  • Publication number: 20260031087
    Abstract: A system for providing a personalized assistant for network-based communication services utilizes one or more processors and memory to enhance user interaction through intelligent query processing. The system receives queries from computing devices and processes them using an intermediate model that analyzes communication session transcripts, user data, and session metadata alongside shared content from the communication service. The intermediate model generates prompt templates with content selection criteria to identify relevant transcript portions and shared content, constructing targeted prompts for a generative language model. The system handles various content types including files, screen sharing, and chat messages through rule-based engines, while employing transcript partitioning and rolling summary techniques for extended sessions.

  • Publication number: 20250363990
    Abstract: A system for providing a personalized assistant within a network-based communication session includes a processor and a memory storage device storing instructions. The system determines when a first communication session participant joins the network-based communication session after a threshold duration of time subsequent to the start time of the session. Upon determining the first participant has joined, the system obtains content associated with the session and creates request data for a pre-trained generative language model. The request data includes an instruction requesting a predetermined number of suggested utterances not present in the content, each utterance relating to one or more topics corresponding to the content. The system transforms the request data to a command based on a command template and provides the command to the generative language model.

  • Patent number: 12475887
    Abstract: A system for providing a personalized assistant within a network-based communication service includes one or more processors and a memory storage device storing instructions thereon. During a network-based communication session, the system receives a query from a computing device of a first communication session participant and processes the query by determining that a second communication session participant has shared content via a content sharing feature of the network-based communication service. In response, the system provides the query and at least a portion of the shared content as input to a model, which dynamically constructs a prompt for use as input with a generative language model. The system then presents the prompt as input to the generative language model, receives a response as output from the generative language model, and causes presentation of the response to be presented to the communication session participant.

  • Patent number: 11710139
    Abstract: A computing system, computer-readable storage medium, and method for individual treatment effect (ITE) estimation under high-order interference in hypergraphs are described herein. The method includes accessing, via a processor, a hypergraph dataset including multi-way interactions among nodes within each hyperedge of a corresponding hypergraph, where the hypergraph dataset corresponds to a treatment assignment for each node. The method includes performing representation learning on the hypergraph dataset to control for confounders corresponding to features of each node and to learn a confounder representation for each node. The method also includes modeling a high-order interference representation for each node by propagating the learned confounder representation and the treatment assignment for each node through a hypergraph neural network.

  • Publication number: 20220036265
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for enhancing remote work productivity data. In one embodiment, worker data is obtained for a set of target workers and a set of control workers. The target workers are generally identified as working in the office prior to a treatment date and working remote after a treatment date, and the control workers are generally identified as working remote before and after the treatment date. Thereafter, an effect of working remotely is determined using a difference-in-differences model that measures differences in observational changes between the set of target workers and the set of control workers measured before and after the treatment date. The effect of working remotely can be used to generate a generating a productivity score indicating an extent of productivity in relation to the set of target workers.

  • Publication number: 20210119956
    Abstract: A system is described for integrating a search engine and one or more social network resources. The system operates by determining whether a search operation being conducted by a user warrants interaction with a social network resource. If so, the system may provide an invitation to the user to forward a query-related message to the social network resource. The system then sends the message to a group of contacts via the social network resource, where the group of contacts can be defined in various ways. The system receives a response from at least one contact in the group of contacts and presents that response to the user using various delivery mechanisms, as governed by various delivery timings.

  • Patent number: 10067920
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are disclosed for providing changed content identification for an online document that is accessed by a user or user agent. A reference point for an online document that a user or user agent is interested in accessing is identified, comprising a stored prior version of the document. The prior version of the document is retrieved, when the user or user agent accesses the online document, such as by using the reference point. Elements of the prior version are compared with elements of a current version of the document, to determine whether there are differences between the versions. If changes are identified between the prior version and the current version, the current version is automatically updated with visual or auditory representations that identify those changes of content.
