Abstract: Methods and servers for generating a modifiable portion of a digital document which has message slots for placement of digital messages are disclosed. The generating being performed during a first selection-round of a plurality of selection-rounds. The method includes, during the first selection-round: providing access to a first combination of originators that are to bid for message slots during the first selection-round. The first combination is selected by limiting (i) the number of originators that are to bid for message slots, and (ii) which combination of originators are to bid for message slots. The method includes acquiring bidding data for the first selection-round. The method includes triggering placement of digital messages in the message slots of the modifiable portion based on the bidding data, and updating data about the first combination of originators for performing a subsequent selection-round.

Abstract: A method utilizes a deep question answering (QA) system to provide an answer, to a certain type of question, that includes an unfamiliar measurement unit. An answer key is utilized to train a DeepQA system to search for passages that answer a certain type of question, where the DeepQA system outputs an answer key value and an answer key measurement unit that is associated with the answer key value. The method identifies a candidate answer that includes a candidate passage containing the answer key value but not the answer key measurement unit, where a candidate passage measurement unit in the candidate passage is associated with the answer key value. The method then matches the answer key measurement unit to the candidate passage measurement unit based on the answer key measurement unit and the candidate passage measurement unit both being associated with the answer key value.

The one other user has a degree of similarity with respect to the searching user. Another method includes facilitating the search of such a similar user within a media service.

Abstract: A highlighting engine modifies a target document by identifying and highlighting a set of text passages. The highlighting engine receives a training set of data including documents that each include a set of highlighted text passages. The highlighting engine trains a machine learned model using the training set of data. The trained machine learned model, when applied to subsequent identified candidate sets of text passages within the target document, identifies the set of text passages to highlight. The highlighting engine modifies the target document with the highlighted set of text passages and provides the modified target document for display via an interface. The highlighted set of text passages enable a user to quickly read and understand the target document.

Abstract: Disentanglement of chat utterances is provided. An analysis of the linguistic collocations and the keywords of the multiple chat utterances and amount of contribution by respective chat users of the plurality of chat users to the multiple chat utterances is performed to determine a level of drift of the linguistic collocations, the keywords, and respective chat users over a course of the multiple chat utterances. Chat utterance entanglement of prior chat utterances is determined using determined level of drift based on the analysis by inferring keyword usage over time and how these keywords are related over the course of the multiple chat utterances. The prior chat utterances related to a particular topic are disentangled by removing certain chat utterances that have a statistically significant level of drift from that particular topic. Removed chat utterances are arranged as a new chat discourse related to a different topic in the chat conversation.

Abstract: An audio-visual management system and process for facilitating comprehension of electronic documents. As an example, a user may access contents of an electronic document via a user interface and request a speech-synthesized recitation of any text in the electronic document. In addition, the user interface can include a navigation tool configured to visually represent significant events in the electronic document via selectable indicators, including but not limited to comments, slides, images, graphs, and/or other internal contextual markers. These indicators can serve as navigation options that can provide guidance to users as they listen to a reading of the electronic document. User selection of an indicator can initiate an audio presentation of textual content that is directly associated with the specified event. In addition, users can view availability of others currently listening to the document and connect with them to create a joint listening experience.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for determining a logical starting location to start providing (e.g., reading) content to a user. When the user navigates to a particular web page and/or email message, a screen reader can automatically read content associated with the web page and/or email message beginning at the determined logical starting location. A heuristic can be applied in order to determine the logical starting location. The heuristic can analyze information regarding user interface element(s) (e.g., property(ies) and/or attribute(s)) of the particular webpage and/or email message to find a logical location to start reading once the webpage and/or email message have loaded.
