Abstract: Method, system, and programs for providing identifiers to objects. Input data representing a plurality of objects is received and categorized into a plurality of entity categories. A first graph of entities is generated using the plurality of entity categories. The first graph of entities are matched with a second graph of entities. A comparison of object pairs is then made, in which each object pair includes a first object from the first graph of entities and a corresponding second object from the second graph of entities. Identifiers are assigned to each object based on comparing the object pairs.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for generating and awarding user-generated badges. In one embodiment, a user-generated badge may be generated in response to input received via a graphical user interface. The user-generated badge may be represented by a media token and have associated therewith a set of rules defining one or more activities to be completed. Activity data may be monitored via one or more data sources based upon the set of rules. An instance of the user-generated badge may be automatically awarded to individuals satisfying the set of rules.

Abstract: Users consume a wide variety of content from various sources, such as videos accessible through websites. As provided herein, content recommendations that are contextually and/or semantically relevant to current content consumed by a user may be identified and provided to the user. For example, metadata for a video being watched by the user may be identified (e.g., terms extracted from a description, user reviews, a category, and/or other information). The metadata may be used to identify content recommendations based upon the metadata corresponding to terms grouped into a set of refined topic groupings of a graph comprising terms and relationships between terms extracted from a content corpus. The metadata may be matched to relevant terms within the set of refined topic groupings, and content recommendations comprising content corresponding to the relevant terms may be suggested to the user.

Abstract translation: 用户可以从各种来源（例如通过网站访问的视频）消费各种各样的内容。 如本文所提供的，可以识别与用户所消费的当前内容上下文和/或语义相关的内容推荐，并将其提供给用户。 例如，可以识别由用户观看的视频的元数据（例如，从描述提取的术语，用户评论，类别和/或其他信息）。 元数据可以用于基于对应于分组为包括从内容语料库提取的术语和关系之间的关系的图的精简主题分组的集合的元数据来标识内容建议。 元数据可以与精简主题分组集合内的相关项匹配，并且可以向用户建议包括对应于相关术语的内容的内容建议。

Abstract: A tokenization platform and method is described for accurately tokenizing character strings, including but not limited to non-delimited character strings of the type commonly used in Internet domain names and computer filenames, to accurately identify words and phrases occurring therein. In one embodiment, a phased tokenization approach is used in which the final phase is a lexical analysis-based tokenization using a dictionary. The dictionary may be advantageously created and updated based upon one or more query logs associated with respective information retrieval systems, thereby ensuring that the dictionary accurately reflects currently-used terminology and captures alternative spellings and presentations of words and phrases submitted by users.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for selectively delivering shared information. The disclosed systems and methods enable a sending user to decide what context of information is to be shared, in that a sending user can determine when and where information is shared. This enables increased social engagement towards relevant information. Additionally, this enables a vast opportunity for commercial opportunities, whereby advertisements can be served contingent upon a consumer's context, and/or only when the product or service offered to the consumer is relevant.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于选择性地传送共享信息的系统和方法。 所公开的系统和方法使得发送用户能够决定要共享什么上下文信息，因为发送用户可以确定信息共享的时间和地点。 这可以增加社会参与相关信息。 此外，这使得商业机会获得巨大的机会，由此广告可以根据消费者的情境和/或仅当提供给消费者的产品或服务是相关的而被服务时。

Abstract: A modular search object framework provides modular search results including entity search results reflecting the intent of a searcher. Also, an interface (such as a graphical user interface provided by the framework), aids in organizing results (such as links, titles, and description) according to the intent of the user as manifest in the search query and interactions with the interface. Circuitry of the framework also predicts user intent from historical information corresponding to the searcher (or to a group with which the searcher is associated).

Abstract translation: 模块化搜索对象框架提供模块搜索结果，包括反映搜索者意图的实体搜索结果。 另外，界面（如由框架提供的图形用户界面）有助于根据用户的意图来组织结果（如链接，标题和描述），作为搜索查询中的清单和与界面的交互。 框架的电路还根据与搜索者（或搜索者所关联的群组）对应的历史信息来预测用户意图。

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to identifying network resources or other topics that are of interest to members of multiple online communities to which a user belongs. Online communities include blogs, websites, games, e-commerce systems, messaging systems, wikis, etc. For each online community, click activity or other client behaviors are tracked and analyzed to determine statistical metrics about community activity, such as which articles, links, services, or other network resources are popular in the online community. At least some of the tracking or analysis can be performed by clients that access the online communities, by a server of each online community, and/or by a central tracking system. The results for each community may be further analyzed relative to each other. The results are provided for all communities with which a given user is associated. For example, a list of the most popular links in the user's selected online communities.

Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例涉及识别用户所属的多个在线社区的成员感兴趣的网络资源或其他主题。 在线社区包括博客，网站，游戏，电子商务系统，邮件系统，维基等。对于每个在线社区，点击活动或其他客户行为进行跟踪和分析，以确定关于社区活动的统计指标，例如哪些文章，链接 ，服务或其他网络资源在在线社区中很受欢迎。 至少一些跟踪或分析可以由访问在线社区的客户端，每个在线社区的服务器和/或中央跟踪系统执行。 每个社区的结果可以相对于彼此进一步分析。 为与给定用户关联的所有社区提供结果。 例如，用户选择的在线社区中最受欢迎的链接列表。
