  • Patent number: 10754645
    Abstract: Improved techniques for asynchronously displaying the results of a codebase analysis service are provided herein. Initially, machine learning is applied to a corpus of model code. In doing so, a machine learning model is generated, where the model identifies coding practices that are included in the corpus of model code. After this model is generated, then the model is applied to a current codebase by comparing coding practices of the current codebase to the identified coding practices that were extracted, or rather identified, from the corpus of model code. Then, in response to detecting one or more differences between the current codebase's coding practices and the identified coding practices, where the differences satisfy a pre-determined difference threshold, a user interface is caused to display one or more insights. These insights beneficially provide additional detailed information describing the differences.

  • Publication number: 20060184608
    Abstract: The present invention allows a user or community of users to rate content across a variety of web sites and display contextual sensitive reviews. Rather than the rating information being controlled by the web site owner, the rating information may be owned and controlled by a third party. Users have the ability to rate a web site, review ratings from a web site, or operate a web site rating system.
