Abstract: The collection of social data from social networking services for market research purposes is improved by automating the formulation of a final query rule sets by analyzing relevant keywords captured using a seed query rule set based on a user input. Relevant keywords from social mentions based on a seed query rule set for a brand name and/or product can be extracted to form at least parts of a final query rule set. The relevant keywords can then be disambiguated by using a searchable reference to resolve ambiguities. Any generalities in the relevant keywords can also be resolved by analyzing the co-occurrence of the relevant keywords with relevant keywords from another brand and/or product. The relevant keywords having been disambiguated and having generalities resolved therein, may be used to automatically generate a final query rule set for providing relevant search results based on the user input.

Abstract: A method for displaying a multipoint videoconference includes receiving a plurality of video signals generated at a plurality of remote conference sites. The method includes assigning a plurality of video signals generated at a first remote conference site to a first monitor of a plurality of monitors at a local site and assigning a plurality of video signals generated at a second remote conference site to a second monitor of the plurality of monitors at the local site. In addition, the method includes selecting, for each of the first and second monitor, a video signal of the plurality of video signals assigned to the monitor, and displaying each selected video signal on its respective monitor.
