  • Patent number: 9842341
    Abstract: A method of evaluating digital content displayed on an electronic tabletop device includes receiving a plurality of non-intentional signals generated in response to a plurality of users interacting with at least one of the digital content displayed on the electronic tabletop device and each other, classifying the plurality of non-intentional signals into a first set of data including user-specific non-intentional signals and a second set of data including collaborative non-intentional signals, correlating the plurality of non-intentional signals to user profiles corresponding to the plurality of users, and generating an evaluation report including information indicating a collaborative quality of the digital content based on the plurality of non-intentional signals and a correlation of the plurality of non-intentional signals to the user profiles.

  • Patent number: 9798742
    Abstract: A method and system for the identification of personal presence and enrichment of metadata in image media is disclosed. The method includes obtaining user presence information for user images. Feature extraction is performed on the images and media databases are searched for images based on the presence information, which includes filtering based on known metadata and filtering based on the feature extraction. The user confirms their presence in the filtered images and the user provides new metadata known to the user for the images. The system then infers metadata for the filtered images based on the new metadata and presents the inferred metadata to the user. The user validates the inferred metadata and the inferred metadata confirmed to be valid is stored.

  • Publication number: 20170178028
    Abstract: Contextual adaptation of documents automatically replaces words for synonyms that appear within context or topic whey they are being used. A machine learned topic modeling, trained by a set of documents representative of a target user is executed to determine topics of an input document, and to determine words in the document to replace based on determining the relevance of the words to the topics in the documents. An output document is generated based on the input document with the replaced words.

  • Publication number: 20160132213
    Abstract: A method, executed by a computer, for overlapping computer processing and human analysis includes: receiving a set of tasks to be executed on an array of data, receiving a user profile, prioritizing the tasks based on the user profile, partitioning the array of data based on a current task, prioritizing a plurality of data blocks, executing the current task on the plurality of prioritized data blocks, and outputting data results to the user. The method may include monitoring the user's interactions with the data results. The method may also include receiving a task profile, and prioritizing the plurality of data blocks based on the user profile and the task profile. The method may also include speculating on additional tasks that need to be executed. A computer system and computer program product corresponding to the method are also disclosed herein.
