Abstract

A system and method for summarizing suggested content and sharing the summarized suggested content is described. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method includes performing an analysis of text of a document, searching a document library for content elements and documents based on the analysis of the text, identifying candidate documents and candidate content based on the searching, presenting a list of candidate documents or candidate content with the document authoring application, receiving a selection of a candidate document or candidate content from the list in the document authoring application, and providing the selected candidate document to a collaborative content sharing platform, the collaborative content sharing platform configured to generate a graphical user interface that displays a list of shared documents, the shared documents includes candidate documents selected by one or more users of a group of users that share access to the collaborative content sharing platform.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
performing an analysis of text of a document being authored by a user with a document authoring application;
searching a document library for content elements and documents based on the analysis of the text;
identifying candidate documents and candidate content based on the searching;
presenting a list of candidate documents or candidate content with the document authoring application;
receiving a selection of a candidate document or candidate content from the list in the document authoring application; and
providing the selected candidate document to a collaborative content sharing platform, the collaborative content sharing platform configured to generate a graphical user interface that displays a list of shared documents, the shared documents comprising candidate documents selected by one or more users of a group of users that share access to the collaborative content sharing platform.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a summary of each shared document in the list; and
presenting the summary of each shared document in the graphical user interface of the collaborative content sharing platform.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a feedback for a shared document in the list from one or more users of the group, the feedback indicating an up-vote or a down-vote of the candidate document;
adjusting a ranking of the shared document in the list based on the feedback; and
adjusting an order of the shared documents in the list based on corresponding ranking.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface indicates a plurality of sub-lists categorized by a type of document or by user sharing a suggested content.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a suggestion indicator in a graphical user interface generated by the document authoring application in response to identifying the candidate documents and candidate content based on the searching;
detecting a selection of the suggestion indicator by the user of the document authoring application; and
presenting a list of candidate documents or candidate content in response to detecting the selection.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein performing the analysis of text of the document comprises:
identifying the last predefined number of words or phrases authored in the document by the user; and
analyzing the last predefined number of words or phrases as the document is being authored by the user.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the candidate content comprises a dynamic element that is updated near real-time based on changes to the dynamic element by other users having access to the dynamic element.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a user profile of a user operating the document authoring application; and
training a machine learning model based on the user profile and the pattern of events from the document authoring application.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the user profile of the user indicates an enterprise profile of the user, collaborators of the user, a group within an enterprise to which the user belongs, an operating system of the client device, and a time and day of the document authoring application activities of the user.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
training a machine learning model based on the pattern of events from the document authoring application.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the pattern of events comprises:
features values of the document present in the document authoring application;
feature values of the first candidate document selected by the user; and
feature values of a second candidate document not selected by the user.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
computing the relevance score for each candidate document in the document library based on the machine learning model,
the relevance score for each candidate document being indicative of a relevance of each candidate document to the document present in the document authoring application.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising:
ranking each candidate document based on their corresponding relevance score; and
identifying top candidate documents from the ranked candidate documents, the set of candidate documents including the top candidate documents.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying relevant content from the set of candidate documents, the relevant content being pertinent to the content in the document present in the document authoring application,
wherein providing the set of candidate documents in the user interface element of the document authoring application further comprises: identifying the relevant content from the set of candidate documents in the user interface element of the document authoring application.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the document library includes documents authored, read, edited, and shared by the user of the document authoring application, and documents shared to or from the user.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the relevance score is based on a current document feature inputs and candidate document feature inputs,
the user document feature inputs comprising a filename, a title, and a preset character neighborhood around an insertion point in the document present in the document authoring application, and
the candidate document feature inputs comprising a filename, a title, and a summary of a corresponding candidate document.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
causing a display of a first user interface element of the document authoring application adjacent to a second user interface element of the document authoring application in response to receiving the request,
the first user interface element comprising the document being formed by the document authoring application,
the second user interface element comprising one or more candidate documents from the set of candidate documents.

18. A computing apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:
perform an analysis of text of a document being authored by a user with a document authoring application;
search a document library for content elements and documents based on the analysis of the text;
identify candidate documents and candidate content based on the searching;
present a list of candidate documents or candidate content with the document authoring application;
receive a selection of a candidate document or candidate content from the list in the document authoring application; and
provide the selected candidate document to a collaborative content sharing platform, the collaborative content sharing platform configured to generate a graphical user interface that displays a list of shared documents, the shared documents comprising candidate documents selected by one or more users of a group of users that share access to the collaborative content sharing platform.

19. The computing apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the candidate content comprises a dynamic element that is updated near real-t
