Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining a similarity of components of a current user interface (UI) to new UI components for use in automatically generating a new UI. A computer system may receive information specifying a current UI including a particular current UI component and information specifying a plurality of new UI components for a new UI. The computer system may then identify characteristics of the particular current UI component. Based on these identified characteristics, the computer system may score ones of the plurality of new UI components, where the scoring is performed to determine a similarity to the particular current UI component. The computer system may then select, based on the scores, a particular new UI component from the plurality of new UI components for use, in the new UI, for the particular current UI component. Such techniques may advantageously improve user experience by automatically providing up-to-date user interfaces.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to measuring presentation aspects of portions of a user interface (UI) that have been identified to be presented neutrally and automatically generating a new UI that reduces differences in the presentation aspects of the identified portions. Portions of the UI identified to be presented neutrally may include elements or content in the UI identified to be presented neutrally. Portions for neutral presentation may include portions of UI that, for example, portions that present legal decisions, portions with survey data, forms or information displays, or portions where a user is requested to make a choice between alternative options. Presentation aspects that may be measured include, for example, visual aspects, clarity aspects, or tonal aspects. Reducing the differences in the presentation aspects may present the elements or content with more neutrality to reduce influence in decisions due to visual, clarity, or tonal aspects between the elements or content.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining locations of child elements in a user interface (UI), automatically updating the locations of the child elements in the UI, and generating an updated UI with the updated locations. A computer system may receive information specifying content of the UI and render an image of the UI based on the received information. Computer vision algorithms may be applied to the rendered of the UI to determine locations of elements in the UI. The locations of the elements may be updated to position the elements in selected locations relative to each other. The updated locations of the elements as determined by the computer vision algorithms may be implemented to generate updating information specifying content for the updated UI.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to automatically synthesizing user interface (UI) component instances. In disclosed techniques a computer system receives a set of existing UI elements and a set of design rules for the set of existing elements, where design rules in the set of design rules indicate one or more allowed states for respective UI elements in the set of existing UI elements. The one or more allowed states may correspond to one or more visual characteristics. Using the set of existing UI elements, the computer system may then automatically generate a plurality of UI component instances based on the set of design rules, where a respective UI component instance includes a first UI element in a first allowed state. The computer system may then train, using the plurality of UI component instances, a machine learning model operable to automatically generate UI designs.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for determining a user-preferred attribute type. An embodiment operates by maintaining user-presented attributes associated with user-presented records, wherein the user-presented attributes comprise one or more user-presented attribute types. After receiving a user-desired attribute of the user-presented attributes, a user-preferred attribute type of the user-presented attribute types is determined based on the user-presented attributes and the user-desired attribute. Thereafter, a new record and associated attribute are to be presented with the new attribute being of the user-preferred type.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to rapidly logging sales activities in a customer relationship management system. It also relates to simplifying logging of sale activities by offering a streamlined data entry path that as immense usability in a mobile environment. The streamlined data entry path can be completed by triple-action, double-action, or single-action. In particular, the technology disclosed relates to automatically identifying and selecting entities that are most likely to be selected by a user. The identification of entities as most likely to be selected is dependent at least upon access recency of records of the entities, imminence of events linked to the entities, and geographic proximities of the entities to the user. It further relates to automatically identifying and selecting sales activities that are most likely to be performed by the user.
