Abstract: A computer-implemented method for reducing the resource consumption of a convolutional neural network can include obtaining data descriptive of the convolutional neural network. The convolutional neural network can include a plurality of convolutional layers configured to perform convolutions using a plurality of kernels that each includes a plurality of kernel elements. The method can include training, for one or more training iterations, the convolutional neural network using a loss function that includes a group sparsifying regularizer term configured to sparsify a respective subset of the kernel elements of the kernel(s); following at least one training iteration, determining, for each of the kernel(s), whether to modify such kernel to remove the respective subset of the kernel elements based at least in part on respective values of the respective subset of kernel elements; and modifying at least one of the kernel(s) to remove the respective subset of the kernel elements.

Abstract: A modular search object framework can provide modular search results including sponsored entity search results. The framework includes circuitry that outputs an interactive entity section based on an online search. The interactive section or at least parts of the section may be sponsored by one or more entities. The interactive section includes a plurality of moveable visual objects, such as cards that can be shuffled, flipped, or swiped around. The visual objects and features associated with the objects may be monetized.

Abstract: A system stored in a non-transitory medium executable by processor circuitry is provided for generating sponsored verbs and contexts. The system includes interface circuitry for receiving a search query from a user device and query processing circuitry for identifying search results comprising entity search result objects and non-entity search result objects related to the search query. Targeting circuitry determines a set of verb keywords associated with the search result objects and analytics circuitry selects one or more sponsored verbs for at least one entity or non-entity search result. Display logic circuitry is communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry and dynamically generates interface elements for each of the one or more sponsored verbs, and displays, in response to the search query, the interface elements as a sub-component of the at least one entity or non-entity search result.

Abstract: A modular search object framework provides modular search results including entity search results reflecting the intent of a searcher. Also, an interface (such as a graphical user interface provided by the framework), aids in organizing results (such as links, titles, and description) according to the intent of the user as manifest in the search query and interactions with the interface. Circuitry of the framework also predicts user intent from historical information corresponding to the searcher (or to a group with which the searcher is associated).

Abstract: A modular search object framework can provide monetization of entity based content. Such a framework can include circuitry configured to manually or automatically link monetized search terms with entities, so that the entities can be monetized without additional bids on the entities. Once the framework generates such links, advertisers may continue to bid on search terms, and create new links or change initial links. Also, through the framework advertisers may bid on an entity that can encompass a set of associated search terms. For example, instead of bidding on a great number of search terms, an advertiser can bid on a few entities that include at least a majority of the associated search terms. With such functionality, the workload of the advertiser can be greatly reduced.

Abstract: A modular search object framework provides modular search results, including entity and non-entity search results, with search suggestions in a combined visual display. The framework includes circuitry that outputs search results and search suggestions comprising perceivable differences between the results and the suggestions. In addition, circuitry of the framework outputs search results, wherein non-entity and entity search results are distinguishable from each other, for example in shape, size, color, or other visual effect.

Abstract: Based on a user's search query, a search result (such as a sponsored search result) can appear within a graphical user interface (GUI) of a client-side application, and the client-side application can provide a mechanism for user interaction with the search result. The GUI of the client-side application can be a page view of a web browser. The mechanism of the client-side application can occur within the same page view as the search result. For example, the mechanism can include a sub-GUI that extends out from the search result on the same page view as the search result. Also, the search result and/or the sub-GUI can be monetized.

Abstract: A method and system for enabling writings and/or drawings created during or in advance of a virtual meeting or the like to be electronically delivered to an online audience or stored for subsequent on-demand viewing such that the writings and/or drawings may be replicated on an audience member's computer in a manner that makes them clearly readable. The invention is implemented via a software application that runs on a computer to which a video capture device is connected. The software application and/or computer peripheral components process captured video content to filter out data that do not pertain to the writings and/or drawings, based on the unique characteristics of writings and drawings as compared with other artifacts that may occupy the visual images. The remaining pertinent data is then transmitted to the on-line audience or saved for later on-demand viewing.
