US 2020/0349181 A1 · CONTEXTUAL ESTIMATION OF LINK INFORMATION GAIN

Abstract

Techniques are described herein for determining an information gain score for one or more documents of interest to the user and present information from the documents based on the information gain score. An information gain score for a given document is indicative of additional information that is included in the document beyond information contained in documents that were previously viewed by the user. In some implementations, the information gain score may be determined for one or more documents by applying data from the documents across a machine learning model to generate an information gain score. Based on the information gain scores of a set of documents, the documents can be provided to the user in a manner that reflects the likely information gain that can be attained by the user if the user were to view the documents

Dependent claims

A method implemented using one or more processors, comprising:

identifying a first set of one or more documents that share a topic, wherein information extracted from each document of the first set was previously presented to a user, in response to free form natural language input from the user, by an automated assistant executing at least in part on one or more computing devices operated by the user;
identifying a second set of multiple new documents that also share the topic, wherein the automated assistant has not yet presented information contained in each new document of the second set for presentation to the user;
determining, for each new document of the second set, an information gain score, wherein the information gain score for a given new document of the second set is indicative of additional information that would be gained by the user, beyond the information extracted from the one or more document of the first set, if the information contained in the given new document were extracted and presented to the user;
selecting a new document from the second set based on the information gain scores;
and
presenting information extracted from the selected new document to the user via one or more of the computing devices.

3 more elements

A method implemented using one or more processors, comprising:

identifying a first set of one or more documents that share a topic, wherein each document of the first set was accessed by a user on one or more computing devices operated by the user;
identifying a second set of multiple new documents that also share the topic, wherein the user has not previously accessed the multiple new documents of the second set;
determining, for each new document of the second set, an information gain score, wherein the information gain score for a given new document of the second set is indicative of additional information that would be gained by the user, beyond information obtained by the user while accessing the first set of one or more documents, if the user accessed the given new document;
and
presenting information indicative of one or more of the new documents of the second set to the user via one or more of the computing devices, wherein the information indicative of one or more of the new documents of the second set is presented in a manner that is selected based on the information gain stores.

2 more elements

A system comprising one or more processors and memory operably coupled with the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores instructions that, in response to execution of the instructions by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the following operations:

identifying a first set of one or more documents that share a topic, wherein each document of the first set was accessed by a user on one or more computing devices operated by the user;
identifying a second set of multiple new documents that also share the topic, wherein the user has not previously accessed the multiple new documents of the second set;
determining, for each new document of the second set, an information gain score, wherein the information gain score for a given new document of the second set is indicative of additional information that would be gained by the user, beyond information obtained by the user while accessing the first set of one or more documents, if the user accessed the given new document;
selecting a new document from the second set based on the information gain scores;
and
presenting information indicative of one or more of the new documents of the second set to the user via one or more of the computing devices, wherein the information indicative of one or more of the new documents of the second set is presented in a manner that is selected based on the information gain stores.
