A computer-implemented method for multi-modal interaction with structured web page data includes automatically injecting event monitoring code into a web page. One or more event streams generated by the injected event monitoring code are received. A request to perform an operation on data displayed on the web page is received from a user. A command is generated that has one or more parameters based at least in part on one or more mappings between the received request and the received one or more event streams. The command to fulfil the received request is executed by interacting with the web page.

Using natural language to control structured web page data

Human speech signals that are uttered within an environment are transcribed; the environment includes one or more avatars representing one or more software agents; the human speech signals are directed to at least one of the avatars. At least one non-speech behavioral trace is obtained within the environment; the trace is representative of non-speech behavior directed to the at least one of the avatars. The transcribed human speech signals and the at least one non-speech behavioral trace are forwarded to the one or more software agents. A proposed act is obtained from at least one of the agents; responsive thereto, a command is issued to cause the avatar corresponding to the software agent from which the proposed act is obtained to emit synthesized speech and to act visually in accordance with the proposed act.

A method and system for filtering a candidate document in a candidate document set are provided. The method includes receiving one or more entity word&#x2014;topic word pairs and identifying one or more entity words of the candidate document and topic words. The method also includes determining whether to add the candidate document into a filtered document set using the entity words and topic words in the given entity word&#x2014;topic word pairs and the identified entity words and topic words in the candidate document. The method further includes adding the candidate document into a filtered document set in response to determining that the candidate document should be added into the filtered document set.

Document processing method and system

A method and system for expanding a document set as a search data source in the field of business related search. The present invention provides a method of expanding a seed document in a seed document set. The method includes identifying one or more entity words of the seed document; identifying one or more topic words identifying one or more topic words related to a based entity word in the seed document where the entity word is located; forming an entity word-topic word pair from each identified topic word and the entity word on the basis of which each topic word is identified; and obtaining one or more expanded documents by taking the entity word and topic word in each entity word-topic word pair as key words for web searching at the same time. A system for executing the above method is also provided.

A system, a method and a computer program product for managing activities in project management. The system includes an activity sensor for collecting activity data from user inputs and event logs; a model builder for creating a project model by integrating said activity data with project tasks; and a central repository for storing the project model created by said model builder. The method includes steps for collecting activity data from user inputs and event logs; creating a project model by integrating said activity data with project tasks; and storing the created project model. Accordingly, the project manager can track various activities that occurred during the project and team members can share information and knowledge.

A method for generating 3D carousel visualization of large-scale tree data, which comprises the steps of: receiving a user's selection of a node in the carousel; according to the radius of a sub-carousel corresponding to the user-selected node and the radius of a carousel at which the selected node is located, judging whether or not the sub-carousel can be expanded at the carousel at which the selected node is located; expanding the sub-carousel at the carousel at which the selected node is located, if it is determined that the sub-carousel can be expanded at the carousel at which the selected node is located. A device capable of implementing the method is provided. The number of carousel levels visualized on a visualization device can be adjusted dynamically, and the visualization of a focus becomes more prominent, and relationships between nodes at each level of the tree data visualization get more apparent.

Method and apparatus for generating 3D carousel tree data visualization and related device

A method is provided for automatically applying named styles to existing documents including word processing documents. The existing document is scanned and parsed into style regions of uniform style. The style attributes of each uniform style region are identified, and these identified style attributes are used to create style groups containing style regions having identical or substantially identical style attributes. These style attributes can be expressed in set or vector form. Named styles are then associated with the identified style group by either comparing the style attributes of a given style group to the attributes of a pre-defined named style or by extracting a named style from the style group. Once associated with a named style, the style regions within a given style group can be modified to be consistent with the named style associated with the style group. In addition, subsequent changes to the style attributes in a given style region are made by changing the attributes of the named style associated with the style group containing that style region.
