  • Unsupervised learning using global features, including for log-linear model word segmentation
    Patent number: 8909514
    Abstract: Described is a technology for performing unsupervised learning using global features extracted from unlabeled examples. The unsupervised learning process may be used to train a log-linear model, such as for use in morphological segmentation of words. For example, segmentations of the examples are sampled based upon the global features to produce a segmented corpus and log-linear model, which are then iteratively reprocessed to produce a final segmented corpus and a log-linear model.

  • FULL-BODY BOARD SPORTS TRAINING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20140336025
    Abstract: A board-based training device is provided. The board-based training device can comprise at least one piece having an underlying unbalanced surface. The unbalanced surface can be shaped to be unstable when placed on a ground. The piece can further have a support surface for supporting a deck. The training device can also include at least one securing mechanism for reversibly attaching the support surface of the piece against a bottom surface of the deck. The reversible attachment can secure the piece to the deck such that the movement of the secured piece with respect to the deck can be restrained. The unbalanced shape can be conical, the long axis of which being aligned with the long axis of the piece. The device can further include at least one attachment point for attaching at least one linkage.

  • Inviting assistant entity into a network communication session
    Patent number: 8166173
    Abstract: A method is provided for inviting an assistant entity, such as a customer service representative acting through a endpoint system, into an existing network communication session established by a service system. The service system controls the joining of endpoint entities to the session and enables endpoint entities joined to the session to communicate with each other. The method involves a first party associated with an endpoint system already joined to the session, indicating to the service system that the presence of an assistant entity is required. The service system selects an appropriate assistant entity taking account of the current context of the communication session, and joins the selected assistant entity to the session.

  • HANDHELD DISPLAY DEVICE WITH MICROSCOPE OPTICS
    Publication number: 20110292199
    Abstract: A handheld display device having a substantially planar configuration. The device includes: a housing having first and second opposite faces; a display screen disposed in the first face; a camera having an image sensor positioned for receiving images from the second face; a window defined in the second face, the window being offset from the image sensor; and microscope optics defining an optical path between the window and the image sensor. The microscope optics are configured for magnifying a portion of a surface upon which the device is resting. A majority of the optical path is parallel with a plane of the device.

  • TRANSLITERATION USING INDICATOR AND HYBRID GENERATIVE FEATURES
    Publication number: 20110218796
    Abstract: Described is a transliteration engine/substring decoder that back-transliterates an input string from a source language into an output string in a target language. The transliteration engine may be based upon discriminately weighted indicator features and/or generative models in which the decoder's discriminative parameters are learned. The training data may be based on source-target pairs, which may be transformed into derivations. Features extracted from these derivations include indicator features and hybrid generative model features.
