Patent number: 10043511Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: collecting various word data from cross-domain sources and subject websites; assessing relevancy of feature vectors from external domains, live content of subject websites, and secondary terms derived from the live contents; expanding a language model for a domain by relevance passing a logistic regression threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Aaron K.

Patent number: 10032448Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: determining that one or more word of a feature vector more supports than negates a language model corresponding to the domain based on a sensitivity of respective word. Words having acceptable sensitivities are added to the language model, and the language model is enhanced by use of machine learning in order to accurately and comprehensively model the language specific for the domain.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2017Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Aaron K. Baughman, Stephen C. Hammer, Christopher Eythan Holladay, David A. Provan

Patent number: 8812716Abstract: A method and system for switching media streams of a video in a client system. The media streams are made available to the client system by a content providing system. A first media stream received from the content providing system is played in a SHOW mode in the client system. An environmental change in an environment within or adjacent to the client system is detected, resulting in executing a procedure for deciding whether to switch from playing the first media stream to playing a second media stream differing from the first media stream. The executed procedure decides to make the switch. The switch is made to playing the second media stream in the SHOW mode as the second media stream is being received from the content providing system in response having been requested from the content providing system. The switching preserves content continuity of the video.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeffrey David Amsterdam, Christopher Eythan Holladay, Ryan Lynch Whitman

Patent number: 8566856Abstract: A video stream measurement method and system. The method includes receiving by a computing system, a video stream comprising plurality of timestamps located at specified intervals of the video stream. The computing system broadcasts the video stream for a user and decodes a first time stamp broadcasted during a first time period. The computing system monitors a user interaction function performed by the user and associated with the video stream. The computing system generates and transmits a report comprising a description associated with the user interaction function. The computing system receives an analysis associated with the report.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2009Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeffrey David Amsterdam, Stephen Carl Hammer, Christopher Eythan Holladay, Brian Marshall O'Connell

Patent number: 7779140Abstract: A method and system for switching media streams of a video in a client system. The media streams are made available to the client system by a content providing system. A first media stream received from the content providing system is played in a SHOW mode in the client system. A command is received from a control system to execute a procedure for deciding whether to switch from playing the first media stream to playing a second media stream which has a different media stream bandwidth than the first media stream. The executed procedure decides to make the switch. The switch is made to playing the second media stream in the SHOW mode as the second media stream is being received from the content providing system in response having been requested from the content providing system. The switching preserves content continuity of the video.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2008Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeffrey David Amsterdam, Christopher Eythan Holladay, Ryan Lynch Whitman
