  • Patent number: 11397851
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for classifying text to determine a goal type used to select machine learning algorithm outcomes. Natural language processing of text is performed to determine features in the text and their relationships. A classifier classifies the text based on the relationships and features to determine a goal type. The determined features and relationships from the text are inputted into a plurality of different machine learning algorithms to generate outcomes. For each of the machine learning algorithms, a determination is made of performance measurements resulting from the machine learning algorithms generating the outcomes. A determination is made of at least one machine learning algorithm having performance measurements that are highly correlated to the determined goal type. An outcome is determined from at least one of the outcomes.

  • Patent number: 11361025
    Abstract: Users of a database management engine may generate fillable digital documents by mapping interface elements onto form documents. When a user maps interface elements onto a form document, the user may accidentally overlap two or more interface elements. To rectify this, the database management engine may modify the position of one of interface elements based on a set of positioning rules. In addition, the database management engine may identify and suggest mappings to users based on similar documents that have been previously mapped. The database management engine identifies similar documents using information about the document, the user, and the mapping itself. The mapping associated with the most similar document may be provided to the user as a suggested mapping. The database management engine converts the form document and finalized mapping into a fillable digital document. The fillable digital document is sent to recipients, who complete the fillable digital document.

  • Patent number: 11308232
    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods and other techniques for assessing data leakage risks in a computing environment. A computing system receives interaction data and query data for a party. The system determines dimension combinations represented in the interaction data and identifies, for each query described in the query data, each dimension combination that appears in a result to the query. The system generates, for each dimension combination, a query membership tag that identifies each query for which the dimension combination appears in a result to the query. The system determines, for each unique query membership tag, a count of a number of entities that are associated in the interaction data with any interaction having a dimension combination that corresponds to the query membership tag. The system assesses a data leakage risk for the party based on the counts for one or more unique query membership tags.

  • Patent number: 11301539
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems for performing just-in-time front end template generation using a logical DOM. A computing device may receive, from a web server host platform, an HTML page with a DOM structure. The computing device may parse the DOM structure to generate a logical DOM, which may include a key value store identifying dynamic elements to be updated based on data received from a data source different from the web server host platform. The computing device may receive, from a data source computer system, source data. The computing device may modify the logical DOM, based on the source data, by replacing the dynamic elements with corresponding values from the source data. This may produce a first updated real DOM. The computing device may render a first graphical user interface based on the first updated real DOM, and may display the first graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 11221898
    Abstract: Systems and methods are validating data in a data set. A data set including data to validate and a validator to use in validating the data is selected based on user input generated based on interactions of a user with a graphical user interface. The validator is applied to the data to determine whether one or more statistics generated through application of the validator to the data is valid or invalid based on a validation routine associated with the validator. A data quality report indicating whether the data set is valid or invalid, based on a determination of whether the one or more statistics is valid or invalid, is generated and selectively presented to the user through the graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 11182541
    Abstract: A collaborative document creation platform stores documents. Each document is associated with two or more distinct teams, and each team has multiple users. The platform enables users of teams associated with each document to modify the document. The platform includes a local comment affordance, which enables a user of a first team associated with a document to insert local comments, distinct from text of the document. The local comments are restricted for review only by users of the first team. The platform includes a global comment affordance, which enables all users associated with the document to insert global comments. The global comments are designated for review by one or more users associated with the document. The platform displays global comments to all of the designated users associated with the document, and displays each local comment only for the team corresponding to the author of the local comment.

  • Patent number: 11113448
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to presenting and synchronizing views of electronic document. In particular, a view management system can synchronize and present multiple synchronized views of an electronic document for display on a client device. For example, the view management system can present multiple views of an electronic document and bind one or more of the views with a model. In response to detecting a user interaction with respect to a view, the view management system can cause a client device to apply the user interaction to each of multiple views (e.g., each view that is bound to the model). By synchronizing views, the view management system can enable a user to conveniently observe how one or more user interactions with respect to a view would appear across multiple views of an electronic document.
