Publication number: 20250182763Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to systems, methods, and computer readable media for providing improved insights and annotations to enhance recorded audio, video, and/or written transcriptions of testimony. For example, in some embodiments, a method is disclosed for correlating non-verbal cues recognized from an audio and/or video recording of testimony to the corresponding testimony transcript locations. In other embodiments, a method is disclosed for providing testimony-specific artificial intelligence-based insights and annotations to a testimony transcript, e.g., based on the use of machine learning, natural language processing, and/or other techniques. In still other embodiments, a method is disclosed for providing smart citations to a testimony transcript, e.g., which track the location of semantic constructs within the transcript over the course of various modifications being made to the transcript.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2025Publication date: June 5, 2025Applicant: Magna Legal Services, LLCInventors: Robert ACKERMAN, Anthony J.

Publication number: 20250036639Abstract: Described herein is a technique for surfacing content for users of a connection network application. The technique involves performing a first query to fetch recently-impressed items viewed by a user of the connection network application and, concurrently with the first query, performing a second query of search nodes to generate a set of search node results. The technique allows for filtering the recently-impressed items from the set of search node results to generate a candidate set and applying a freshness factor to the candidate set. Updates are provided to a user display, based on results of applying the freshness factor to the candidate set.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Madhulekha Arunmozhi, Ian Robert Ackerman, Birjodh Singh Tiwana, Sarah Yan Xing

Patent number: 11423104Abstract: Systems and techniques for a transfer model learning for relevance models are described herein. In an example, a system for member relevance prediction is adapted to collect a first data set of member interactions with the online service that occur on a first platform and train a first model using the first data set. The system for member relevance prediction may collect a second data set of member interactions with the online service that occur on a second platform. The system for member relevance prediction may predict a third data set related to member interactions using the first model and aggregate the first data set, the second data set, and the third data set. The system for member relevance prediction may train a second model for the second platform using the aggregated platform data and predict for the second platform, using the second model, online service items for the member.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Manas Haribhai Somaiya, Mohit Rajkumar Kothari, Ian Robert Ackerman, Yuan Shao
