  • Publication number: 20190052720
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which provide for retrieval, ranking, and display of candidates that are more likely to respond to employment inquiries in an employment search graphical user interface (GUI). The system may employ a machine learning algorithm which may calculate a score for each member of the social networking service that predicts, based upon one or more features how likely the individual is to respond to a message. In some examples, the candidates that are determined to be more likely to respond may be presented as a selectable option in the GUI.

  • Publication number: 20170109445
    Abstract: System and techniques for search result refinement are described herein. Search results and a search context may be obtained, A context dependent facet set may be added to a search result in the search results. A user interface of the context dependent facet set may be presented in conjunction with displaying the search results. A selection of a facet in the context dependent facet set may be received from a user. The search results being displayed may be filtered such that search results that meet a measurement of the facet are included in the displayed search results and the remaining search results are excluded from the display.

  • Patent number: 8903185
    Abstract: A method of embedding a binary watermark into an image and a computer applied such are disclosed. The binary watermark is transformed to a watermark sequence consisting of K binary numbers and the image is converted into a grayscale image, being segmented into several sections. K sections are selected randomly while each selected section corresponds to one of the binary numbers of the watermark sequence. In relation to each selected section, a sum of a first part of the pixels and a sum of a second part of the pixels is compared. Each of the selected sections having their result of comparison being made to correspond to corresponding binary number in accordance with a predefined correlation results in the binary watermark being embedded into the image.

  • Patent number: 8670050
    Abstract: A computerized method determines similarities between a first image and a second image. The first image is converted into a first grayscale image, and the second image is converted into a second grayscale image, where a number of pixels of the second image is not less than a number of pixels of the first image. Each pixel of the first grayscale image is matched with a pixel of the second grayscale image to create a pixel pair sequence. A similarity value indicating the similarities between the first image and the second image is calculated according to the grayscale value of each pixel in the pixel pair sequence S.

  • Publication number: 20130262090
    Abstract: A semantic ambiguity reduction system deconstructs the sentence into a number of basic word units according to predetermined word definitions and semantic logic rules. The semantic ambiguity reduction system acquires the semantic judgments based on the basic word units and the semantic logic rules, stores the semantic judgment if only one semantic judgment of the sentence is acquired, and determines a number of keywords of a semantic ambiguity if more than one semantic judgment is acquired. The semantic ambiguity determines critical information by searching the keywords in the word definitions and the semantic judgments being stored, and selects one semantic judgment from the more than one semantic judgment about the sentence according to the critical information.

  • Patent number: 7588470
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulating housing defining a base portion and a tongue portion extending forwards from a front face of the base portion, a plurality of terminals, a shielding shell and a detect pin. Each contact defines a solder portion extending towards a bottom face of the base portion and a contacting portion located on a first surface of the tongue portion. The shielding shell surrounds the insulating housing and forms a receiving cavity for being inserted by a counter connector with an insulating tongue portion and a shielding member surrounding the insulating tongue portion. The receiving cavity is divided into a housing receiving portion for receiving the insulating tongue portion of the counter connector and a shell receiving portion for receiving the shielding member. The detecting pin has an arc section projecting only into the shell receiving portion of the receiving cavity.
