Abstract: Software generates an article signature for each article in a plurality of articles. The software initializes a clustering algorithm with a plurality of initial clusters that are non-overlapping. A centroid signature is generated for each initial cluster from the article signatures of the articles in the initial cluster. The software performs a succession of alternating merges and splits using the centroid signatures to create a plurality of non-overlapping coherent clusters from the plurality of initial clusters. The software identifies an article that is related to a specific article by mapping the article signature for the specific article to the centroid signature for at least one coherent cluster and comparing that article signature to the article signatures of the articles in the coherent cluster, using at least one similarity measure. The software displays the specific article and the related article in proximity to each other in a content stream.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to automatic formality classification and transformation of online text items. In one example, a request is received for determining a formality level of a text item in an online communication. One or more linguistic features are extracted from the text item. Contextual information with respect to the online communication is extracted. A formality level of the text item is determined based on the one or more linguistic features and the contextual information. The formality level represents a degree of formality of the text item. The formality level is provided as a response to the request.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an optimized data interchange system, method and architecture. An original data interchange document, such as a JavaScript™ Object Notation (JSON) document, comprising a number of name/value pairs is separated, or split, into a template document and a data document for separate transmission. The two documents can be recombined at a destination computing device.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in a communication system supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data across computers and platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods perform spatial sensing in order to locate adjacent devices via asymmetric Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) received signal strength indication (RSSI) distributions. Such spatial location between adjacent devices enables the devices to communicate, share, generate and/or consume digital information as a single, connected and/or localized logical unit.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a user identifier associated with a user account is received. Indications of a plurality of authentication mechanisms available for authentication are provided for display via the client device. Input indicating a number of authentication mechanisms to be used for authentication in association with the user account is received from the client device, wherein the input includes a selection of one or more of the plurality of authentication mechanisms. Information is stored in association with the user account, where the information indicates the number of authentication mechanisms to be used for authentication in association with the user account and indicates the selected authentication mechanisms. At least a subset of the selected authentication mechanisms are used for authentication in association with the user account.

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for event state management in stream processing. In one example, a batch of events is created from a plurality of input events. The batch is associated with a state and is to be processed in one or more stages. The batch of events is stored in a persistent storage. The state associated with the batch is updated based on results of processing the batch in the one or more stages. The state associated with the batch is retrieved.

Abstract: A social environment is provided by creating an object in response to recognition of an entity in a portion of web content, wherein the object represents the entity, the object is associated with a type selected from a set of types, and the type is associated with a schema selected from a set of schemas, where the social environment includes a set of objects including the object, wherein the objects are instances of corresponding types in a rich system of predefined types, the schemas are associated with the types, metadata is associated with the objects, and there is at least one relationship between at least two objects selected from the set of objects, where the set of objects and the metadata are extensible, such that extensions provided by a first user are available for use by a second user. In one example, metadata provided by a first user is only available to a second user having a relationship with the first user.

Abstract: An online advertising system receives an advertisement from an advertiser. The system analyzes the advertisement, extracts its features and provides to the advertiser a quality rating for the advertisement which depends on a user engagement factor such as the predicted dwell time for the ad, given its features. The system further provides to the advertiser suggestions for improvements to the advertisement, such as a list of actionable guidelines that can improve the expected dwell time of the ad, and likely its conversion rate.

Abstract: A digital document is represented as a set of codes comprising indices into a feature space comprising a number of subspaces, each code corresponds to one subspace and identifying a cell within the subspace. Each digital document can be represented by a code set, and the code set can be used as selection criteria for identifying a number of digital documents using each digital document's corresponding code set. By way of some non-limiting examples, digital document code sets can be used to identify similar or different digital images, used to identify duplicate or nearly-duplicate digital images, used to identify similar and/or different digital images for inclusion in a recommendation, used to identify and rank digital images in a set of search results.
