  • Patent number: 7496693
    Abstract: A method of interacting with a speech recognition (SR)-enabled personal computer (PC) is provided in which a user SR profile is transferred from a wireless-enabled device to the SR-enabled PC. Interaction with SR applications, on the SR-enabled PC, is carried out by transmitting speech signals wirelessly to the SR-enabled PC. The transmitted speech signals are recognized with the help of the transferred user SR profile.

  • Patent number: 7305389
    Abstract: Systems and methods providing computer-implemented content propagation for enhanced document retrieval are described. In one aspect, reference information directed to one or more documents is identified. The reference information is identified from one or more sources of data that are independent of a data source that includes the one or more documents. Metadata that is proximally located to the reference information is extracted from the one or more sources of data. Relevance between respective features of the metadata to content of associated ones of the one or more documents is calculated. For each document of the one or more documents, associated portions of the metadata is indexed with the relevance of features from the respective portions into original content of the document. The indexing generates one or more enhanced documents.

  • Patent number: 7289985
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced document retrieval are described. In one aspect, a search query from an end-user is received. Responsive to receiving the search query, search results are retrieved. The search results include an enhanced document and a set of non-enhanced documents. The enhanced document and the non-enhanced documents include term(s) of the search query. The enhanced document is derived from a base document. The base document was modified with metadata mined from one or more different documents. The metadata is associated with one or more respective references to the base document. The one or more different documents are independent of the base document.

  • Patent number: 7266559
    Abstract: A method and computer-readable medium are provided for constructing a classifier for classifying search queries. The classifier is constructed by receiving a query from a user and applying the query to a classifier to identify the task. An unsupervised mapping between the query and the task is then identified and is used to train a new classifier. Under one embodiment, the unsupervised mapping is identified based on a user's selection of the task.

  • Patent number: 7152202
    Abstract: A method for balancing the allocation of available display slots on a Web page among a plurality of different sources of display items comprises (a) defining for each source a set of candidate items to be displayed, (b) selecting items from a pool of all candidate sets, in a manner that normalizes the probability that the items of any one candidate set will be selected in relation to the items of the other candidate sets, and (c) inserting the selected items into the available display slots of the Web page.
