  • Patent number: 12670311
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A group-based communication system may support automatic layout updates for a document space. If a user adds an object into the document space, the system may generate a card representing the object. The card may include a link to a resource external to the document space and a preview image for the object, where the preview image may be rendered based on unfurling the link. The system may update a layout of the document space to include the generated card and may send, for display in a user interface (UI) of a user device, the updated layout. In some examples, a user may select to reposition the card within the UI (e.g., by dragging-and-dropping the card within the document space). The system may further update the layout of the document space based on the repositioning of the card.

  • Patent number: 12657469
    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique performs machine learning that bypasses the traditional design of loss functions. The technique includes receiving plural instances of gradient objective information. Each of the plural instances includes a particular combination of plural gradient elements. The technique produces plural sets of machine-trained parameter values using the plural respective instances of gradient objective information. The technique performs this operation based on the plural instances of gradient objective information as given, without calculating the plural instances of gradient objective information using loss functions. The technique then measures performance of the plural sets of machine-trained parameter values in an application system. Based on the measured performance, the technique provides output information that identifies a particular set of machine-trained parameter values that satisfies a prescribed test.

  • Patent number: 12657001
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to optimizing engagement with a display during digital assistant-performed operations in response to a received command. The digital assistant generates an overlay having user interface elements that present information determined to be relevant to a user based on the received command and contextual data. The overlay is presented over the underlying operations performed on corresponding applications to mask the visible steps of the operations being performed. In this way, the digital assistant optimizes display resources that are typically rendered useless during the processing of digital assistant-performed operations.

  • Patent number: 12608647
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods are provided for generating machine learning model for multimodal data inference tasks. Such a method includes, for each sample in a training dataset of multimodal data samples, encoding the sample to produce a compressed vector representation of the sample in a k-dimensional latent space, and perturbing features of the sample to identify, for each dimension of the latent space, a set of active features perturbation of each of which produces more than a threshold change in the vector representation in that dimension. The method further comprises generating a sample graph having nodes interconnected by edges, wherein the nodes comprise nodes representing respective said features of the sample and edges interconnecting nodes indicate the active features for each dimension. The sample graph is then used to train a graph neural network model to perform the multimodal data inference task. Multimodal data inference systems employing such models are also provided.

  • Patent number: 12566981
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for training and using time-domain bootstrapped event prediction models to predict the occurrence of an event within a software application. An example method generally includes receiving a data set of user activity within a software application. A request to predict a likelihood of an event occurring with respect to the software application based on the user activity is received. A likelihood of the event occurring is predicted using an event prediction model. The event prediction model is generally configured to predict the likelihood of the event occurring based on a likelihood over each of a plurality of non-overlapping time windows. A likelihood of the event occurring within a first time window is conditioned on a likelihood of the event occurring within a second time window. One or more actions are taken within the software application based on the predicted likelihood.
