  • Publication number: 20240371089
    Abstract: A data processing system implements obtaining presentation content for a presentation, the presentation content including a set of slides and a transcript. The system further implements obtaining presentation style information for the presentation from a presentation datastore, generating a prompt for a LLM that includes the transcript and the presentation style information to cause the first LLM to generate an augmented transcript by rewriting the textual cues of the first transcript into a conversational style associated with the presentation style identified in the presentation style information; generating audiovisual content by generating speech for a virtual presenter and generating audiovisual content synchronizing an animation of the virtual presenter with the first audio content, and sending the audiovisual content to the computing devices of users who are in an audience of the presentation.

  • Publication number: 20240257420
    Abstract: A data processing system implements techniques for automatically generating a presentation from a source document or a selection of a portion thereof. These techniques segment the document into a plurality of segments based on subject matter and transform those segments into textual content for slides for the presentation. The techniques also may selectively search for AI-generated and non-AI generated imagery to include in the slides for the presentation. These techniques provide safeguards for ensuring that AI-generated imagery is not utilized in instances in which such imagery would be inappropriate, misleading, or offensive. The techniques also provide means for user-specific control over when AI-generated imagery is utilized in the slides of an automatically generated presentation.

  • Patent number: 11829723
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying relevant content from other documents and presenting candidate documents in a document authoring application is described. The system identifies a pattern of events from the document authoring application. The system receives a request to identify candidate documents pertinent to a document present in the document authoring application. A set of candidate documents is identified from a document library based on the pattern of events, a reuse score for each candidate document, a similarity score for each candidate document, and content in the document present in the document authoring application. The set of candidate documents is provided in a user interface element of the document authoring application.

  • Publication number: 20220352498
    Abstract: A rechargeable battery includes an iron electrode comprising carbonyl iron composition dispersed over a fibrous electrically conductive substrate. The carbonyl iron composition includes carbonyl iron and at least one additive. A counter-electrode is spaced from the iron electrode. An electrolyte is in contact with the iron electrode and the counter-electrode such that during discharge. Iron in the iron electrode is oxidized with reduction occurring at the counter-electrode such that an electric potential develops. During charging, iron oxides and hydroxides in the iron electrode are reduced with oxidation occurring at the counter-electrode (i.e., a nickel electrode or an air electrode).

  • Patent number: 10460012
    Abstract: A document lens service identifies a document profile specific to an end-user that is indicative of a model document for the end-user. When a productivity document is opened to be consumed by the end-user in a user interface to a productivity application, the service modifies the productivity document based at least on the document profile to align the productivity document with the model document. The productivity document is then rendered as-modified in the user interface.
