The matrix relates to the set of unstructured documents. A plurality of rows in the vocabulary indices matrix are matched to generate a plurality of clusters for the set of unstructured documents.

Abstract: Technology for choosing a test format or a test taker based at least in part upon how well, and/or how poorly, that test-taker has performed on that test format in the past. Also, technology applicable to a situation where a test includes multiple portions in multiple different formats, where the different portions of the test are weighted differently depending upon how well, or how poorly, the test-taker as respectively performed on the multiple different formats in the past. Some embodiments of the present invention may increase test taker grades by aligning test format with the respective talents of various test takers. Other embodiments may decrease test-taker grades by weighting heavily grades on test portions in test formats unfavorable to the respective test-takers.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and program products for delivering items to users are disclosed. The methods may include determining a location of a first user, where the first user purchased a first item stored at a first item location. The methods may also include generating a delivery itinerary including the first item to be delivered to the first user at the first user's location. Additionally, the methods may include identifying a second item, where the second item may be associated with a second user. Furthermore, the methods may include determining a second user's location, and comparing the first user's location with the second user's location. If the locations are the same, the delivery itinerary may be updated to include the first item to be delivered to the first user, and the second item to be delivered to the second user.
