  • Publication number: 20240169321
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may obtain interaction data for an evaluator in a communication session with an individual based on interactions of the evaluator with the individual during the communication session, wherein the evaluator is to provide the evaluation of the individual. The device may obtain evaluation information identifying the evaluation of the individual by the evaluator. The device may determine a degree of bias of the evaluator toward the individual during the communication session based on at least the interaction data. The device may adjust the evaluation of the individual based on the degree of bias of the evaluator.

  • Publication number: 20240172076
    Abstract: A transmission method and a communication apparatus provide a source access network device receives first data and a first identifier. The first identifier indicates a last data packet of the first data, and the first data is data in a first periodicity of a periodic service. The source access network device sends a handover command to a terminal device in a first time period. A start moment of the first time period is a moment at which the last data packet is sent, an end moment of the first time period is an end moment of the first periodicity, and the handover command instructs the terminal device to perform a handover to a target access network device. This avoids interruption of sending the first data by the source access network device due to the handover and improves transmission reliability of the periodic service.

  • Patent number: 11991137
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A group-based communication system may determine timing for sending notifications to users of the group-based communication system to improve the likelihood of the users interacting with the notifications, interacting with other users in the system, or both. For example, the group-based communication system may identify a notification to send to a user, where the user is associated with a user identifier and a workspace identifier in the group-based communication system. The system may dynamically determine a time for sending the notification based on activity data for the user corresponding to the user identifier and activity data for multiple other users corresponding to the workspace identifier (e.g., members of a team with the user). The system may send the notification for display in a user interface of a user device operated by the user at the determined time.
