from external data source(s), analyze the raw data to identify triggering events, apply rules to the triggering events identified, break down the raw data accordingly, and generating messages in an internal format to represent the pieces of data without any formatting or layout information. The messages can be augmented with custom metadata and stored as fragments that reference, but that do not physically incorporate, the messages. The stored fragments can be used by the document process engine to intelligently render documents and versions thereof. The messages and fragments are in internal formats under control of the document architecture system. The renditions are in final formats that can be delivered, for instance, via an output connector to various output delivery channels.

  • Patent number: 12223554
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer system generates a recommendation for a user of an online service based on user actions that have been performed by the user within a threshold amount of time before the generation of the recommendation. For each user action, the computer system determines an intent classification that identifies an activity of the user and that corresponds to different types of user actions, as well as a preference classification that identifies a target of the activity, and then stores these intent and preference classifications as part of indications of the user actions for use in generating different types of recommendations using different types of recommendation models. Additionally, the computer system may use mini-batches of data from an incoming stream of logged data to train an incremental update to one or more recommendation models.

  • Patent number: 12223399
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for machine learning. Upon receiving input data associated with a time series, hidden representations associated with the time series in a feature space are obtained and used to generate a query vector in a query space. Such generated query vector is then used to query relevant historic information related to the time series. The query vector and the relevant historic information are aggregated to generate at least one queried vector, which is aggregated with the hidden representations to generate enriched hidden representations that enhance the expressiveness of the hidden representations.

  • Patent number: 12223255
    Abstract: A reading assistant tool implemented in a browser application facilitates the presentation of text content in a manner and format that addresses the reading and/or comprehension capabilities of individual users, while maintaining the context of the original content. The reading assistant tool outputs a reader view pane alongside a main content pane. Original content is presented in the main content pane, and simplified/reformatted content corresponding to text content extracted from the original content, is presented in the reader view pane. Scrolling of the extracted text content in the reader view pane is synchronized with scrolling of the original content in the main content pane, so that context is maintained as the user moves through the content. The concurrent presentation of the original content and the extracted text content allows the user to more easily consume the extracted text content, while also maintaining context as originally intended.

  • Patent number: 12175363
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reading a flash memory device are disclosed. A Regression Neural Network (RNN) inference model is stored on a flash controller. The RNN inference model is configured for identifying at least one Threshold-Voltage-Shift Read-Error (TVS-RE) curve that identifies a number of errors as a function of Threshold Voltage Shift Offset (TVSO) values. The operation of a flash memory device is monitored to identify usage characteristic values. A neural network operation of the RNN inference model is performed to generate a TVS-RE curve corresponding to the usage characteristic values. The input for the neural network operation includes the usage characteristic values. A TVSO value is identified corresponding to a minimum value of the TVS-RE curve. A read of the flash memory device is performed using a threshold-voltage-shift read at the TVSO value.
