  • Patent number: 11461388
    Abstract: Generating a playlist may include designating a seed track in an audio library; identifying audio tracks in the audio library having constructs that are within a range of a corresponding construct of the seed track, where the constructs for the audio tracks are derived from frequency representations of the audio tracks, and the corresponding construct for the seed track is derived from a frequency representation of the seed track; and generating the playlist using at least some of the audio tracks that were identified.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170351673
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention allow a user to submit an ambiguous search query and to receive relevant search results. Queries can be expressed using character sets and/or languages that are different from the character set and/or language of at least some of the data that is to be searched. A translation between these character sets and/or languages can be performed by examining the use of terms in aligned text. Probabilities can be associated with each possible translation. Refinements can be made to these probabilities by examining user interactions with the search results.

  • Publication number: 20120047172
    Abstract: A technique includes providing a collection of documents in multiple languages, identifying, from the collection of documents, a group of candidate documents, where each candidate document in the group shares multiple corresponding rare features, evaluating pairs of candidate documents in the group using multiple common features present in the collection of documents, and determining, based on evaluating the pairs of candidate documents, whether each pair of candidate documents corresponds to a translated pair of documents.
