Abstract: Discrete sets of data are divided into collections in accordance with strata delineated along multiple dimensions of data. Each dimension of data represents criteria to be evaluated and the stratification of a dimension is based on a distribution of the discrete sets of data along such a dimension. Once divided into the multidimensional strata, one or more discrete sets of data are randomly selected from each stratum and are provided to human judges to generate corresponding classifications of such a discrete set of data. Such human-generated classifications are compared with computer-generated classifications associated with the same discrete sets of data for purposes of evaluating the computer-implemented functionality generating such classifications. Such human-generated classifications are also associated with the corresponding discrete sets of data for purposes of training, and thereby improving, computer-implemented functionality.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for scheduling is disclosed. The method may include g a service for which a scheduling strategy is to be applied, selecting the scheduling to be applied to the service selected, selecting an action to be applied to the selected accessing a calendar related to the selected service, in view of the service selected, g the constraints to be applied as required by the scheduling strategy and returning a applying the constraints.

Abstract: In a user interface method, an electronic form is displayed to a user, the electronic form to allow the user to gather information. An event associated with the electronic form is detected. A context is determined based on the detected event. Information relevant to the context is retrieved from a database, and the displayed electronic form is modified to allow the electronic form to display to the user the information relevant to the context.
