Abstract: A method for discovering relationships in tabular data is provided in the illustrative embodiments. A set of documents is received, a document in the set including the tabular data. A cell in the tabular data is selected whose dependencies are to be determined. A hypothesis to use in conjunction with the cell is selected. Whether the hypothesis applies to a selected portion of the document is tested by determining whether a conclusion in the hypothesis can be computed using a function specified in the hypothesis on the selected portion. The selected portion can be a selected cell-range in the tabular data or content in a non-tabular portion of the document. The hypothesis is utilized to describe the cell relative to the selected portion.

Abstract: A device including a display screen for displaying m-words of data, a text entry device for entering data, a processor receiving data from the text entry device and causing it to be displayed on the display screen. Upon activation the processor initializes a precursor to a predefined value. The device further includes a non-volatile memory storing a dictionary containing a plurality of entries, each entry including an index, a candidate word, and a score. The processor selects a list of n-number of candidate words from the dictionary whose index matches the precursor, and causes m-number of candidate words from the list of candidate words to be displayed on the display screen. The processor causes the display to prompt the user to select one of the displayed candidate words or enter a desired word using the text entry device. Furthermore, a tech-mode for extending a word dictionary for word-based text input is provided.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for assigning functional labels to segments of web pages in an application-independent way. In the approach described herein, one of a generic set functional labels are automatically assigned to each segment of a web page, where the generic functional labels may be topic-independent and application-independent. Applications with different needs can determine which segments of the web page to process based on which functional labels correspond to the types of information needed by each application. Thus, the work of classifying the function of each segment of a web page is separated from the work of selecting which segments satisfy the need of a particular application. The work of classification can be performed in an application-independent way, relieving the burden from every application developer from having to create their own classifiers.

Abstract: Techniques for determining differences between document object models (DOMs) received in response to asynchronous functionality calls is described herein. The techniques may include clustering elements in a webpage having asynchronous functionality. The techniques include executing asynchronous functionality calls for two of the elements that form a cluster, and receiving a document object model (DOM) in response to each of the asynchronous functionality calls. The DOMs are compared to determine whether a difference exists between the DOMs based on a predetermined threshold. If no difference exists, execution of the asynchronous functionality calls is ceased.

The network interface can be a web site on the World Wide Web, an Internet location, an intranet location, an extranet location, or some other form of network interface (collectively “web site”). The system can automatically create applications and links to those applications without human intervention. Examples of automated applications include newsroom applications, calendar of events, employment opportunities, project portfolio, biographies, frequently asked questions, document library, category management, product catalogs, e-mail broadcasts, surveys, and newsletters. Fully normalized hierarchies of business rules and user profiles can be supported by the system to facilitate automation and configurability. Multiple content providers can manage a single web site in a simultaneous or substantially simultaneous manner.

Abstract: Gadgets integrate with spreadsheets and the spreadsheet calculation engine. A gadget is bound to a range of cells (one or more) within a sheet. When one or more of the cells of the bound range is accessed (e.g. selected, hovered over, edited, deleted, added), the gadget is notified. The gadget may use this information for updating a display rendered by the gadget and/or performing some other action. The gadget uses an Application Programming Interface (API) to create the binding, communicate with the spreadsheet, and perform actions in the spreadsheet. The gadget is a Named Item object within the spreadsheet such that the gadget may be viewed/displayed differently from other objects. Out of date requests from the gadget are attempted to be detected and prevented from being processed such that the gadget is not acting on the latest data.
