Publication number: 20240037343Abstract: Intelligent agents (IA) for automatically generating responses to content within a communication session (CS) are disclosed. An IA is trained to target the responses to a user and the user's context within the CS. An IA receives CS content that includes natural language expressions encoding users' conversations and determines content features based on natural language models. The content features indicate intended semantics of the expressions. The IA identifies likely-relevant content to the targeted user, to generate a response for. Identifying such content includes determining a relevance of the content based on content features, a context of the CS, a user-interest model, and a content-relevance model. Identifying the likely-relevant content to respond to is based on the determined relevance of the content and relevance thresholds. Various responses to the identified portions of the content are automatically generated and provided based on a natural language response-generation model targeted to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Adi MILLER, Shira Weinberg, Haim Somech, Hen Fitoussi

Patent number: 10579442Abstract: In the field of computing, many scenarios involve the execution of an application within a virtual environment of a device (e.g., web applications executing within a web browser). Interactions between applications and device components are often enabled through hardware abstractions or component application programming interfaces (API), but such interactions may provide more limited and/or inconsistent access to component capabilities for virtually executing applications than for native applications. Instead, the device may provide hardware interaction as a service to the virtual environment utilizing a callback model, wherein applications within the virtual environment initiate component request specifying a callback, and the device initiates the component requests with the components and invokes associated callbacks upon completion of a component request.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Hen Fitoussi, John Daniell Hebert, Benny Schlesinger, Eran Yariv

Patent number: 10027753Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for cloud service hosting on a client device. For example, a cloud service may comprise data and/or functionality that may be consumed by apps on client devices. The cloud service may be hosted within a cloud computing environment because a client device may not comprise processing resources capable of hosting the entire cloud service. Accordingly, a local service may be deployed on a client device as a local instantiation of the cloud service. For example, the local service may be a local instantiation of at least a portion of the data and/or functionality of the cloud service. In this way, the local service may utilize fewer resources than the cloud service, and may locally process requests from apps on the client device. For example, a map local service may process requests using map data locally cached from a map cloud service.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2013Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Hen Fitoussi, Benny Schlesinger
