An electronic device displays a view of a lower portion of a first column from a document. The document includes at least a first column and a second column. A first user input gesture is received by the electronic device. In response to detecting the first user input gesture, the electronic device displays an animated transition from the view of the lower portion of the first column to a view of an upper portion of the second column.

Column fit document traversal for reader application

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a mobile or computer reader application that obtains articles or other computer files from a central database and displays the articles to a user of the device. The reader application may be customizable around one or more characteristics of the user of the device. In one embodiment, the type and number of articles provided to the device and displayed in the reader application may be based on the determination of a category or type of usage of the application is performed by the user. Further, the determination of the use of the reader application on the device is performed by and contained within the device such that usage information is not shared with overall article providing system. In another embodiment, the article providing system and/or device may determine recommendations to provide to a user of the reading application. These recommendations may be based on one or more selected interests or topics of the user of the reading application.

Reader application with a personalized feed and method of providing recommendations while maintaining user privacy

Aspects of the present disclosure may involve a computer implemented method of disambiguating a string from an article involving an electronic device including one or more hardware processing units, and accessing a disambiguation database comprising a plurality of string-entity combinations and associated metrics for each of the plurality of string-entity combinations. The associated metrics may include a metric associated with an arrival probability of linking at a web page for a particular entity after a specified number of links from a starting page. The method may involve generating a clique graph for each candidate entity of the article, and generating a probability that a particular candidate entity matches a particular string associated with the particular candidate entity as a function of score attributes generated from the clique graph and the arrival probability of linking at the page for the particular entity after the specified number of links.

Apparatus, system and method for string disambiguation and entity ranking

An application interface is provided that allows a user to interact with a work space. The application interface may include a defined display area that includes one or more discrete works spaces. In one implementation a user interaction with the defined display area, such as an overscroll interaction, results in the defined display area being modified, such as to include additional or fewer discrete work spaces.
