    Abstract: A technique for answering questions includes receiving a question directed to a first subject. A mathematical operation is performed between each of one or more first topic vectors (associated with the first subject) and each of one or more second topic vectors (associated with a second subject) to generate respective strength values. Relevant ones of the respective strength values are summed to provide an overall strength value, which is utilized to determine a semantic distance (SD) between the first subject and the second subject. In response to the SD being within a threshold distance value (TDV), information associated with the first subject and the second subject is utilized to answer the question. In response to the SD not being within the TDV, information associated with the first subject is utilized to answer the question.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to the sharing of synchronization information corresponding to content among devices in a communication network. An originating device collects synchronization information related to the presentation of content to a user via the originating device. The synchronization information is defined according to reference points related to the presentation of the content to the user via the originating device, including a current state of the presentation of the content and/or additional information obtained during the presentation of the content. Based on detection of a synchronization event, the originating device transmits the collected synchronization information, resulting in the receipt of the synchronization information by one or more receiving devices. Thereafter, the presentation of the content to the user on one of the receiving devices can incorporate the synchronization information collected and transmitted by the originating device.

  • Patent number: 11263391
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to facilitate annotation projects to extract structured information from free-form text using NLP techniques. Annotators explore text documents via automated preannotation functions, flexibly formulate annotation schemes and guidelines, annotate text, and adjust annotation labels, schemes and guidelines in real-time as a project evolves. NLP models are readily trained on iterative annotations of sample documents by domain experts in an active learning workflow. Trained models are then employed to automatically annotate a larger body of documents in a project dataset. Experts in a variety of domains can readily develop an annotation project for a specific use-case or business question. In one example, documents relating to the health care domain are effectively annotated and employed to train sophisticated NLP models that provide valuable insights regarding many facets of health care.

    Abstract: A media system stores immersive videos and embedded affordances for each immersive video. Each embedded affordance has a temporal range, a spatial location, and a corresponding reward. A viewer selects and plays a first immersive video. While playing the first stored immersive video, the viewer navigates to different spatial portions of the first immersive video using a spatial visibility window. The viewer activates a first embedded affordance of the first immersive video according to the spatial location and temporal range of the first embedded affordance. In response, the platform initiates the reward corresponding to the first embedded affordance. The reward includes a reward token deposited into an account corresponding to the viewer. The viewer later uses a redemption user interface to redeem a plurality of reward tokens from the account (including the deposited reward token) for a single aggregated reward.

  • Patent number: 10949472
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to linking documents using citations. A server accesses a stored document in a data repository. The server determines a set of candidate citing documents that cite the stored document. The server obtains, for each candidate citing document from the set, first information representing an impact of the candidate citing document taken as a whole and second information representing a citation context within the candidate citing document. The server determines a subset of citing documents, from the set of candidate citing documents, based on the obtained first information and the obtained second information. The server provides a digital transmission of the stored document, including visible indicia of the subset of citing documents, for display at a client device.

  • Patent number: 10915699
    Abstract: A document creation platform provides a user interface for creating electronic documents. In response to a first user input, the platform creates an electronic document with a plurality of clauses. In response to a second user input in a first clause, the platform designates a user-specified sequence of words in the first clause as a defined term. The platform also opens an addendum section of the electronic document to receive a user-specified definition of the term. In response to a third user input, the platform inserts the term into the electronic document in a second clause. The platform identifies a fourth user action at a location of the term in the electronic document, and in response: determines that the term has an associated definition; retrieves a current version of the definition from the addendum section; and displays the retrieved current version of the definition in a separate window.

  • Patent number: 10915748
    Abstract: A document source identification system includes one or more memory devices storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to receive uploaded document(s) having at least one extractable data entry. The system may categorize the document, and extract at least one data entry from the document. The system may normalize each extracted data entry and execute a deterministic ID search to determine that the normalized data entry matches zero, one, or more than one account data entries associated with user accounts. Responsive to an exact match, the system may link the uploaded document to a user account associated with the matching data entry. Responsive to zero or multiple matches, the system may execute a probabilistic ID search identifying a highest ranked user account data entry and link the document to a user account associated with the highest ranked user account data entry.
