  • Publication number: 20080131006
    Abstract: A pure adversarial optical character recognition (OCR) approach in identifying text content in images. An image and a search term are input to a pure adversarial OCR module, which searches the image for presence of the search term. The image may be extracted from an email by an email processing engine. The OCR module may split the image into several character-blocks that each has a reasonable probability of containing a character (e.g., an ASCII character). The OCR module may form a sequence of blocks that represent a candidate match to the search term and calculate the similarity of the candidate sequence to the search term. The OCR module may be configured to output whether or not the search term is found in the image and, if applicable, the location of the search term in the image.

  • Publication number: 20080131005
    Abstract: An adversarial approach in detecting inappropriate text content in images. An expression from a listing of expressions may be selected. The listing of expressions may include words, phrases, or other textual content indicative of a particular type of message. Using the selected expression as a reference, the image is searched for a section that could be similar to the selected expression. The similarity between the selected expression and the section of the image may be in terms of shape. The section may be scored against the selected expression to determine how well the selected expression matches the section. The score may be used to determine whether or not the selected expression is present in the image.

  • Patent number: 6845374
    Abstract: Network system provides a real-time adaptive recommendation set of documents with a high statistical measure of relevancy to the requestor device. The recommendation set is optimized based on analyzing text of documents of the interest set, categorizing these documents into clusters, extracting keywords representing the themes or concepts of documents in the clusters, and filtering a population of eligible documents accessible to the system utilizing site and or Internet-wide search engines. The system is either automatically or manually invoked and it develops and presents the recommendation set in real-time. The recommendation set may be presented as a greeting, notification, alert, HTML fragment, fax, voicemail, or automatic classification or routing of customer e-mail, personal e-mail, job postings, and offers for sale or exchange.
