Abstract:
A set of general criteria have been defined to improve the efficacy of a tagging system, and have been applied to present collaborative tag suggestions to a user. The collaborative tag suggestions are based on a goodness measure for tags derived from collective user authorities to combat spam. The goodness measure is iteratively adjusted by a reward-penalty algorithm during tag selection. The collaborative tag suggestions can also incorporate other sources of tags, e.g., content-based auto-generated tags.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards systems and method for organization of bookmarks. The method according to one embodiment comprises retrieving one or more bookmarks associated with one or more content items, a given bookmark generated by a user of a client device and identifying one or more tags associated with one or uniform resource locators corresponding to the or more bookmarks. A bookmark folder hierarchy is created through use of a clustering algorithm on the basis of the one or more tags associated with the one or more uniform resource locators corresponding to the one or more bookmarks.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and machine-readable media are disclosed for searching a corpus of information by utilizing a Bloom filter for caching query results. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method of caching information from a corpus of information can include populating one or more Bloom filters with a plurality of bits representative of information in the corpus of information. A search request can be received identifying requested information from the corpus of information. One or more bits in the filter(s) associated with the requested information can be checked and the requested information can be retrieved from the corpus of information based on results of said checking. Furthermore, the filter(s) can be used to determine which information to make available to a particular user in a system where certain information is associated with or access is limited to certain users or groups of users.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatuses for automatically determining user stays of a user of a mobile device are disclosed. One embodiment includes a network server operative to receive sensed location information of a mobile device. Further, the network server and/or a controller of the mobile device are operative to determine the mobile device is within a specific distance of a specific location for at least specific minimum time duration based on the location information, determine a start time of a user stay based on the location information, the specific location and the specific distance, and determine an end time of the user stay based on the location information, the specific location and the specific distance.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for relating aborted client accesses of server information to the quality of service provided to clients by a server in a client-server network. According to one embodiment, a method comprises determining performance data for at least one aborted client access of information from a server in a client-server network, and using the performance data to determine whether the aborted client access(es) relate to the quality of service provided to a client by the server.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for reconstructing client web page accesses is provided that comprises capturing network-level information for client accesses of at least one web page. The method further comprises constructing a knowledge base of reliable information identifying content of at least one web page, and reconstructing at least one client web page access from the captured network-level information using the reliable information of the knowledge base.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatuses for using wireless access points to identify points of interest (POIs), are disclosed. One embodiment includes a method of using wireless access points to identify points of interest (POIs). The method includes collecting wireless access data points, wherein the wireless access data points comprise at least one wireless access point signature of at least one wireless access element of the wireless access points, analyzing the wireless access data points over a time window, comprising identifying segments within the time window, and matching a point of interest (POI) with each identified segment.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatuses for automatically detecting and sharing user stays of a mobile device of a user are disclosed. One method includes persistently collecting location information, determining a group of users for sharing the user stays, determining whether the mobile device is within a specific distance of a specific location for at least specific minimum duration based on the location information, determining a user stay based on the location information and the specific distance, determining if the user stay is private or public to at least a portion of the group of users based on preferences of the user and the location information, and sharing the user stay with the at least the portion of the group of users by sending notifications to the group of users if the user stay is determined to be public to the at least the portion of the group of users.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatus for ranking potential points of interest (POIs) of a user stay are disclosed. One system includes an upstream server connected through a network to a mobile device. At least one of the upstream server and a controller of the mobile device is operative to estimate a location of a user stay of the mobile device, access a database of POIs, and parameters of the POIs, and generate a ranking score for a plurality of POIs based on a weighted comparison of each of the parameters of the POIs with corresponding parameters of the user stay.
