Gearard Boland has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11250038
    Abstract: An interactive question and answer (Q&A) service provides pairs of questions and corresponding answers related to the content of a web page. The service includes pre-configured Q&A pairs derived from a deep learning framework that includes a series of neural networks trained through joint and transfer learning to generate questions for a given text passage. In addition, pre-configured Q&A pairs are generated from historical web access patterns and sources related to the content of the web page.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 15, 2022
    Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC.
    Inventors: Payal Bajaj, Gearard Boland, Anshul Gupta, Matthew Glenn Jin, Eduardo Enrique Noriega De Armas, Jason Shaver, Neelakantan Sundaresan, Roshanak Zilouchian Moghaddam

  • Patent number: 9424163
    Abstract: Just My Code debugging allows developers to work on problems within their own code without noise from libraries, plugins and other unrelated code. Typical debugger behaviors may be modified based upon the identification or characterization of JavaScript code as “My Code,” “Library Code,” or “Unrelated Code.” The debugger behaviors that may be modified depending upon the code's characterization include, for example, first-chance exception handling, unhandled exception handling, the behavior of the debugger at explicit user breakpoints, the behavior when a user directs the debugger to break upon the next statement, and the behavior of the debugger when the user executes a stepping gesture. The debugger's visualizes core elements of the program state, such as the call stack, depending upon the identification or characterization of the code.

  • Patent number: 9239774
    Abstract: Just My Code debugging allows developers to work on problems within their own code without noise from libraries, plugins and other unrelated code. Typical debugger behaviors may be modified based upon the identification or characterization of JavaScript code as “My Code,” “Library Code,” or “Unrelated Code.” The debugger behaviors that may be automatically determined using heuristics or set using a code-characterization file provided by a host application. The debugger receives project file information from the host application via a debugger-host interface. The debugger applies code-designation heuristics to undesignated code segments. If a code characterization file is received with the project information, the debugger designates application code segments based upon definitions in the code-characterization file. Once the debugger has characterized the code segments, it performs debugging operations on the application code.
