  • Patent number: 11693910
    Abstract: The present concepts relate to an improved personalized search engine that can generate personalized rankings of search results in view of individual user's personal preferences and interests. Information about a segment of online content is collected. Certain activities by a user are tracked, including search queries submitted by the user, search results clicked on by the user, and/or web pages browsed by the user. From these activities, the user's preferences relating the segment are inferred using the collected segment information. When the user conducts a search directed to the segment, certain search results that the user is more likely to be interested in, based on the user's preferences, are ranked higher to generate the personalized rankings.

  • Patent number: 11631050
    Abstract: Methods and systems for incorporating physical documents into a document review workflow involving electronic documents. One or more embodiments detect a presence of a physical document within a field of view of an AR device and map the physical document to an existing electronic document based on visual features of the physical document. Additionally, one or more embodiments determine at least one difference between the physical document and the electronic document and create, for the physical document and the electronic document a shared state mapping including the difference(s). One or more embodiments then apply the difference to the physical document or the electronic document by displaying the difference(s) in an AR layer within the field of view of the AR device or storing the difference(s) in the electronic document.

  • Publication number: 20220222289
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods for identifying additional content for an article. The systems, devices, and methods may identify a domain for the articles and content and may use machine learning models to classify the articles and the content into categories using smart tags for the domain. The systems, devices, and methods may convert the articles and the content into document vectors using a pre-trained domain specific language model and generate a relevance score for the articles and the content using the document vectors. The systems, devices, and methods may generate a list of predicted matches that includes content that is similar to the article based on the relevance score. The systems, devices, and methods may filter the list of predicted matches based on a temporal proximity to generate a list of additional content for the article.

  • Publication number: 20220171819
    Abstract: A method of selectively providing different types of search engine results to different searchers is provided. A browsing history for each of a plurality of unique identities is logged. A unique identity is associated with a rich segment experience responsive to the browsing history for the unique identity satisfying correlation criteria of the rich segment experience. The rich segment experience is configured to present curated segment-specific information with other search results on a search result web page. Responsive to receiving a search query from the unique identity previously associated with the rich segment experience, the rich segment experience is presented with other search results on the search result web page. Responsive to receiving the search query from a different unique identity not previously associated with the rich segment experience, other search results are presented without the rich segment experience on the search result web page.
