  • Publication number: 20210374198
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods to generate, in real-time, copy suggestions for a directed content for interactive design operations of copy. A generative deep learning model encodes content of the website into an embedded form with context of the content. The model decodes the encoded form of the content based on the user input to generate copy suggestions. Used in conjunction with an interactive copy design client, the present disclosure interactively receives user input to iteratively modify the copy suggestions in real-time while validating a quality of the copy suggestions. The real-time, interactive design of copy for the directed content improves timing, accuracy, and productivity of the design operations.

  • Patent number: 11113732
    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein for assisting an administrative user in generating negative feature information. The negative feature information, which includes a list of negative features (e.g., negative keywords), defines when queries submitted by end users are expressly disqualified as matching one or more parts of an identified web resource. The technique then automatically assesses the manner in which the negative feature information conflicts with matching between the queries submitted by end users and positive trigger information associated with the web resource, to provide conflict output information. The technique then modifies the negative feature information based on the conflict output information, e.g., by eliminating one or more negative keywords that contribute to conflicts.

  • Publication number: 20170054599
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for managing technology resources across multiple platforms. Embodiments of the invention can be used to manage the configuration of a plurality of different devices. A management server/service can utilize native management capabilities of different devices to provide configuration management without requiring agents to be installed on the devices. In general, the management server/service adapts to the unique characteristics and behaviors of different devices, platforms, and external systems to provide configuration management for the different devices, platforms, and external systems. As such, configuration management can be provided in a unified fashion across different platforms, both on-premise and off-premise, and indirectly. When client agents are present, the management server/service can adjust to compatibly operate with the client agents.

  • Patent number: 7606937
    Abstract: Registering a client with a distributed service. A method may be practiced, for example, in a network computing environment including a client at a local site and a number of distributed services at a number of remote sites. The method includes pinging one or more distributed services at one or more remote sites. A message is received from a distributed service from among the one or more distributed services. The message specifies an optimal remote site. The method further includes registering with a distributed service at the optimal remote site.
