Abstract: Methods, and systems, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for generating compressed representations from a co-occurrence matrix. A method includes obtaining a set of sub matrices of a co-occurrence matrix, where each row of the co-occurrence matrix corresponds to a feature from a first feature vocabulary and each column of the co-occurrence matrix corresponds to a feature from a second feature vocabulary; selecting a sub matrix, wherein the sub matrix is associated with a particular row block and column block of the co-occurrence matrix; assigning respective d-dimensional initial row and column embedding vectors to each row and column from the particular row and column blocks, respectively; and determining a final row embedding vector and a final column embedding vector by iteratively adjusting the initial row embedding vectors and the initial column embedding vectors using the co-occurrence matrix.

Abstract: An enhanced metadata structure and associated process is provided which captures and stores metadata gathered about the source and usage of a media asset or file. The source and usage metadata is integrated, such as by encoding within the enhanced media file, as the media asset is transferred and used. The integrated metadata accumulates, as a trail of source information and usage information in the enhanced media asset, and can be extracted upon arrival at a target computer system.

Abstract: The claimed invention enables digital asset management that is responsive to a user's interactions with digital assets. Based on the user's interaction, the invention generates a ranking of the digital assets that is intended to reflect the value of the digital assets to the user. The ranking is based in part on the access frequency and recency, and the number and types of uses of the digital assets. An access hierarchy is derived from the ranking that stores the digital assets so that the higher ranked digital assets are more easily accessed than the lower ranked digital assets.

Abstract: A digital asset management method and system are responsive to user interactions with digital assets. Rankings are generated to reflect the value of the digital assets to a user, based in part on the access frequency and recency, and the number and types of uses of the digital assets. A storage access hierarchy is derived from the ranking, wherein higher ranked digital assets are more easily accessed than lower ranked digital assets. The digital assets can include any of digital images, audio files, and Uniform Resource Locators. The invention can distinguish between different types of uses, e.g. passive viewing or playback, file sharing, transport, and editing, wherein some types of uses imbue an asset with greater value than others. The user may assign subjective values to digital assets that can be factored into the ranking independently of usage patterns. A volatility-dampening attribute may moderate volatility in the access hierarchy.

Abstract: A simple, user-friendly method and apparatus for establishing and maintaining a categorized Web browsing history uses a directory service, such as the Open Directory Project, to get category metadata about visited URLs. Metadata thus obtained are used to present a user's personal browser history in a category based hierarchy.

Abstract: The digital asset management system is responsive to user interactions with digital assets. Based on user interaction, the system generates a ranking of digital assets to reflect the value of the digital assets to the user. The ranking is based in part on access frequency and recency, and the number and types of uses of the digital assets. An access hierarchy is derived from the ranking that stores the digital assets so that higher ranked digital assets are more easily accessed from storage than lower ranked digital assets. The digital assets can include any of digital images, audio files, and Uniform Resource Locators. The system can also distinguish between different types of uses, such as passive viewing or playback, file sharing, transport, and editing. The system preferably allows subjective values to be assigned to digital assets that can be factored into the ranking independently of usage patterns.
