  • Patent number: 11946922
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for estimating greenhouse gas emissions. In particular, methods, systems, and computer program products are presented for the task of quantifying emissions reduction from changes in stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC). The methods apply more generally to tasks that involve quantification of a total or average across a population of land (and/or possibly any space and any time) using measurements at a sample from that population. The sample may not be representative or unbiased. In some examples, estimating greenhouse gas emissions may apply to quantifying the total stock of SOC in land, the total nitrous oxide emissions in land and a time interval.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7051277
    Abstract: A method of assisting a user with the task of categorizing a received electronic document into a collection includes the steps of classifying the document to obtain one or more most likely categorical labels; displaying, to the user, a representation of the one or more most likely categorical labels; receiving data, from the user, representative of a selected categorical label; and labeling the document within the collection with the selected categorical label. The electronic document can include an electronic mail message, a web page bookmark, an audio file or a video file.
