  • Publication number: 20240152933
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of automatic mapping of a question or compliance controls associated with a compliance standard to compliance controls associated with another compliance standard. Reference controls having respective first subsets of text-based features are identified. A question having a second subset of the text-based features or custom controls having respective second subsets of the text-based features are identified. Scores for the respective reference controls are determined for the question or each custom control using a supervised natural language processing machine learning model based at least on the first subsets of the text-based features and the second subset(s) of the text-based features. A compliance map is generated by automatically mapping the question or each custom control to a respective subset of the reference controls using the supervised natural language processing machine learning model based at least on the scores.

  • Publication number: 20240103694
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface: displays a first user interface that includes a plurality of selectable objects; while a focus selector is at a location that corresponds to a respective selectable object, detects an input that includes detecting a contact on the touch-sensitive surface; and in response to detecting the input: in accordance with a determination that detecting the input meeting input criteria, including a criterion that is met when the contact meets a respective input threshold, displays a menu that includes contact information for the respective selectable object overlaid on top of the first user interface; and in accordance with a determination that detecting the input includes detecting a liftoff of the contact without meeting the input criteria, replaces display of the first user interface with display of a second user interface.

  • Patent number: 11922004
    Abstract: Reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. In some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. In some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. In some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.

  • Patent number: 11669915
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a set of accounts, each account of the set of accounts having a number of followers. The set of accounts are grouped into a plurality of groups based on number of followers, wherein each group is associated with a value score. A machine learning model is trained using a set of training data comprising account recommendation conversion information, wherein the account recommendation conversion information comprises a plurality of successful account recommendations, and each successful account recommendation is assigned a weight based on the value scores associated with the plurality of groups. One or more accounts of the set of accounts are selected to present as account recommendations based on the machine learning model.
