Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for analyzing user interactions with an electronic map. In one aspect, a plurality of records is identified, the records each identifying at least one map segment in a plurality of map segments included in an interactive electronic map. The records can further include map usage data corresponding to the respective map segment identified in the record, the map usage data corresponding to at least one property of at least one presentation of the map segment to a user. Each map segment in the plurality of map segments is scored. Scoring each map segment includes evaluating map usage data corresponding to the map segment against at least one criteria, the criteria adapted to predict a level of user interest in the map segment based on at least one property of at least one presentation of the map segment.

Abstract: Non-deterministic text with average word recognition precision below 50% is processed utilizing non-textual differences between words or sequences of words in the text to provide more useful information to users by resolving more than two decision options. One or more indexes that indicate non-textual differences between n-word sequences, where n is a positive integer, may be generated for use in data mining that considers the non-textual differences. Alternatively, multiple indexes may be generated using different data mining techniques that may or may not utilize non-textual differences and then the results produced by the different data mining techniques may be merged to identify non-textual differences. These techniques may be used in classifying, labeling, categorizing, filtering, clustering, or retrieving documents, or in discovering salient terms in a set of documents.
