  • Patent number: 11263399
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can generate user input correction suggestions based on the user's context. For example, the user's context can include content that the user has open or has recently opened on the computing device or another computing device. For example, when the user opens an item of content, the computing device can generate a context dictionary that includes words, phrases, etc., that describe the opened content. When the user provides input (e.g., text, speech, etc.) the computing device can use the context dictionary to generate input correction suggestions. The computing device can synchronize the context dictionary with other computing devices that the user may be using so that the user's context on one device can be used by another device to generate input correction suggestions.

  • Patent number: 11250956
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided to detect similarities between two or more clinical documents. It is determined that a clinician is currently inputting data into a first clinical document that is associated with a patient. A selectable option is provided on a user interface into which the clinician is currently inputting the data. An indication is received that the selectable option has been selected by the clinician. An algorithm is applied to identify the second clinical document from a plurality of clinical documents. At least a portion of the inputted data in the first clinical document and at least a portion of data in the second clinical document are transformed to generate a new representation of the first clinical document that indicates the similarities that are potentially inaccurate or inappropriate between the first clinical document and the second clinical document.

  • Patent number: 11232309
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems provide user interfaces that allow users to review search results, pinpoint relevant portions of media content items where the identified objects are determined to be present, review detector performance and retrain detectors, providing search result feedback, and/or reviewing video monitoring results and analytics.

  • Patent number: 11222076
    Abstract: A user interface that allows the user to lock in a comparison state of an inspector control that provides a view on state of a data set being subjected to transformations. The inspector control visualizes a state of at least a portion of the data set (such as a column, table or database) as that data set is navigated by a navigation control. At least under some circumstances, the inspector control also visualizes a comparison state of the data set. A comparison lock control allows the comparison state of the data set to be locked at a particular comparison state regardless of the navigation control navigating the data set. Accordingly, until the comparison state is unlocked via a comparison unlock control, the inspector control visualizes a current state of the data set along with a visualization of the locked comparison state of the data set.
