Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for researching online reviews to assess the performance and functionality of digital media consumer products bought online or not (e.g. eBooks, movies, TV shows, music, DVD's, etc.). The system extracts reviews from multiple online sources, including online “stores”, professional articles, blogs, online magazines, websites, etc.; and, utilizes sentiment analysis algorithms and supervised machine learning analysis to present more informative summaries for each product's reviews, wherein each summary includes a sentence that encapsulates a sentiment held by many users; the most positive and negative comments; and a list of features with average scores (e.g. performance, price, etc.). Additionally, the user may view a separate review detail page per product that provides further summaries, such as a short list of other products that the same reviewer gave a very positive review for the features. The user is then able to purchase the product via a link.

Abstract: A method for predicting fuel consumption for a vehicle may include (1) receiving a starting location and a desired destination; (2) determining a route between the starting location and desired destination; (3) generating a drive cycle for the route, the drive cycle comprising; (a) receiving historical acceleration data for the vehicle, the historical acceleration data comprising one histogram for each of a given type of road; (b) dividing the route into a plurality of discrete segments; (c) determining a predicted average velocity for each discrete segment; (d) simulating a drive cycle step with the historical acceleration data and predicted average velocity for each discrete segment; and (e) creating a velocity and an acceleration profile from the simulated drive cycle for each discrete segment from the route; and (4) predicting a fuel consumption amount based on the velocity and acceleration profiles from the generated drive cycle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting fuel consumption for a vehicle for a route from an origination point to a desired destination are described. The method uses contextual driving mapping information and information related the vehicle to estimate the fuel consumption along segments of the route. Each of the segments may be added together to estimate the fuel consumption along the entire route.

Abstract: The disclosed invention performs a set of operations on an email to analyze the text and generate a coherent summary. Email summaries are generated by applying a coherence layer after a ranking process. Analyzing how sentences relate to each other via discourse markers and other linguistic devices aids in enhancing coherence of the email summaries. Output summaries are more coherent and easier to understand because they mimic the flow of ideas contained in the original message instead of merely being a collection of extracted sentences. Tasks may also be extracted from the text of the email to assist users in keeping track of tasks that they receive via email.

Abstract: Systems and methods for appending one or more graphics to a digital message are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for appending one or more graphic to a digital message may include (1) receiving a digital message; (2) applying natural language processing to the digital image by at least one computer processor; (3) appending one or more graphic to the digital message based at least in part on the natural language processing; and (4) outputting the digital message with one or more appended graphic.

Abstract: Systems and methods for summarizing online articles for consumption on a user device are disclosed herein. The system extracts the main body of an article's text from the HTML code of an online article. The system may then classify the extracted article into one of several different categories and removes duplicate articles. The system breaks down the article into its component sentences, and each sentence is classified into one of three categories: (1) potential candidate sentences that may be included in the generated summary; (2) weakly rejected sentences that will not be included in the summary but may be used to generate the summary; and (3) strongly rejected sentences that are not included in the summary. Finally, the system applies a document summarizer to generate quickly readable article summaries, for viewing on the user device, using relevant sentences from the article while maintaining the coherence of the article.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product (e.g. mobile App) and/or web-based service is provided to enable users to research online reviews in order to assess the performance and functionality of mobile applications. The system extracts reviews from multiple online sources, including: mobile Apps “stores”, blogs, online magazines, websites, etc.; and, utilizes sentiment analysis algorithms and supervised machine learning analysis to present more informative summaries for each App's reviews. Summaries may include: a sentence that encapsulates a sentiment held by many users; the most positive and negative comments; and a list of features with average scores (e.g. graphics, fun, easy to use, etc.). Additionally, the user may view a separate review detail page per App that provides further summaries, such as a short list of other Apps that the same reviewer gave a very positive review for the features. The user is then able to purchase and download the App via a link.
