  • Publication number: 20240144356
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting, curating, normalizing, enriching, and synthesizing the results of user experience (UX) tests. In some embodiments, a system receives input defining or modifying a theme schema for classifying results of user experience tests. Responsive to receiving the input, the system trains a themer model based at least in part on example classifications in a training dataset, where the classifications map results to themes within the theme schema. When a new set of results for a user experience test is received, the trained machine learning model may generate a set of predicted themes to classify the test results. The output of the model may be used to render user interfaces and/or trigger other actions directed to optimizing a product's design.

  • Publication number: 20240144107
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting, curating, normalizing, enriching, and synthesizing the results of user experience (UX) tests. In some embodiments, a system identifies a set of expectation elements associated with one or more UX tests. An expectation element may specify, using unstructured data that does not conform to a schema, an expectation for a user experience and a respective outcome for the user experience. A themer model may generate predictions that map the respective expectation elements to a theme from a theme schema, which may include a plurality of themes. A selector model may generate selection scores for the expectation elements. The predicted themes and selection scores may be used to render user interfaces and/or trigger other actions directed to optimizing a product's design.

  • Patent number: 11972442
    Abstract: Techniques and embodiments are described herein for detecting and mitigating fraudulent activity within user experience (UX) test applications. In some embodiments, a system applies a set of rules and/or machine learning (ML) models to each respondent of an online survey or UX test. Different ML models may be trained to learn domain-specific patterns indicative of fraudulent activity. The system may then select the ML models based on attributes of the UX test and/or respondent. The selected rules and/or ML models may generate a probabilistic score representing a likelihood that the respondent is currently engaging in or will engage in fraudulent activity with respect to a UX test. If the score exceeds a threshold, then the system may take action to mitigate the fraudulent activity, such as triggering the removal of the user from an accepted respondent pool, halting further engagement between the respondent and the UX test, and generating alerts.

  • Publication number: 20240118993
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting, curating, normalizing, enriching, and synthesizing the results of user experience tests. In some embodiments, a system identifies a qualitative element within a result set for a user experience test. The system then selects a machine learning model to apply based on one or more attributes associated with the user experience test and generates a predicted visibility, quality, and/or relevance for the qualitative element. Based on the prediction, the system generates a user interface that curates a set of results of the user experience test.

  • Publication number: 20170273345
    Abstract: A method of opening a young coconut includes removing a top portion of a husk of the coconut to expose a top of a shell of the coconut, the top of the shell comprising a first vein, a second vein, and a third vein, etching a scoring into the top of the shell, the scoring passing through the first vein, the second vein, and the third vein, leveraging the shell at the scoring using a lever, and opening the coconut such that the shell cracks along the scoring

  • Patent number: 7167373
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention includes a flexible circuit and a stiffener. The flexible circuit has first, second, and third portions. The first portion is folded on an upper surface of the third portion and has first contact elements attached to a first device. The second portion is folded on the first device and has second contact elements attached to a second device. The stiffener is attached to the upper surface of the third portion and located between the upper surface of the third portion and the first portion.
