  • Patent number: 10671977
    Abstract: A communication application creates a team mailbox integrating messages from an email repository and documents from a content management store (CMS). The application enables an administrator to define and manage members of the team mailbox with varying privilege status for accessing the team mailbox. Content such as aggregated messages and associated documents are displayed through a unified view to standardize ease of access. The members are enabled to receive messages sent to the team mailbox by others. Policies inherited from email repository, CMS, and/or third party policy providers are enforced within the team mailbox.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8090669
    Abstract: Architecture that employs adaptive learning algorithms to adapt a data correction tool to user-specific behavior during runtime. The architecture includes a framework for training and measuring adaptive learning algorithms, adapting the current text correction tool codebase, and one or more different adaptive learning algorithms. This enables a text correction system to adapt the behavior of the text correction system to an individual user based on the user's interaction with the data correction system. This also facilitates the testing and improvements in an adaptive learning algorithm at the vendor before shipping in a product to the end-user. This reduces the risk of shipping a feature the precise behavior of which is different for each user.
