Abstract:
Methods and arrangements for conducting a search using query logs. A query log is consulted and query rewrite rules are learned automatically based on data in the query log. The learning includes obtaining click-through data present in the query log.

Abstract:
Congestion adaptive data routing is leveraged to provide a substantial increase in data throughput in networks with data congestion. By continuously adapting the data routes when a congested route is encountered, the data can reach its destination via alternate routes around the congested area. This is accomplished in a distributed manner where each node provides an alternative path to congestion based on its local knowledge and/or knowledge obtained from neighboring nodes. This allows the data path to be dynamically adjusted for congestion without requiring a centralized body of control. In another instance, data rate changes can be combined with data path changes to increase the efficiency of the data throughput. Alternative routes can be determined based upon the costs associated with selecting that route. Selecting a minimum cost route yields the most efficient transfer of data.
Abstract:
A system, method and product for distribution-based incentives relating to resource consumption. The system comprising: a receiver configured to obtain from one or more monitoring devices monitoring information relating to resource consumption by a consumer over a space, wherein the space is partitioned into slots, wherein based on the monitoring information a consumption tuple of a consumer can be determined; a distribution obtaining module for obtaining a predetermined distribution of consumption of the resource, which is associated with the consumer; and a price computation module configured to compute a price of consumption by the consumer based on the consumption tuple, wherein the price is computed using a pricing function which is based on the predetermined distribution, whereby a price associated with resource consumption in a slot depends upon resource consumption in other slots.

Abstract:
Techniques for dynamically compiling a list of one or more solution documents are provided. The techniques include receiving one or more questions, forming one or more of the one or more questions into one or more lists, wherein forming one or more questions into one or more lists comprises expressing each question in a compressed manner using one or more sets of one or more keywords, receiving input from a solution database, and using the one or more lists and input from a solution database to dynamically compile a list of one or more solution documents in connection with the one or more questions.
Abstract:
Methods and arrangements for establishing financial transfer limits. A customer reputation score for mobile money transfer is determined. A mobile money transfer limit is established based on the customer reputation score, and the customer reputation score is updated in response to predetermined parameters.
