  • Patent number: 11856474
    Abstract: Techniques for providing proximity based messages are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include one or more servers configured to receive proximity message requests from a consumer device. The requests may include consumer device locations, which may be used by the one or more servers to generate a geofence set. Furthermore, the consumer device location may be used as a basis for selecting notification data relevant to the location. Both the geofence set and the notification data may be sent to the consumer device in a single proximity message response for local notification creation if the notification data can be collected within a maximum response time. The notification data may be provided via a push notification server asynchronously if the notification data cannot be collected within the maximum response time.

  • Patent number: 11829365
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a data monitoring system that monitors the operations of a data pipeline. The data monitoring system receives a call from the data pipeline to ingest unprocessed data. The data monitoring system generates metadata based on the unprocessed data and responsively computes expected data outputs. The data monitoring system receives a call from the data pipeline to ingest processed data that comprises actual data outputs generated by the data pipeline. The data monitoring system generates output metadata based on the processed data. The data monitoring system compares the metadata for the expected data outputs with the output metadata for the actual data outputs and determines when the expected data outputs do not align with the actual data outputs. When the expected data outputs do not align with the actual data outputs, the data monitoring system generates and transfers an alert signifying the non-alignment.

A query (e.g., SQL query) is received. If a materialized view is present, and if such a materialized view was generated within the designated time frame, then the query is translated to query a materialized view. The translated query is then sent to a first data storage database of the data warehouse storing materialized views to be processed to obtain the materialized object associated with the query. If, on the other hand, the materialized view is not present, or the materialized view is present but has not been generated within the designated time frame, then the query is sent to the second data storage database of the data warehouse storing the original data without any modification to retrieve and report the appropriate information from the second data storage database.

Initially, a first segmentation such as a default segmentation is displayed (e.g., as interactive tiles in a finder interface, as a video timeline in an editor interface), and the default segmentation is re-segmented in response to a user query. The query can take the form of a keyword and one or more selected facets in a category of detected features. Keywords are searched for detected transcript words, detected object or action tags, or detected audio event tags that match the keywords. Selected facets are searched for detected instances of the selected facets. Each video segment that matches the query is re-segmented by solving a shortest path problem through a graph that models different segmentation options.

    Abstract: A user interface (UI) enhancement system modifies a computer user interface based on user interactions recorded over time. The UI enhancement system records user interactions and develops a corresponding heat map. The heat map represents frequencies of user actions such as links clicked, scrolling actions, buttons selected, jumps within a page, etc. Based on the heat map, the UI enhancement system modifies a user interface configuration file which in turn influences the appearance and/or behavior of elements within the user interface to improve the user experience. Some embodiments give greater prominence to a UI element associated with greater “heat” and less prominence to an element with less “heat”.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for disambiguating a voice search query that contains a command keyword by determining whether the user spoke a quotation from a content item and whether the user mimicked or approximated the way the quotation is spoken in the content item. The voice search query is transcribed into a string, and an audio signature of the voice search query is identified. Metadata of a quotation matching the string is retrieved from a database that includes audio signature information for the string as spoken within the content item. The audio signature of the voice search query is compared with the audio signature information in the metadata to determine whether the audio signature matches the audio signature information in the quotation metadata. If a match is detected, then a search result comprising an identifier of the content item from which the quotation comes is generated.

    Abstract: Various aspects describe an information platform for consistently integrating and/or quantifying the underlying principles of ESG into financial analyses, analytical tools, metrics, and/or available information on reviewed companies, business entities, etc. . . . , and further provide integration of analysis with community-based insight, contextual information and tools for readily understanding both. Various embodiments implement machine learning tools for curating data sources and incorporating the data sources into the knowledge platform. The incorporation of AI moderated information sources enables succinct views of often massive information pools, and further provides for transitions between types of information (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, and interactive data source (e.g., engagements, collaborative information, etc.)).

  • Patent number: 11783611
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, machine learning is used to intelligently compress documents to reduce the overall footprint of storing large amounts of files for an organization. Specifically, a document is split into parts, with each part representing a grouping of text or an image. Optical character recognition is performed to identify the text in images. Machine learning techniques are then applied to a part of a document in order to determine how relevant the document is for the organization. The parts that are deemed to be not relevant may then be reduced in size, either by omitting them completely or by summarizing them. This allows for the compression to be tailored specifically to the organization, resulting in the ability to compress or eliminate parts of documents that other organizations might have found relevant (and thus would not have been compressed or eliminated through traditional means).

  • Patent number: 11775573
    Abstract: There is provided a method and a server for retraining a machine learning algorithm (MLA), the MLA having been trained to classify documents based on features thereof. A resource having a plurality of content items submitted by users is accessed. At least one content item associated with a document having been presented as a search result by a search engine server in response to a search query is identified. The at least one content item is analyzed based on a set of features to determine if the document has been misclassified by the MLA in response to the search query. In response to determining that the document has been misclassified, a training object is generated based on the misclassified document. Other misclassified documents are identified in a similar manner to obtain a set of training objects. The MLA is then retrained based on the set of training objects.

  • Patent number: 11769048
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a single machine learned model that allows for ranking of entities across all of the different combinations of node types and edge types is provided. The solution calibrates the scores from Edge-FPR models to a single scale. Additionally, the solution may utilize a per-edge type multiplicative factor dictated by the true importance of an edge type, which is learned through a counterfactual experimentation process. The solution may additionally optimize on a single, common downstream metric, specifically downstream interactions that can be compared against each other across all combinations of node types and edge types.
