  • Patent number: 12159162
    Abstract: A computing device can obtain usage data associated with the device. The usage data indicate how the computing device operates or how the device is used. The device can analyze the usage data to recognize usage patterns. The usage patterns can correspond to recurring actions or tasks initiated by the user using the device, such as actions or tasks initiated due to the user's habits and/or routines. Based on the usage patterns, the device can determine a task that has a sufficient likelihood of being performed using the device within a specified or determined time (e.g., 5 minutes from now, one year from now, etc.). The device can provide information (e.g., recommendations) associated with the task, and likely relevant to the user. The user can use the provided information to perform the task, thereby increasing the ease of access or efficiency associated with performing the task.

  • Patent number: 12026232
    Abstract: Websites, having associated features, are clustered by filtering entries that may be legitimate, determining feature similarity scores between the website features, and generating an aggregated similarity matrix containing website similarity scores between the websites. Websites are clustered into clusters or groups, based in part on the aggregated similarity matrix. Each cluster is identified by a cluster identifier and represents a centroid website and other websites at a normalized similarity score from the centroid. It is determined for each website whether the normalized similarity score is less than a threshold, and if so is identified as weakly-similar. Above the threshold, the website is labelled with the cluster identifier. Further clustering and thresholding is performed on the weakly-similar websites into additional clusters.

    Abstract: A method of content production (e.g., content editing) using content modeling to facilitate content production. In one embodiment, an automated process is configured to render content. For a given content portion, and as the given portion is being rendered, the portion is processed to generate a content model. With respect to a concept expressed in or otherwise associated with the content, the system compares the content model with a target content derived model to generate a relevancy score. The target content derived model is generated by (a) identifying a set of target content portions in which the concept is expressed, (b) generating from each content portion an associated target content model; and (c) performing a vector operation on the associated target content models. Preferably, each associated target content model is built using an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based content analysis. The relevancy score is used to generate a content production recommendation.

  • Patent number: 11487839
    Abstract: A resource link engine may aggregate, from one or more communication services, data including a plurality of messages exchanged between a plurality of users. The resource link engine may compute, for each resource link included in the plurality of messages, a first relevance score of the resource link for a user and/or a second relevance score of the resource link for a group of users including the user. The resource link engine may identify, based on the first relevance score and/or the second relevance score, one or more resource links relevant to the user. In response to detecting the user interacting with a browser at a device, the resource link engine may provide, to the device, the resource links identified as being relevant to the user. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are provided.

  • Patent number: 11468052
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media related to generating a combined search query based on search parameters of a current search query of a user and search parameters of one or more previously submitted search quer(ies) of the user that are determined to be of the same line of inquiry as the current search query. Two or more search queries may be determined to share a line of inquiry when it is determined that they are within a threshold level of semantic similarity to one another. Once a shared line of inquiry has been identified and a combined search query generated, users may interact with the search parameters and/or the search results to update the search parameters of the combined search query.

  • Patent number: 11461305
    Abstract: A messaging system automatically populates a stream of messages using only a seed selected by the requesting account holder. In one embodiment, the seed includes the streams of one or more of the “top” accounts of the messaging system . Here, “top” is according to any one of a number of different metrics stored in the messaging system. With knowledge of the seed, the messaging system automatically populates a stream for the requesting account holder, without requiring any other input. As a result, an account holder is provided with a fully functioning stream with very little effort or knowledge required on their part.

  • Patent number: 11461687
    Abstract: A system includes a network interface configured to access an enterprise data warehouse and an enterprise abbreviation list that maps enterprise terms to abbreviations. A processing device can communicate with the network interface and a memory device that stores instructions to analyze the enterprise data warehouse to determine name attribute scores based on occurrences of the enterprise terms and the abbreviations in the enterprise data warehouse. Execution of the instructions can also generate a scoring summary of phrases, apply fuzzy reasoning logic to identify one or more relationship patterns and weights for the phrases including at least one shared word to produce training data for a data model associated with the enterprise data warehouse, and update the data model with a new abbreviated field name associated with a new field name based on identifying a closest match of the new field name with the training data.

  • Patent number: 11366844
    Abstract: A system to collect and store in a special data structure arranged for rapid searching massive amounts of data. Performance metric data is one example. The performance metric data is recorded in time-series measurements, converted into unicode, and arranged into a special data structure having one directory for every day which stores all the metric data collected that day. The performance metric data is collected by one or more probes running on machines about which data is being collected. The performance metric data is compressed prior to transmission to a server over any data path. The data structure at the server where analysis is done has a subdirectory for every resource type. Each subdirectory contains text files of performance metric data values measured for attributes in a group of attributes to which said text file is dedicated. Each attribute has its own section and the performance metric data values are recorded in time series as unicode hex numbers as a comma delimited list.
