A method for one or more processors to select a plurality of documents. The one or more processors calculate a similarity between pairs of pages of respective documents of the plurality of documents. The one or more processors determine a document similarity value of the respective documents of the plurality of documents, based on a quantity of the pairs of pages of the respective document with a similarity calculated to be less than a predetermined threshold, and the one or more processors present the plurality of documents in a descending order, based on the document similarity value of the respective documents of the plurality of documents.

Ordering presentation of training documents for machine learning

A mechanism is provided to implement a summarization mechanism for summarizing an identified natural language document using hyperbolic embeddings. Responsive to receiving a query from a user for a summarization of the identified natural language document, the summarization mechanism produces a hyperbolic embedding model of embeddings of the query. The summarization mechanism compares the embeddings of the query to each of a set of embeddings associated with a set of sentences of the identified natural language document. Responsive to identifying a subset of embeddings associated with the set of sentences of the identified natural language document having a semantic specificity to a subset of embeddings associated with the query, the summarization mechanism adds the sentence to a summary of the identified natural language document. The summarization mechanism then outputs the summary to the user.

Natural language document summarization using hyperbolic embeddings

Software that selects portions of unlabeled text for labeling, by performing the following operations: (i) receiving a set of unlabeled input text for classification with respect to a particular domain, wherein the domain includes a labeled corpus for which topics of a set of topics correspond to labels from the corpus, and wherein the topics include statistical probability distributions of words in the corpus; (ii) performing topic modeling on the input text to associate portions of the input text with respective classifications, wherein the classifications include statistical probability distributions of topics of the set of topics in the respective portions of the input text; and (iii) applying a machine learning-based selection strategy to the portions of the input text and their respective classifications to identify one or more portions of the input text for labeling.

Identifying text for labeling utilizing topic modeling-based text clustering

For a particular search query that is received by a host system, a preliminary set of search results is generated. The host system maps the query to one or more topics that are representative to the query. The host system provides topical click data associated with the topic to a machine-learning module that determines a relevancy score of the result utilizing the topical click data. The host system re-ranks the order of the result within a set of results based upon the relevancy score.

Returning search results utilizing topical user click data when search queries are dissimilar

A data handling system includes at least two host devices. For a particular search query that is received by a first host device, a preliminary set of search results is therein generated. The first host system maps the query to one or more topics that are representative to the query. The first host system provides topical click data associated with the topic to a machine-learning module located within a second host device that determines a relevancy score of the result utilizing the topical click data. The first host system obtains the relevancy score of the result and re-ranks the order of the result within a set of results based upon the relevancy score.

A method and workstation for completing an audiovisual form. In response to a user speaking a command for the web browser to accept keyboard entry of text, the web browser accepts entry of text and displays the form with the text entered into a blank area in a field of the form. In response to all fields in the form having been processed, the web browser generates a pause for a specified period of time. In response to the specified period of time of the pause having expired, the web browser loops back to a top of the form.

Audible presentation and verbal interaction of HTML-like form constructs

A method of synchronizing an audio and visual presentation in a multi-modal browser. A form is transmitted over a network having at least one field requiring user supplied information to a multi-modal browser. Blank fields within the form are filled in by user who provides either verbal or tactile interaction, or a combination of verbal and tactile interaction. The browser moves to the next field requiring user provided input. Finally, the form exits after the user has supplied input for all required fields. The method also provides a synchronized verbal and visual presentation by said browser by having the headings for the fields to be filled out and typing in what the user says.

State information is shared across domains. The state information is placed in one or more cookies that are shared across disjoint domains. An intermediary application is used, as one example, to enable the sharing of the state information (e.g., the cookies) across the different domains. The intermediary application is used to add state information to requests received from a client and to responses going to the client. Further, an intermediary application is used to cause a client to save state information for any range of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), and to cause the client to send any previously stored state information to the intermediary application. Additionally, the intermediary application is used to cause state information previously saved by the client for one range of URLs to be subsequently saved by the client for one or more other range of URLs.

The browser moves to the next field requiring user provided input. Finally, the form exits after the user has supplied input for all required fields.

A method for verifying control accesses between a device on a non-proprietary bus and a device on a proprietary bus is disclosed. A gateway controller is connected between a proprietary bus and a non-proprietary bus. A determination is made as to whether or not a non-proprietary device is registered to more than one gateway controller. In response to a determination that the non-proprietary device is registered to more than one gateway controller, another determination is made as to whether or not the non-proprietary device is a portable device. In response to a determination that the non-proprietary device is a portable device, another determination is made as to whether or not a number of acceptable duplication has been exceeded. In response to a determination that the number of acceptable duplication has been exceeded, a flag is set to indicate a control access violation has occurred.

A system and method for a multi-modal browser/renderer that simultaneously renders content visually and verbally in a synchronized manner are provided without having the server applications change. The system and method receives a document via a computer network, parses the text in the document, provides an audible component associated with the text, simultaneously transmits to output the text and the audible component. The desired behavior for the renderer is that when some section of that content is being heard by the user, that section is visible on the screen and, furthermore, the specific visual content being audibly rendered is somehow highlighted visually. In addition, the invention also reacts to input from either the visual component or the aural component. The invention also allows any application or server to be accessible to someone via audio instead of visual means by having the browser handle the Embedded Browser Markup Language (EBML) disclosed herein so that it is audibly read to the user. Existing EBML statements can also be combined so that what is audibly read to the user is related to, but not identical to, the EBML text. The present invention also solves the problem of synchronizing audio and visual presentation of existing content via markup language changes rather than by application code changes.

A method for providing control accesses between a device on a non-proprietary bus and a device on a proprietary bus is disclosed. A gateway controller is connected between a proprietary bus and a non-proprietary bus. A message originated from a device on the non-proprietary bus intended for a device on the proprietary bus is checked by the gateway controller to determine if a transmission of the message should be permitted according to a permitted message bitmap. The permitted message bitmap contains a list of devices on the non-proprietary bus that are previously registered as able to communicate with devices on the proprietary bus and a list of permitted messages associated with each of the devices on the non-proprietary bus. The transmission of the message to the device on the proprietary bus is denied if the message is not registered within the permitted message bitmap.

A host computer provides an object stored in the host computer to a target computer. In response to a need for an object at the target computer, the host computer generates and transfers to the target computer a proxy program instead of the object. The proxy program, when executed at the target computer, provides the object. Usually, the proxy program is much shorter than the object itself, and this reduces message traffic. The proxy program has various forms such as a call to another program resident in the target computer to recreate the object or a request to a function within the target computer to provide the object. The host computer can also be programmed into an object oriented environment, the object referencing other objects, and the proxy program forming an agent in the target computer which requests these other objects from the host computer only as needed by the target computer.

Technique to minimize data transfer between two computers

Downstream buffer objects are slaved with the immediate upstream buffer object using a conventional &ldquo;write remaining&rdquo; method. The write remaining method can be invoked from each of a plurality of modules having access to the read and write pipes, and operates to slave not the data, but wrappers that point to the data and which therefore represent references to a single copy of the data stored as an upstream data buffer object, so that the actual data need exist in only one place after the write remaining method has been invoked, rather than requiring the data to be sequentially copied from one data buffer to the next. This method further has the benefit of allowing control to be returned to the module during the data transfer function, and of allowing additional data to be written to the outbound pipe.
