Publication number: 20240135113Abstract: The indirect querying of models to determine capabilities possessed by the model. Such indirect queries take the form of model input that potentially includes a natural language input user data. Such model input is structured such that the output of the model is either not natural language at all, or else is natural language that is not semantically responsive to the natural language input. Nevertheless, the output is evaluated to estimate or determine the capability possessed by the model. Thus, models may be more fully utilized to their better potential.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Benjamin Goth ZORN, Carina Suzana NEGREANU, Neil Blunt TORONTO, Brian Paul SLININGER, Andrew Donald GORDON, Advait SARKAR, Elnaz NOURI, Vu Minh LE, Christian Leopold Bejamin POELITZ, Shraddha Govind BARKE, Sruti Srinivasa RAGAVAN

Publication number: 20230418815Abstract: The generation of a response to a task prompt that represents a task to perform on declarative code. The response is generated with the aid of a language model that was trained on imperative code. The declarative code includes declarations about data. A task prompt represents a task to perform on the declarative code. At least a portion of the declarative code and at least a portion of the task prompt are converted into input imperative code. The input imperative code is then caused to be provided as input to the language model, resulting in the language model generating output imperative code. At least a portion of the output imperative code is then converted into a response to the task prompt.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Benjamin Goth ZORN, Carina Suzana NEGREANU, Neil Blunt TORONTO, Brian Paul SLININGER, Andrew Donald GORDON, Advait SARKAR, Sruti Srinivasa RAGAVAN

Patent number: 11636254Abstract: A system for provenance aware editing for propagating edits back to spreadsheets is provided. The system receives an indication of an operation to be performed at an output location. The operation indicates one or more input locations on a spreadsheet that each provides an input value. The input values are accessed and tagged with their corresponding input location on the spreadsheet. Based on the operation and the input value from each of the one or more input locations, the system derives and displays the result at the output location. A user edit to the result is received at the output location, which causes transmission of a propagation request to change the input value at one or more of the tagged input locations. Using where-provenance associated with the tagged input locations, the system propagates the user edit to one or more of the tagged input locations.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John Herbert Martin Williams, Andrew Donald Gordon, Joseph McDaid, Benjamin Edward Rampson, Brian Jones

Publication number: 20220167869Abstract: Systems and methods described herein use near field communications to locate a radiating transponder, such as a pill swallowed by a patient. The system can be triggered to turn on and transmit a waveform to a set of antennas attached to, coupled with, or near the patient. The magnetic field emitted by the transponder can be measured by the receiving antennas, for example, using principles of mutual inductance. The differential phase and/or time shifts between the antennas can contain sufficient information to find the location of the transponder and optionally its orientation relative to body coordinates. The system can display the location and/or orientation of the transponder. Further, the pill can include a reservoir to deliver a payload at a particular site of the patient's body based at least in part on the determined location.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2021Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Thomas Eugene Old, John Christopher Baker, Neal J.

Patent number: 10902194Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for handing approximate (or uncertain) values in spreadsheet applications. More specifically, the technology describes spreadsheet applications that support arrays or sets of approximate (or uncertain) values as native entities. An approximate (or uncertain) value may be the value of a cell of the spreadsheet that is resolvable by formula, charts and other functionalities. In some implementations, approximate values may include a range of data and a probability distribution that can be automatically created by the spreadsheet application, generated based on context, input by the user, etc. Because the approximate (or uncertain) value is natively available, it can be incorporated in a spreadsheet like other values. Additionally, the approximate (or uncertain) values can automatically propagate through a spreadsheet calculation to obtain a final approximate result.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Neil Blunt Toronto, Advait Sarkar, Christian Mendel Canton, Andrew Donald Gordon, Benjamin Edward Rampson, Johnny Campbell, Anusha Iyer
