Abstract: Implementations can reduce the time required to obtain responses from an automated assistant through proactive caching, locally at a client device, of proactive assistant cache entries—and through on-device utilization of the proactive assistant cache entries. Different proactive cache entries can be provided to different client devices, and various implementations relate to technique(s) utilized in determining which proactive cache entries to provide to which client devices. In some of those implementations, in determining which proactive cache entries to provide (proactively or in response to a request) to a given client device, a remote system selects, from a superset of candidate proactive cache entries, a subset of the cache entries for providing to the given client device.

Abstract: A method, a system, and computer program product for managing pay equity cloud-based software applications are provided. A query for compensation data for an employment position associated with a macro-entity is received. The employment position is defined by parameters associated with a micro-entity. The compensation data for similar employment positions associated with the macro-entity is retrieved, from a database and by using the parameters. The compensation data is processed to generate grouped and ranked employment positions. Compensation gaps between the ranked employment positions are determined, by executing a multivariate regression analysis including an analysis of one or more cohorts of employment positions within the ranked employment positions. A recommendation for adjusting compensation associated with one or more employment positions is generated, by using a machine learning model. An instruction to display a notification including the recommendation is provided.

Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A score for each of a plurality of authors of posts submitted to a server system is determined. The score for each individual author in the plurality is based on a score of one or more authors in the plurality that have requested to subscribe to a stream of posts that the individual author submits to the server system. A particular post submitted by a particular author in the plurality is received at the server system and from a computing device. A score is assigned to the particular post based on a score of the particular author. The particular post is transmitted from the server system to computing devices that are associated with authors who have requested to subscribe to posts by the particular author.

Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems and program products. A server system receives from a plurality of computing devices indications that a user of each of the computing devices requested to receive posts that a first user authors. The server system receives from a first computing device a post that was authored by the first user. The post is transmitted from the server system to the plurality of computing devices.
