A property vector representing extractable measurable properties, such as musical properties, of a file is mapped to semantic properties for the file. This is achieved by using artificial neural networks “ANNs” in which weights and biases are trained to align a distance dissimilarity measure in property space for pairwise comparative files back towards a corresponding semantic distance dissimilarity measure in semantic space for those same files. The result is that, once optimised, the ANNs can process any file, parsed with those properties, to identify other files sharing common traits reflective of emotional-perception, thereby rendering a more liable and true-to-life result of similarity/dissimilarity. This contrasts with simply training a neural network to consider extractable measurable properties that, in isolation, do not provide a reliable contextual relationship into the real-world.

Remote user interface (UI) rendering effects provide increased privacy and efficiency in computer user input systems. In an aspect, an application specifies remote UI effects to be managed and rendered on UI elements separately from the application, such as by an effects component running outside of the application's operating system process. When user input indicates a preliminary interaction with a UI element, the remote UI effect can be rendered without the application's knowledge of the preliminary interaction, hence preserving a user's privacy from the application of preliminary UI interactions.
