One example is a system including a plurality of summarization engines, an evaluator, and a selector. Each of the plurality of summarization engines receives content to provide a summary of the content. The evaluator determines a value of each summary for a selected task. The selector selects a summarization engine for the selected task based on the assessed value of each summary.

Determining an optimized summarizer architecture for a selected task

Examples herein disclose multiple engines to produce output representative of a summary of document produced by each of the multiple engines. The examples apply a weighting mechanism to the output specific to that engine to obtain a value corresponding to that output. The examples identify specialized language if the value corresponding to that output reaches at least a particular threshold.

Specialized language identification

A counterfeit identification performance attribute (SIPA) sensitivity to changes in resolution of the image for features of an image is determined. The CIPA sensitivity for the features is used to choose at least one feature to determine whether the image on a sample is a counterfeit.

Feature resolutions sensitivity for counterfeit determinations

An example apparatus may include a processor and a memory device including computer program code. The memory device and the computer program code may, with the processor, cause the apparatus to receive serialization codes for a first entity in a serialization flow; compare serialization codes for the first entity to serialization codes for a second entity, the second entity being either upstream or downstream of the first entity in the serialization flow; and validating the serialization codes from the first entity by determining if the serialization codes for the first entity are compatible with the serialization codes for the second entity in the serialization flow.

Validation in serialization flow

Systems and methods for adapting an incremental information object (IIO) to accommodate a change in a workflow are provided. A method includes analyzing an IIO, wherein the IIO comprises a plurality of tiles, and wherein the plurality of tiles comprise a code. The code is confirmed and, if the confirmation is successful, a determination is made as to whether the workflow has changed. If the workflow has changed the IIO is modified to change the information density of the IIO, a new code comprising a bitstream is generated, and the bitstream is overwritten on the plurality of tiles.

Adapting an incremental information object

In various disclosed examples, an identifier is selected from a first set of identifiers, the selected identifier having a representation of at least two different characters. An indication of a difference between the representation of the selected identifier and representations of one or more identifiers from a second set of identifiers is calculated, and the selected identifier is determined to be an eligible identifier if the indication of the difference satisfies a threshold criteria.

A system for generating an incrementally completed security mark includes a computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program. The computer program includes computer readable code for selecting a carrier object; computer readable code for selecting a number of steps in a workflow associated with the carrier object and a security level for each step in the workflow; computer readable code for determining available carrier object candidate areas to which to write information at each step in the workflow; and computer readable code for determining a number of bits to be input at each step in the workflow based upon the respective security levels and the available candidate areas. The system further includes memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory and to the computer-readable medium.

System for generating an incrementally completed security mark

A counterfeit identification performance attribute (CIPA) sensitivity to changes in resolution of the image for features of an image is determined (). The CIPA sensitivity for the features is used to choose at least one feature to determine whether the image on a sample is a counterfeit ().

An image analyzer () aggregates image samples () into a cluster () based on the image samples () being classified from a subset of image metrics applied to a reference sample (). The image analyzer () generates an image quality output () by analyzing a distance () from the cluster () relative to another cluster.

Distance-based image analysis

A method and apparatus for encoding, in a simultaneous multiple security application, independently encrypted security data elements within a single matrix of blocks in a progressive barcode. The method and apparatus including, encoding information of a first data element within the matrix using black modules and, encoding information of a second data element within the matrix using color modules. The barcode being configured to be overprinted as it progresses through progressive states. The progressive barcode, resulting from the overprinting through the progressive states, masking the ability to conclusively determine the barcode in a previous state.

Systems and methods for generating a grayscale incremental information object (IIO) are provided. A method includes analyzing a grayscale IIO to determine a first code, wherein the grayscale IIO comprises a plurality of tiles, and the intensity of a tile corresponds to the number of data bits written to the tile. The product is confirmed from the first code, and, if the product is confirmed a new code comprising a bitstream is generated. The bitstream is overwritten on the grayscale IIO. The grayscale IIO is the same size after writing of the bitstream.

Grayscale incremental information object

An example apparatus may include a processor and a memory device including computer program code. The memory device and the computer program code may, with the processor, cause the apparatus to provide modified serialization codes for a first entity in a serialization flow to replace existing serialization codes for the first entity. In various examples, the modified serialization codes may have a representation of at least two different characters, and a number of instances of one of the characters in the representation of the modified serialization codes may be different from a number of instances of the one of the characters in the representation of the existing serialization codes. The memory device and the computer program code may further cause the apparatus to receive serialization codes from a second entity, the second entity being downstream in the serialization flow from the first entity; compare serialization codes from the second entity with the modified serialization codes; and verify the serialization codes from the second entity by determining if the serialization codes from the second entity are compatible with the modified serialization codes.

The computer program includes computer readable code for selecting a carrier object (&#x2032;&#x2033;); computer readable code for selecting a number of steps in a workflow associated with the carrier object (&#x2032;&#x2033;) and a security level for each step in the workflow; computer readable code for determining available carrier object candidate areas (T, T, T, T, T) to which to write information at each step in the workflow; and computer readable code for determining a number of bits to be input at each step in the workflow based upon the respective security levels and the available candidate areas (T, T, T, T, T).
