  • Publication number: 20170091697
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for server(s) assigning section or list item classifications to price list or business data extracted from a website. The server routes each new task verifying the classification to a crowd worker, and the server receives a completed. The server calculates a crowd worker score for each crowd worker based on each worker's quality scores according to the worker's review of the classifications on a worker user interface. The server generates a quality model for predicting a task quality score for the task, according to an error score for the crowd worker. If the error score in the quality model is below a predetermined threshold, the server transmits the completed task to a task reviewer's client for review.

  • Publication number: 20170061356
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers configured to assign section or list item classifications to price list or business data extracted from a website. The server calculates a crowd worker score for each of a plurality of crowd workers based on each worker's quality and speed scores for tasks reviewing the classifications on a worker user interface. If a crowd worker score for a worker is below a crowd worker quality threshold, each new task is routed to the worker, and the received task, when completed, is routed to a worker whose crowd worker score is above the crowd worker quality threshold for review.

  • Patent number: 9516089
    Abstract: A system and method for document classification are presented. An input document is received (e.g., by at least one server communicatively coupled to a network). A plurality of features are identified in the input document. The plurality of features include sequences of text extracted from the input document. A feature vector of the input document is generated based upon the sequences of text, and the feature vector of the input document is compared to each of a plurality of signature vectors to determine a primary type of the input document.

  • Patent number: 9470326
    Abstract: In one form, a vent apparatus includes an inlet frame, a venting member, and a retainer member. The venting member includes a mounting portion, a weakened area or burst slit, and a domed portion. The mounting portion of the venting member is secured between the inlet frame and the retainer member. The retainer member includes vent retainer portions or tab portions that extend over the burst slit. The vent apparatus is configured to burst when an inlet pressure exceeds a predetermined level, where the tab portions will bend away and the venting member will bend past the tab portions to relieve the pressure. The inlet frame is configured to support against a vacuum pressure acting in the opposite direction, with the tab portions generally free from the load caused by the vacuum pressure.

  • Publication number: 20140195312
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically determining an amount of review a crowd-sourcing task needs after an initial review has been completed by a processing worker. An evaluation metric is automatically assigned to the work performed by the processing worker to determine the appropriate amount of human review required for a particular task. The evaluation metric may be calculated by accessing and evaluating a plurality of transaction categories related, but not limited to, worker characteristics, document characteristics and processing characteristics. Additionally, the evaluation metric may be used to determine compensation of the processing worker and whether a promotion or demotion is necessary. The system is also capable of balancing individual workloads based upon the evaluation metric.

  • Patent number: 7966337
    Abstract: A system and method for prioritizing a fetch order of web pages. The method comprises extracting by a web crawler a set of candidate web pages to be crawled. Each web page in the set of candidate web pages is associated with a website in a computer network. A determination is made to determine if a first website score for the website is in a website score database. The first website score is associated with web pages in the set of candidate web pages if the first website score exists in the website score database. The set of candidate web pages is prioritized with respect to an associated website score for each web page in the candidate set of web pages. Content is retrieved from the set of candidate web. Hyperlinks are extracted from the content. The hyperlinks are stored in a memory unit.
