  • Patent number: 11010547
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and applying outgoing communication templates. In various implementations a corpus of outgoing communications sent by a user may be grouped into a plurality of clusters based on one or more attributes of a context of the user. One or more segments of each outgoing communication of a particular cluster may be classified as fixed in response to a determination that a count of occurrences of the one or more segments across the particular cluster satisfies a criterion. One or more remaining segments of each communication of the particular cluster may or may not be classified as transient. Based on sequences of classified segments associated with each communication of the particular cluster, an outgoing communication template may be generated to automatically populate at least a portion of a draft outgoing communication being prepared by the user.

  • Patent number: 10540610
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are provided for analyzing a cluster of communications, such as B2C emails, to generate a template for the cluster that defines transient segments and fixed segments of the cluster of communications. More particularly, methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and/or applying a trained structured machine learning model for a generated template that can be used to determine, for one or more transient segments of subsequent communications, a corresponding probability that a given semantic label is the correct semantic label for extracted content of the transient segment(s).

  • Patent number: 10360537
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for generating and applying event data extraction templates. In various implementations, a data extraction template may be applied to structured communications to extract, from each structured communication, event data associated with a transient markup language path indicated in the data extraction template. The data extraction template may include an event-related semantic data type assigned to the transient markup language path and a strength of association between the transient structural path and the event-related semantic data type. Feedback may be obtained concerning event data extracted from one or more of the structured communications. Based on the feedback, the strength of association between the transient markup language path and the event-related semantic data type may be altered.

  • Patent number: 10216837
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for selecting pattern matching segments suitable for electronic communication clustering. A set of pattern matching segments may be identified that match at least one of a corpus of electronic communication addresses. A measure of coverage of each of the set of pattern matching segments across the corpus of electronic communication addresses may be determined. A score associated with each pattern matching segment may be determined based on the measure of coverage and one or more measures of flexibility associated with each of the set of pattern matching segments. One or more of the pattern matching segments may be selected based on the determine scores. A corpus of electronic communications may then be grouped into a plurality of clusters based on a comparison of the one or more selected pattern matching segments to electronic communication addresses associated with the corpus of electronic communications.

  • Patent number: 10216838
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and applying data extraction templates. In various implementations, a corpus of structured communications such as emails may be grouped into clusters based on one or more similarities between the structured communications. A set of structural paths may be identified from structured communications of a particular cluster. One or more structural paths of the set may be classified as transient wherein a count of occurrences of one or more associated segments of text across the particular cluster satisfies a criterion. One or more transient paths may be assigned a semantic data type and/or a confidentiality designation based on various signals. A data extraction template may be generated to extract, from subsequent structured communications, segments of text associated with transient (and in some cases, non-confidential) structural paths.

  • Patent number: 9785705
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and applying data extraction templates. In various implementations, a corpus of plain text communications such as emails may be grouped into clusters based on one or more similarities between the plain text communications. One or more segments of communications of a particular cluster may be classified as transient based on textual pattern matching. One or more other segments of the communications of the particular cluster may be classified as transient based on various criteria. One or more transient segments may be assigned a generic and/or specific semantic data type and/or a confidentiality designation based on various signals. A data extraction template may be generated to extract, from subsequent plain text communications, content associated with transient (and in some cases, non-confidential) segments.

  • Patent number: 9756073
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for determining whether communications are attempts at phishing. In various implementations, a potentially-deceptive communication may be matched to one or more templates of a plurality of templates. Each template may represent content shared among a cluster of communications sent by a legitimate entity. In various implementations, it may be determined that an address associated with the communication is not affiliated with one or more legitimate entities associated with the one or more matched templates. In various implementations, the communication may be classified as a phishing attempt based on the determining.

  • Patent number: 9652530
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described herein for generating and applying event data extraction templates. In various implementations, a set of structural paths may be identified from a corpus of communications. A first structural path of the set of structural paths, associated with a first segment of text, may be classified as transient in response to a determination that a frequency of occurrences of the first segment of text across the corpus satisfies a criterion. Event heuristics may be applied to the communications of the corpus. A determination may be made, based on the applying, that the communications of the corpus are event-related. An event data type may be assigned to the transient structural path based on the applying. An event data extraction template may be generated to extract, from one or more subsequent communications, one or more event-related segments of text associated with the transient structural path.
