Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating a recommendation for increasing loading time performance of a target webpage are provided. For example, a third party window, specifying a target webpage as a source, is inserted into a webpage. The webpage is provided to a browser that displays the webpage and loads the target webpage into the third party window. Resource timing data, associated with loading the target webpage into the third party window, is retrieved. Loading time performance of the target webpage is measured based upon the resource timing data. A recommendation for increasing loading time performance of the target webpage is generated. In an example, an action such as a resource allocation change for hosting the target webpage, compression of an image of the target webpage, a connection reduction of files connected to by the target webpage, etc. is performed based upon the recommendation.

Abstract: Methods, systems and programming for presenting content summary of search results. In one example, an input associated with a search query is received from a user. One or more search results are fetched based on the search query. A summary of content with respect to at least one of the one or more search results is obtained. A search result page is presented to the user as a response to the input. The search results page includes the one or more search results and at least part of the summary of content.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to adjustable one-time password (OTP) setup, sign-in, and verification. In one example, a first length of a signature is determined. The signature has been used previously by a first user to initially sign in a second device. A second length that is different from the first length is determined. A signing key is generated based at least partially on the second length. A new signature having the second length is generated based on the signing key. The new signature is provided to a second user so that the second user can input at least a portion of the new signature into the second device for a subsequent sign in. The verification key is generated based at least partially on the new signature. The new signature input by the second user into the second device is transmitted from the second device to the third device.

Abstract: A system and method for haptic feedback includes: sensing touch input in at least one area of a touch surface; determining quantitative features of the touch input; determining temporal features of the touch input; and generating a command represented by the quantitative and temporal features of the touch input, said command producing at least one of: an alphanumeric character, a symbol, and an execution instruction.

Abstract: Methods and devices for assessing the quality of user-generated content are described. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed for measuring the quality of a user-generated answer to a question by combining various factors, including question-answer surface word vector similarity, question-answer explicit semantic analysis vector similarity, answer-answer explicit sematic analysis vector similarity, query performance predictor, sentiment analysis, textual analysis of the answer, and reputation of the answerer. The method uses a learning procedure to determine the best algorithm for measuring the overall quality of the answer based on these factors.

Abstract: Multi-thread systems and methods are described for concurrently handling requests to commit data updates to a database by a plurality of data transactions. The database preferably supports multi-versioning and the data transactions are preferably isolated by snapshot isolation. In one embodiment, concurrent and lock-free handling of requests to commit data updates includes performing two types of concurrent data conflict detection. A transaction proceeds to commit only if it passes both types of conflict detection. The first type of conflict detection is based on a hash map between data keys and their commit timestamps whereas the second type of conflict detection is based on a log that keeps track of the status of transactions whose requests to commit are actively being processed. In another embodiment, concurrent conflict detection for data items in concurrent transactions is broken down into buckets and locks are used for accessing each bucket. These systems and methods maintain transactional integrity to database while improving throughput by maximizing concurrency of data commits in a multi-thread environment.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a first perspective of a three-dimensional marker may be detected, where the three-dimensional marker has a shape that presents a different appearance from every angle. A first three-dimensional virtual overlay corresponding to the first perspective of the three-dimensional marker may be identified or generated. The first three-dimensional virtual overlay corresponding to the first perspective of the three-dimensional marker may be projected or displayed such that the first three-dimensional virtual overlay substantially covers the first perspective of the three-dimensional marker.

Abstract: Provided herein are mixed-media modules with functional layers that can be used to provided additional information to targeted audience. Systems and methods are disclosed for performing processing involved with search, such as processing search information to return search results. In one exemplary implementation, there is provided a method for processing information to return search results including mixed-media media presentation(s) selectable by a user. Moreover, such method may involve user interaction to manipulate the presentation, display various media and/or effect other functionality. Further implementations may involve generation of interactive, visually rich mixed-media content of high information density providing improved user experience and/or improved value to various participants.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to recommending content by analyzing the streamed data. A request is received from a user requesting one or more recommendations from a set of items. A first distribution indicative of an interest distribution of the user in a plurality of topics is obtained. For each item, a second distribution indicative of a classification distribution of the item with respect to the plurality of topics is obtained. A score is estimated based on the first distribution and the second distribution, wherein the score indicates likelihood that the user is interested in the item. The scores associated with the set of items are ranked. The one or more recommendations are presented based on the ranked scores
