Demonstration of CORNET: A System For Learning Spreadsheet Formatting Rules By Example

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Data management and analysis tasks are often carried out using spreadsheet software. A popular feature in most spreadsheet platforms is the ability to define data-dependent formatting rules. These rules can express actions such as "color red all entries in a column that are negative" or "bold all rows not containing error or failure." Unfortunately, users who want to exercise this functionality need to manually write these conditional formatting (CF) rules. We introduce CORNET, a system that automatically learns such conditional formatting rules from user examples. CORNET takes inspiration from inductive program synthesis and combines symbolic rule enumeration, based on semi-supervised clustering and iterative decision tree learning, with a neural ranker to produce accurate conditional formatting rules. In this demonstration, we show CORNET in action as a simple add-in to Microsoft Excel. After the user provides one or two formatted cells as examples, CORNET generates formatting rule suggestions for the user to apply to the spreadsheet.


Microsoft Copilot: Generative AI Adds An MBA To Your Day-To-Day

#artificialintelligence

Microsoft logo displayed on a phone screen and Copilot displayed on a screen are seen in this ... [ ] illustration photo taken in Krakow, Poland on March 16, 2023. Microsoft is adding Microsoft 365 Copilot into its office productivity applications. Who doesn't remember Mr. Scott in Star Trek 4: The Voyager Home sitting in front of a computer trying to speak with it via to come up with the transparent aluminum formula. Well, we aren't quite there yet but the momentum is definitely headed in that direction. As I alluded to in an earlier take, Microsoft is headed down the path of turning its every day users into power users coupled with offering them greater skills at a more rapid rate translating into productivity improvements.


A Guide On How To Become A Data Scientist - (Step By Step Approach)

#artificialintelligence

In this article, we will see the skills that one must acquire to become a data scientist. You cannot learn data science within one year or six months -- instead, it's a lifetime process that you have to follow with proper dedication and hard work. There are tons of resources and links out there, but often we get confused on which resources to follow. I have got you covered. I have attached the links to several Youtube channels, blogs, courses, and other websites, which I found appropriate for a beginner.


You don't code? Do machine learning straight from Microsoft Excel

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning and deep learning have become an important part of many applications we use every day. There are few domains that the fast expansion of machine learning hasn't touched. Many businesses have thrived by developing the right strategy to integrate machine learning algorithms into their operations and processes. Others have lost ground to competitors after ignoring the undeniable advances in artificial intelligence. But mastering machine learning is a difficult process.


Microsoft Excel: Build AI-like Chatbot & Dynamic Table

#artificialintelligence

Everyone can enroll in this course as step-by-step guide is provided. However, this course may not be right for advance Excel users, because we are going to complete the project together in the fastest and simplest way possible, by using common Excel functions and tricks. Thus, this course does not cover highly complex functions, VBA or coding***. If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, then this course may be right for you. Therefore, I would like to share my experience and tricks with you.


A New Basis for Spreadsheet Computing: Interval Solver for Microsoft Excel

AI Magazine

There is a fundamental mismatch between the computational basis of spreadsheets and our knowledge of the real world. In spreadsheets, numeric data are represented as exact numbers and their mutual relations as functions, whose values (output) are computed from given argument values (input). However, in the real world, data are often inexact and uncertain in many ways, and the relationships, that is, constraints, between input and output are far more complicated. This article shows that interval constraint solving, an emerging AI-based technology, provides a more versatile and useful foundation for spreadsheets. The new computational basis is 100-percent downward compatible with the traditional spreadsheet paradigm.

Microsoft Excel will now let you snap a picture of a spreadsheet and import it

#artificialintelligence

Microsoft is adding a very useful feature to its Excel mobile apps for iOS and Android. It allows Excel users to take a photo of a printed data table and convert it into a fully editable table in the app. This feature is rolling out initially in the Android Excel app, before making its way to iOS soon. Microsoft is using artificial intelligence to implement this feature, with image recognition so that Excel users don't have to manually input hardcopy data. The feature will be available to Microsoft 365 users.

Excelling at Microsoft Excel may not seem like an inherently sexy talent. But as with most things in life, headline-grabbing flash fades while rock-solid fundamentals are forever. Some of my fondest memories from my childhood are of endless battles and co-operative crusades in a range of 8-bit video games with my older brother and our neighbors. One of the best things about Android is how flexible its interface is: customizing your home screen to suit your usage habits and preferences only takes a few taps, and the possibilities are endless. The logo design industry is changing at a lightning-fast speed.


Microsoft Excel is about to get a lot smarter

#artificialintelligence

Your favorite spreadsheet is about to get a lot smarter, thanks to the help of machine learning and a better connection to the outside world. As Jared Spataro, Microsoft's general manager for Office, and Rob Howard, the company's director of Office 365 ecosystem marketing, showed me during a briefing at the company's Ignite conference today, Excel will soon be able to understand more about your inputs and then pull additional information from the internet as necessary. "We're pleased to introduce new data types," Spataro explained. "That doesn't sound all that interesting and we had this interesting discussion about what we'd name these things, but at the end of the day we realized that if you're really an Excel wonk, the thing that you're going to get is that there's new data types." In today's demo, Spataro showed me how you will soon be able to tag a list of company names as -- well -- company names, for example.
