A method performed by a computing system includes generating a to-do list user interface comprising a user actuatable list element corresponding to a particular entry on a to-do list associated with a user, and a user input mechanism actuatable to perform a to-do list management function comprising at least one of adding a new entry on the to-do list, deleting an existing entry on the to-do list, and modifying an existing entry on the to-do list. The method includes generating an agenda associated with the user, the agenda comprising an agenda item having an associated time period, and detecting a flick gesture on the user actuatable list element on the to-do list user interface, and adding, based on the detected flick gesture, an agenda item to the agenda associated with the user, the added agenda item corresponding to the particular entry on the to-do list.

User interface driven movement of data

Systems, methods, and software technology for enhancing calendars of interest is disclosed herein. In an implementation, a calendar of interest is added to an online calendar. The calendar of interest comprises a schedule of events and a rule set for adjusting the schedule of events. As the events occur in the online calendar, a record of participation by a user with respect to the events is identified. After each event has occurred, a determination is made whether to make an adjustment to the schedule of events based at least on the rule set for the calendar of interest and the record of participation by the user after the event. If so, the schedule of events is updated in the online calendar to reflect any adjustments.

Adjusting calendars of interest on a per-user basis

A server system suitable for generating calendar events based on guided hints is provided. The server system receives, from a device of a first user, an indication to create a calendar event. The server system derives, using natural language processing, guided hints for information for the calendar event, and causes presentation of the guided hints on a user interface displayed on the device of the first user. The server system receives the information in response to the guided hints presented on the device of the first user, and generates the calendar event based on the information.

Natural language event

A to-do list management system surfaces a user interface with a user input mechanism that displays a user actuatable element for each item on a user's to-do list. It senses a flick gesture and automatically moves a to-do list item to the user's agenda. It can also sense a user input gesture and automatically remove an agenda item from the user's agenda, and place it on the user's to-do list.

A method for generating a Bayesian network in a parallel manner is based on an initial model having a plurality of nodes. Each node corresponds to a variable of a data set and has a local distribution associated therewith. The method includes assigning a plurality of subsets of the nodes to a respective plurality of constructors. The plurality of constructors is operated in a parallel manner to identify edges to add between nodes in the initial model. The identified edges are added to the initial model to generate the Bayesian network. The edges indicate dependency between nodes connected by the edges.
