Abstract: A client relationship management (CRM) application can generate a ranked list of client engagement tools by computing a rank score for available client engagement tools and determining an order among the available client engagement tools based on the rank scores. The CRM application can use one or more trained prediction models and business rules to compute a prediction for success for client engagement tools. For example, the CRM application can use three prediction models, one predicting user selection of a client engagement tool from a list of available client engagement tools; one predicting a user's adopting the recommendation in a client engagement tool; and one predicting a client approving a client engagement tool recommendation. The predictions for success can be combined with estimated benefit values for the client engagement tool to compute the client engagement tool rank score.

Abstract: In image processing that performs an image search, user convenience is improved. An image processing apparatus includes a condition designation window display unit that displays a condition designation window which includes condition designation regions by stages for designating search conditions for features of image contents in a plurality of search stages in series relations with one another, and a plurality of tags that designate display states of the condition designation regions by stages as tags corresponding to the plurality of search stages; a search condition setting unit that sets the search conditions in the plurality of search stages in accordance with the designations through the condition designation window; and an image search unit that sequentially performs an image search for the plurality of search stages by using the set search conditions.

Abstract: In image processing that performs an image search, user convenience is improved. An image processing apparatus includes a permitted time setting unit that sets a permitted necessary time for image search, a search condition setting unit that sets the number of search stages in series relations with each other and search conditions in the respective search stages on the basis of the permitted necessary time, and an image search unit that sequentially performs image search for the search stages by using the set search conditions.
