Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for suggesting actions for selected text based on content displayed on a mobile device. An example method can include converting a selection made via a display device into a query, providing the query to an action suggestion model that is trained to predict an action given a query, each action being associated with a mobile application, receiving one or more predicted actions, and initiating display of the one or more predicted actions on the display device. Another example method can include identifying, from search records, queries where a website is highly ranked, the website being one of a plurality of websites in a mapping of websites to mobile applications. The method can also include generating positive training examples for an action suggestion model from the identified queries, and training the action suggestion model using the positive training examples.

Abstract: Systems and methods are shown for providing private local sponsored content selection and improving intelligence models through distribution among mobile devices. This allows greater data gathering capabilities through the use of the sensors of the mobile devices as well as data stored on data storage components of the mobile devices to create predicted models while offering better opportunities to preserve privacy. Locally stored profiles comprising machine intelligence models may also be used to determine the relevance of the data gathered and in improving an aggregated model for identifying the relevance of data and the selection of sponsored content items. Distributed optimization is used in conjunction with privacy techniques to create the improved machine intelligence models. Publishers may also benefit from the improved privacy by protecting the statistics of type or volume of sponsored content items shown with publisher content.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for content quasi-personalization or anonymized content retrieval via aggregated browsing history of a large plurality of devices, such as millions or billions of devices. A sparse matrix may be constructed from the aggregated browsing history, and dimensionally reduced, reducing entropy and providing anonymity for individual devices. Relevant content may be selected via quasi-personalized clusters representing similar browsing histories, without exposing individual device details to content providers.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to input suggestion. In particular, the methods and systems of the present disclosure can: receive, from a first application executed by one or more computing devices, data indicating information that has been presented by and/or input into the first application; generate, based at least in part on the received data, one or more suggested candidate inputs for a second application executed by the computing device(s); provide, in association with the second application, an interface comprising one or more options to select at least one suggested candidate input of the suggested candidate input(s); and responsive to receiving data indicating a selection of a particular suggested candidate input of the suggested candidate input(s) via the interface, communicate, to the second application, data indicating the particular suggested candidate input.

Abstract: Systems and methods for learning differentially private machine-learned models are provided. A computing system can include one or more server computing devices comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that collectively store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more server computing devices to perform operations. The operations can include selecting a subset of client computing devices from a pool of available client computing devices; providing a machine-learned model to the selected client computing devices; receiving, from each selected client computing device, a local update for the machine-learned model; determining a differentially private aggregate of the local updates; and determining an updated machine-learned model based at least in part on the data-weighted average of the local updates.

Abstract: A messaging application may automatically analyze content of one or more messages and/or user information to automatically provide suggestions to a user within a messaging application. The suggestions may automatically incorporate particular non-messaging functionality into the messaging application. The automatic suggestions may suggest one or more appropriate responses to be selected by a user to respond in the messaging application, and/or may automatically send one or more appropriate responses on behalf of a user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for on-device machine learning. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to an on-device machine learning platform and associated techniques that enable on-device prediction, training, example collection, and/or other machine learning tasks or functionality. The on-device machine learning platform can include a context provider that securely injects context features into collected training examples and/or client-provided input data used to generate predictions/inferences. Thus, the on-device machine learning platform can enable centralized training example collection, model training, and usage of machine-learned models as a service to applications or other clients.
