  • Patent number: 11272032
    Abstract: User interfaces such as web pages may be customized in terms of appearance and content based on user interests. For example, information items may be arranged such that items corresponding to strong user interests are displayed in more visually identifiable locations while items corresponding to weaker user interests are displayed in less visually valuable positions. The size of and space allocated to the information items may also be customized based on the relative strengths of the corresponding interests. For example, information associated with a strong user interest may be allotted 50% of the user interface. Other visual characteristics of the user interface and the information items such as font size/style, color, transparency and the like may also be customized to reflect the importance or strength of corresponding user interfaces.

  • Patent number: 11169826
    Abstract: Techniques for user-assisted plug-in application recipe (PIAR) execution are disclosed. During execution of a PIAR, a PIAR management application applies one or more data values for a plug-in application field to a machine learning model, to obtain: (a) a candidate mapping between one or more sub-values discovered within the data value(s) and another field accepted by an action of another plug-in application, the data value(s) being of a data type different from a reported data type of the other field, and (b) a confidence metric associated with the candidate mapping, based at least in part on whether the sub-value(s) fit(s) one or more stored formats mapped to the other data type. Based on a determination that the confidence metric does not satisfy a threshold confidence criterion, the PIAR management application obtains user input affirming or rejecting the candidate mapping, and applies the user input to execution of the PIAR.
