Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for scheduling execution of pre-execution operations of an annotator of a question and answer (QA) system pipeline. A model is used to represent a system of annotators of the QA system pipeline, where the model represents each annotator as a node having one or more performance parameters indicating a performance of an execution of an annotator corresponding to the node. For each annotator in a set of annotators of the system of annotators, an effective response time for the annotator is calculated based on the performance parameters. A pre-execution start interval for a first annotator based on an effective response time of a second annotator is calculated where execution of the first annotator is sequentially after execution of the second annotator. Execution of pre-execution operations associated with the first annotator is scheduled based on the calculated pre-execution start interval for the first annotator.

Abstract: Methods for analyzing and rendering business intelligence data allow for efficient scalability as datasets grow in size. Human intervention is minimized by augmented decision making ability in selecting what aspects of large datasets should be focused on to drive key business outcomes. Variable value combinations that are predominant drivers of key observations are automatically determined from several competing variable value combinations. The identified variable value combinations can then be then used to predict future trends underlying the business intelligence data. In another embodiment, an observed outcome is decomposed into multiple contributing drivers and the impact of each of the contributing drivers can be analyzed and numerically quantified—as a static snapshot or as a time-varying evolution.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for interactively viewing and manipulating elements of a web page or application layout uploaded from a client to a server. Elements of the layout, such as graphics and image properties, are extracted, encoded and used to generate a JSON file describing the layout along with a sprite sheet of all of the images. The JSON file and the sprite sheet are then stored as a rendition of the layout within a cloud environment. A web-based application can be used to retrieve the JSON file and the sprite sheet. The JSON and sprite sheet may be used to create a preview environment. Additional data in the JSON can be used to generate an information panel in the web browser for representing relationships between the layers, styles and other properties of the layout in the information panel and the elements displayed in the preview.

Abstract: Improved authoring techniques enable digital forms to be configured so as to facilitate subsequent analysis of how specific consumer segments interact with such forms. As a form author defines and manipulates the fields that comprise a form, selected fields can be designated as dimensions across which metrics can be analyzed. Depending on the particular type of data being collected, author-designated dimensions are optionally transformed into more meaningful categories. For instance, a “household income” field can be transformed into lower- and higher-income segments. If the form author wishes to later analyze metrics such as interaction time and errors encountered, consumers can be segmented on the basis of such dimensions. For example, the form author may understand which income segment requires the most time to complete a form. In general, this provides information with respect to how certain segments interact with a digital form, thereby enabling form authors to improve consumer experience.

Abstract: It is enabled to arrange transaction targets by using variations of attribute into a table and cause the table to be displayed. An information processing apparatus determines, for a transaction target group identified based on a user operation related to search for transaction targets, whether or not there are two or more attribute values for each attribute item. The information processing apparatus associates an attribute item where it is determined that there are two or more attribute values with tables, rows, or columns. The information processing apparatus identifies a transaction target having an attribute indicated by an attribute value corresponding to a cell from among the transaction target group for each cell. The information processing apparatus causes a table in which each cell includes display information indicating the identified transaction target to be displayed.

Abstract: A system can stream content items and ad items to a user interface of a client-side application (such as a web browser) without refreshing the user interface and by requesting such items from a local cache and/or a remote cache associated with the client-side application or the user interface. The remote cache can operate much like a local cache for the client-side application or the user interface. Items can be streamed to a user interface without refreshing the user interface and by requesting such items from a remote cache dedicated to caching the items that can be presented by the user interface. Because the tracking of such items and the tracking of the interactions with such items creates such large amounts of data, communicating the tracked data may be impracticable without use of a system that can effectively compress associated instrumentation data.
