摘要:
A text span forming either a single word or a series of two or more words that a user intended to select is predicted. A document and a location pointer that indicates a particular location in the document are received and input to different candidate text span generation methods. A ranked list of one or more scored candidate text spans is received from each of the different candidate text span generation methods. A machine-learned ensemble model is used to re-score each of the scored candidate text spans that is received from each of the different candidate text span generation methods. The ensemble model is trained using a machine learning method and features from a dataset of true intended user text span selections. A ranked list of re-scored candidate text spans is received from the ensemble model.

An assisted content authoring productivity tool can provide a set of content related to at least one topic determined from a user's expression of intent. The content can include topics that are not obviously related to the user's topic, but identified from indirect cluster connections found in a graph model of information such as, but not limited to, an online encyclopedia like Wikipedia. A document can be populated with topic anchors so a user can return to or have generated a set of content related to a particular topic. The topic anchor can include a graphical user interface including a topic exploration object that, when selected, initiates a command to request information related to that topic.

Documents can be deconstructed into component blocks for reuse in productivity applications using a document shredder. The document shredder can identify specific objects within a source document that are likely to be reused, replicate the objects, and store the objects, or component blocks, separate from the source document. The productivity application can access the objects and present these objects to a user of the productivity application for easy insertion into the user's document. The component blocks, or identified relevant objects can be from document sources of previously generated content from a same or different author than the user of a productivity application.
摘要:
Techniques that facilitate the accomplishment of tasks within applications are presented. An intent-based user experience is available through receiving a natural language statement of intent from a user regarding use of an application, such as a productivity application. The graphical user interface for the user can be configured and reconfigured based on the user's intent; thus creating a task-oriented user interface. The user's intent can be determined through classifying and/or mapping the natural language statement of intent to particular tasks, which can then be associated with one or more tools and information that can be used to accomplish the tasks. The one or more tools and information can be surfaced to the user in the graphical user interface.
摘要:
A system for reuse of content within documents can include storage media on which a document graph is stored, and labeler software that, when executed by a processing system, directs the processing system to at least: aggregate, for a window of time, a plurality of actions carried out by a user on content associated with a document within a productivity application; normalize the plurality of actions into at least one predefined action class; determine a label of the user in relation to the document or a portion of the content associated with the document based on the at least one predefined action class; and store the label associated with the user and the document or the portion of the content in a document graph. A search of the document graph for reusable content can then be directed to related content associated with a user having a particular label.
摘要:
A method of automatically augmenting content through augmentation services can include invoking a service to receive an entity determination based on the content and an entity container comprising an object of the content and one or more attributes of the object. The entity determination and corresponding entity container can be assigned as a marker to content being clipped. The marker can be used to enable access and actions that can be taken with respect to the clipping or the structured information augmenting the clipping.
摘要:
An assisted content authoring productivity tool can provide a set of structured content related to at least one topic determined from a user's expression of intent. Additional information can be obtained about a selected result from the set of structured content through the assisted content authoring productivity tool by using the set of structured content as context for the further search. An item from the set of structured content can be inserted into a document in a content authoring surface of a content authoring application. The insertion may be carried out cross-device. Topics for the search of structured content can be determined using the user's expression of intent and, once available, the context can include the results of previous searches for the structured content related to at least one topic determined from the user's expression of intent. Each additional search results may provide further context in a recursive manner.
摘要:
Techniques and systems for facilitating contextual information lookup and navigation are presented. Contextually relevant information can be presented without requiring a user to switch context or craft a search query. From within an application in which a user may consume or create content, a user may indicate text for further exploration. The application can receive the indication of an initial text selection, determine the intended selection and provide contextual search results to the user. In some implementations, the initial selection and a selection context (that includes at least some of the text surrounding the initial selection) is sent to a contextual search service which provides the intended selection and contextual search results based on the initial selection and selection context. In other implementations, text may be suggested by the contextual search service for selection from within the application.
