Publication number: 20240163238Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that generates editable email components by utilizing an Answer Set Programming (ASP) model with hard and soft constraints. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate editable email components from email fragments of an email file utilizing an Answer Set Programming (ASP) model. In particular, the disclosed systems extract facts for the ASP model from the email file. In addition, the disclosed systems determine rows or columns defining cells of the email file utilizing ASP hard constraints defined by a first set of ASP atoms corresponding to the facts. Moreover, the disclosed systems determine editable email component classes for the email fragments utilizing ASP soft constraints defined by ASP classification weights and a second set of ASP atoms corresponding to the facts.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Yeuk-yin Chan, Andrew Thomson, Caroline Kim, Cole Connelly, Eunyee Koh, Michelle Lee, Shunan Guo
