Patent number: 11238225Abstract: Examples associated with reading difficulty level based resource recommendation are disclosed. One example may involve instructions stored on a computer readable medium. The instructions, when executed on a computer, may cause the computer to obtain a set of candidate resources related to a source document. The candidate resources may be obtained based on content extracted from the source document. The instructions may also cause the computer to identify reading difficulty levels of members of the set of candidate resources. The instructions may also cause the computer to recommend a selected candidate resource to a user. The selected candidate resource may be recommended based on subject matter similarity between the selected candidate resource and the source document. The selected candidate resource may also be recommended based on reading difficulty level similarity between the selected candidate resource and the source document.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2015Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Lei Liu, Georgia Koutrika, Jerry J Liu

Patent number: 10891334Abstract: A learning graph is generated for documents according to a sequencing approach. The learning graph includes nodes corresponding to the documents and edges. Each edge connects two of the nodes and indicates a sequencing relationship between two of the documents to which the two of the nodes correspond that specifies an order in which the two of the documents are to be reviewed in satisfaction of the learning goal. The learning graph is a directed graph specifying a learning path through the documents to achieve a learning goal in relation to a subject.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2013Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Georgia Koutrika, Lei Liu, Jerry J.

Patent number: 10417338Abstract: Systems and methods associated with external resource identification are disclosed. One example method may be embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions. The instructions, when executed by a computer may cause the computer to perform the method. The method includes classifying a segment of a document into a member of a set of topics discussed within the document. The method also includes identifying, based on the structure of the segment and keywords from the segment, information that a reader of the document could seek upon reading the segment. The method also includes obtaining, based on the member of the set of topics, a set of candidate external resources that potentially contain the information. The method also includes presenting, in response to a user interaction with the document, a member of the set of candidate external resources identified as being likely to contain the information.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2014Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Lei Liu, Georgia Koutrika, Jerry J Liu

Patent number: 9405750Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure may include methods, systems, and computer readable media with executable instructions. An example method for determining document structure similarity can include segmenting path sequences (206) of Document Object Model (DOM) trees (120, 462) from a number of web pages (202) into B components (561). Path signals (210) corresponding to the path sequences (206) are determined based on a count of the occurrences of particular paths in the Bthe component (571), and unique path signals (210) are transformed into discrete wavelet signals (214)(572). The discrete wavelet signals (214) are analyzed at multiple DOM tree resolution levels (573).Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2011Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Li-Mei Jiao, Jerry J.

Patent number: 8914018Abstract: In a communication network architecture including mobile equipment that employs multiple functions selectable for use by the user, the functions having respective measurable parameters, a service provider monitors the user's behavior with, and use of, the mobile equipment. An agent, such as software installed on-board the mobile equipment, measures parameters that are related to the user's behavior and use of the mobile equipment, and communicates the measured parameters to the service provider, over the communication network. The agent detects change of such user behavior and use, and accordingly changes parameters to measure and report on.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2006Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Keysight Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Lance A.

Patent number: 8819028Abstract: A method and system for extracting Web content is disclosed. In one embodiment, Web content in a Webpage is extracted by identifying paragraphs in the Web content based on line-break node determination.

Patent number: 8762076Abstract: Probe configuration is achieved in a measurement system in which probes are given possible configuration data depending upon conditions in an area relevant to the area of the probe. The possible probe configurations include global boundaries, such as time, and each probe then, based upon the possible configurations, selects a configuration. In one embodiment, the probe may interact with a central processor to further define the probe configuration. In one embodiment, probes may communicate with other probes, both to help define their operating environment and to optionally provide configuration data to another probe.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2005Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: JDS Uniphase CorporationInventors: Glenn R.
