  • Patent number: 9672202
    Abstract: Various components provide options to re-format an input based on one or more contexts. The input is received that has been submitted to an application (e.g., messaging application, mobile application, word-processing application, web browser, search tool, etc.), and one or more outputs are identified that are possibilities to be provided as options for re-formatting. A respective score of each output is determined by applying a statistical model to a respective combination of the input and each output, the respective score comprising a plurality of context scores that quantify a plurality of contexts of the respective combination. Exemplary contexts include historical-user contexts, domain contexts, and general contexts. One or more suggested outputs are selected from among the one or more outputs based on the respective scores and are provided as options to re-format the input.

  • Patent number: 8611505
    Abstract: Methods and systems of performing user input recognition are disclosed. A digital directory comprising listings is accessed. Metadata information is associated with individual listings describing the individual listings. The metadata information is modified to generate transformed metadata information. Therefore, the transformed metadata information is generated as a function of context information relating to a typical user interaction with the listings. Information is generated for aiding in an automated user input recognition process based on the transformed metadata information.
