Publication number: 20160219099Abstract: A result for a task may be provided in response to receiving a request from, for example, a user for the result. The request specifies a desired accuracy level for the result. The accuracy of the result is determined using the individual accuracies of one or more persons that have selected the result. Each person's individual accuracy is determined based on results for prior tasks previously performed by that person. The person's individual accuracy is proportional to the number of that person's prior results that are with a consensus of other persons that have performed the same prior task. The result is provided if the accuracy of the result is equal to or greater than the desired accuracy level.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2016Publication date: July 28, 2016Inventors: Byron William Reese, William Ballard

Patent number: 8706738Abstract: Systems, methods and machine-readable mediums to identify web page titles for content production are provided. The systems may include a storage device and a processor. The storage device may store a plurality of titles, each title is associated with a respective one of a plurality of web pages. The processor may be programmed to select a title from the plurality of titles and determine a value for the selected title. The value may be based on the number of times that the selected title appears in the plurality of titles, and on the number of web pages that link to the selected title. If the value is greater than a first threshold level, the processor may be programmed to identify the selected title for online publication.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2010Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Demand Media, Inc.Inventor: Byron William Reese

Publication number: 20130031450Abstract: Systems and methods are provided the for presentation of links to content to a user on webpages of a website where titles associated with the links are tuned to the user's psychographic variables. In one embodiment, a respective plurality of titles is generated for each of a plurality of content items. At least some titles are tagged with psychographic tags. When a user accesses content by selecting a link having a title that is tagged with one or more psychographic tags, the system stores a representation of such tags in association with the user. When additional links for recommended content are displayed to the user, the system selects titles for links to such content based on psychographic tags associated with the user and the titles.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: DEMAND MEDIA, INC.Inventor: Byron William Reese
