  • Patent number: 11461342
    Abstract: A computing system is described that determines, based on user-initiated actions performed by a group of computing devices, an intent of a search using a particular search query received from a computing device. The computing system adjusts, based on the intent, at least a particular portion of search results obtained from the search using the search query by emphasizing information that satisfies the intent. The computing system sends, to the computing device, an indication of the adjusted search results.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180197099
    Abstract: A computing device is described that determines, based on a state of a user, an initial user-interaction metric for information to be presented to the user and predicts, using a machine-learning model, a plurality of future states of the user. Each future state is associated with a respective user-interaction metric for the information. The device determines whether the initial user-interaction metric for the information is greater than or equal to the respective user-interaction metric of each of the future states and outputs an indication of the information if the initial user-interaction metric is greater than or equal to the respective user-interaction metric of each of the future states. However, if the initial user-interaction metric for the information is less than the respective user-interaction metric of any of the future states, the device refrains from outputting the indication of the information.
