Patent number: 11797590Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to providing a rich content experience based on information received from unstructured content. A plurality of information items may be obtained from a plurality of data source, where each information item includes unstructured content. The plurality of information items may be provided to a trained machine learning model, where the model is trained with training data that includes information items and corresponding labeled entities for a plurality of historical events. In examples, a formatted request may be received, where the formatted request is associated with one or more labeled entities associated with the trained machine learning model. The trained machine learning model may identify multiple entities from the unstructured content based on the formatted request associated with the one or more labeled entities. In examples, each identified entity of the multiple identified entities is stored as structured content responsive to the formatted request.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pranathi R.

Patent number: 11693910Abstract: The present concepts relate to an improved personalized search engine that can generate personalized rankings of search results in view of individual user's personal preferences and interests. Information about a segment of online content is collected. Certain activities by a user are tracked, including search queries submitted by the user, search results clicked on by the user, and/or web pages browsed by the user. From these activities, the user's preferences relating the segment are inferred using the collected segment information. When the user conducts a search directed to the segment, certain search results that the user is more likely to be interested in, based on the user's preferences, are ranked higher to generate the personalized rankings.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Aman Singhal, Marcelo De Barros, Prithvishankar Srinivasan

Publication number: 20220222289Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods for identifying additional content for an article. The systems, devices, and methods may identify a domain for the articles and content and may use machine learning models to classify the articles and the content into categories using smart tags for the domain. The systems, devices, and methods may convert the articles and the content into document vectors using a pre-trained domain specific language model and generate a relevance score for the articles and the content using the document vectors. The systems, devices, and methods may generate a list of predicted matches that includes content that is similar to the article based on the relevance score. The systems, devices, and methods may filter the list of predicted matches based on a temporal proximity to generate a list of additional content for the article.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2021Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Prithvishankar SRINIVASAN, Aman SINGHAL, Marcelo Medeiros DE BARROS

Publication number: 20220171819Abstract: A method of selectively providing different types of search engine results to different searchers is provided. A browsing history for each of a plurality of unique identities is logged. A unique identity is associated with a rich segment experience responsive to the browsing history for the unique identity satisfying correlation criteria of the rich segment experience. The rich segment experience is configured to present curated segment-specific information with other search results on a search result web page. Responsive to receiving a search query from the unique identity previously associated with the rich segment experience, the rich segment experience is presented with other search results on the search result web page. Responsive to receiving the search query from a different unique identity not previously associated with the rich segment experience, other search results are presented without the rich segment experience on the search result web page.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Inventors: Aman SINGHAL, Marcelo Medeiros DE BARROS, Prithvishankar SRINIVASAN, Max ARTEMOV, Donald Frank BRINKMAN, JR.

Publication number: 20220043873Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods that provide a pipeline to generate personalized queries that are associated with and based on a user's interests determined from a user's past searches, on an Internet search engine, and/or the content the user viewed from the past searches. The suggested queries can be shown in a user interface component associated with the user interface of the search engine and before the user enters anything, such as a new Internet search. This pre-population of searches associated with a user's interests gives an opportunity to the user to try these queries without manually entering in a search string.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Marcelo Medeiros DE BARROS, Aman SINGHAL, Prithvishankar SRINIVASAN

Publication number: 20210248199Abstract: A search engine query can be received, along with contextual data encoding information about a context of the query. The query can be classified into a selected user interface profile of multiple available user interface profiles, with the classifying including applying a classification model to the contextual data. A visual structure generator can be selected using results of the classifying, and a search results page can be generated for the query. The generating of the search results page can include using the selected visual structure generator to impose a selected visual structure on the search results page, with the selected visual structure corresponding to the selected visual structure generator. The generated search results page can be returned in response to the receiving of the query.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Inventors: Saulo Santos, Manish Mittal, Abinash Sarangi, Prithvishankar Srinivasan, Hariharan Ragunathan, Rahul Lal, Aman Singhal, Marcelo Medeiros De Barros

Publication number: 20210064678Abstract: Mechanisms to personalize quick answers to a user are described. A query history is assembled from queries previously submitted by users. Each entry in the query history comprises a query, an associated quick answer, and the userID associated with the user that submitted the query. A query database is created by submitting the query of each query entry in the query history to a trained machine learning classifier to classify the query with an associated quick answer segment. The quick answer segment is combined with the other information in the query history to create an entry into a query database. When a current query is received from a user, the query database is searched and prior queries with the same quick answer segment from the same user are extracted. A subset of the resultant queries are combined with a subset of queries from other users to personalize the search results.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2019Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: Marcelo DE BARROS, Prithvishankar SRINIVASAN, Aman SINGHAL, Manish MITTAL

Publication number: 20210004420Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for post-ranking a ranked search result based on a personal affinity of a user. Issues on ranking a search result of information based on user-level optimization without breaking ranking of the search results based on global optimization functions are addressed by first ranking a search result based on the global optimization functions, followed by post-ranking the ranked search result based on a personal affinity of the user. The personal affinity may be determined based on a search history by the user as captured in a knowledge base. The post-ranking is performed on a limited scope by dividing the ranked search result into multiple portions and re-ranking entries within respective portions based on the personal affinity, for example, by boosting entries that matches the personal affinity to the top of the entries within the portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2019Publication date: January 7, 2021Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Manish MITTAL, Aman SINGHAL, Saulo SANTOS, Prithvishankar SRINIVASAN, Marcelo DE BARROS
