Abstract: Software debugging recommendation technique embodiments are presented that generally entails creating a database of characterized software bug descriptions and providing software debugging recommendations from the database in response to a query. This can employ a two-phased approach in the search for similar software bugs. The first is a search phase that takes a query as input and returns a ranked list of software bug descriptions that match the query. These bug descriptions can contain a mix of structured and unstructured data. The second phase is a related-information phase that uses the output of the first phase to retrieve a set of related recommendations such as for people, source files, functions and binaries.

Abstract: Media collections (MC) service embodiments are presented which generally facilitate access to diverse forms of media by resolving an identifier tuple assigned to a content item into a set of one or more Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) which point to an instance of the content item. This scheme supports the upload and query of collections of media elements such as images, audio, video, deep zoom images, photosynth and so on. In addition, the foregoing scheme affords a standard way to bind to media that persists, and makes it easier to author and play content while being flexible about where the media is located.
