Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods automatically generate and provide an interactive rich set of personalized query suggestions within a unified framework. The disclosed systems and methods are able to integrate attributes associated with message data and metadata by transforming such attributes into facets that are combined with term suggestions and presented to the user in a unified manner. The instant disclosure provides an interactive search suggestion mechanism that narrows the search as the user interacts with the dynamically generated and provided suggestions.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor of a computing device receives a query. The computing device may compare a centroid of each of a plurality of clusters to the query such that a subset of the plurality of clusters is selected, each of the plurality of clusters having a set of data points. An assignment of the subset of the plurality of clusters may be communicated to a hardware accelerator of the computing device. A plurality of threads of the hardware accelerator of the computing device may generate one or more distance tables that store results of intermediate computations corresponding to the query and the subset of the plurality of clusters. The distance tables may be stored in shared memory of the hardware accelerator. A plurality of threads of the hardware accelerator may determine a plurality of data points using the distance tables. The processor may provide query results pertaining to at least a portion of the plurality of data points.

Abstract: Relevant messages, or “hero results”, which are not ranked at the uppermost part of a time-based listing of search results are identified and such hero results can be displayed apart from the time-based listing of search results. A user can be provided with messages in a time-based presentation as well as messages in a relevance-based presentation. The user can be presented with the most relevant messages from a set of message generated from a search query, even where the most relevant messages are not the most recent ones.
