  • Patent number: 12051100
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for training and/or inferencing using a list ordering model. A list ordering model, such as a Markov chain, may be trained using a plurality of lists with location metadata in common, wherein a first list of the plurality comprises items and corresponding competition timestamps. A list ordering model may accept, as an input, a plurality of items, and determine, as an output, an order for the plurality of items. Recommendations may be generated based on the determined order.

  • Patent number: 12026482
    Abstract: How to correctly understand natural language query and catch the useful information from it is a long-standing research question in the chatbot field. However, in many cases only a small set of words are sufficient for closed-domain tasks. In this paper, we propose Minimal Dictionary Language (MDL): a simple language architecture which allows users to express their needs through certain basic syntax. For the pilot study, we selected Enron email open dataset[2] for our experimental use and apply MDL as the language for email retrieval task. We also built a front-end search interface by Python Flask and Vue.js for test and evaluation purposes.

  • Patent number: 11431838
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for interacting with item lists via lock screen notifications. In at least one embodiment, a user performs a computer-based action on a notification that is accessible to a user while a device is in a locked state and the computer-based action is used to perform an operation supported by an item list, without requiring the user to perform an authentication and/or authorization to unlock the device.
