Abstract: A computing system receives an indication that a user has selected a passage shown on a search engine results page (SERP) presented on a display. Upon receiving the indication, the computing system identifies a plurality of suggested queries related to the passage, where the plurality of suggested queries are generated based upon the passage and an entry for an entity in a knowledge graph. Upon identifying the plurality of suggested queries, the computing system presents the plurality of suggested queries in a pop-up graphical element that overlays a portion of the SERP, where the pop-up graphical element is located proximate to the passage shown on the SERP. When a query in the plurality of suggested queries is selected, a second SERP is presented on the display, where the second SERP is based upon the query.

Abstract: Reliability regarding a class determination for an object is improved. Classification system includes first classification part, second classification part, and determination part. First classification part classifies first target data into at least one of a plurality of first classes. Second classification part classifies second target data into at least one of a plurality of second classes. Determination part decides whether to use one or both of a first classification result that is a classification result obtained by first classification part and a second classification result that is a classification result obtained by second classification part, and determines a class of object based on one or both of them. The first target data is image data of object. The second target data is manufacturing data regarding a manufacturing condition of object.

Abstract: An attribute information setting section loads information indicating whether or not access to each of a plurality of files is allowed, into a memory. A readout request receiving section receives a readout request including a file path from a program. A hash value deriving section derives a hash value of a file path included in the readout request. A file confirming section confirms whether or not the derived hash value matches with one of hash values of the files included in software. A determining section refers to the information loaded into the memory by the attribute information setting section in a case in which matching of the hash values is confirmed, to thereby determine whether or not a process on the file which has been subjected to the readout request is executable.

Abstract: A database management engine provides a user interface that allows users to access and modify employee information in a database. The database includes entries for employees, and each database entry includes identifying information about the associated employee. A user can request to modify data within database entries, for instance in order to update information associated with an employee. Responsive to the request, the database management engine identifies liabilities associated with the database modification stemming from associated tax laws. Based on the identified tax liabilities, the engine computes the aggregate tax liability owed by the employer and/or employee. Before modifying a database entry, the engine modifies the user interface to include interface elements detailing the computed aggregate tax liability. The user explicitly can be required to confirm the database modification in view of the aggregate tax liability.
