  • Patent number: 11520973
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing user-specific previews for terms within text. An example method can include receiving tracked user behavior reflecting terms selected by a user and entered into a search. A representation of known words can be created based on the tracked user behavior. By training machine-learning models for each individual user, personalized previews can be presented when each user encounters a new body of text, such as in a webpage or email. The preview can apply to a term not previously known to the user but likely to be searched by the user, relying on content gathered from a search on a search medium that the user was likely to use. The content can be presented to the user in a graphical user interface allowing for interaction and feedback.

  • Publication number: 20220377056
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for securing confidential content in a virtual meeting. In an example, a host can create a meeting agenda that identifies attendees and access restrictions for the meeting. A server can generate encryption keys corresponding to different confidentiality levels of content identified in the agenda. The encryption keys can be provided to user devices of the attendees based on the access permissions of the attendees. As the virtual meeting takes place, the server can encrypt confidential portions of the content stream for the meeting using the encryption keys. In an example, the server can also apply a machine learning algorithm to identify any confidential content in the content stream not previously identified. The server can encrypt additional confidential content where appropriate using encryption keys corresponding to the confidentiality level of the content.
