Abstract: At least one processing device, operating upon a body of text in a document, identifies occurrences of at least one content type in the body of text. The at least one processing device thereafter generates a user interface that includes portions of text from the body of text that are representative of at least some of the occurrences of the at least one content type in the document. For each content type, the occurrences corresponding to that content type can be grouped together to provide grouped content type occurrences that are subsequently collocated in the user interface. Those portions of text corresponding to the grouped content type occurrences may be arranged in alphanumeric order. The user interface may comprise at least a portion of the body of text as well as indicia indicating instances of the occurrences within the portion of the body of text.

Abstract: A system for controlling vehicle functions based on monitored driving performance includes one or more sensors that capture performance-based data characterizing driving-performance implicating behaviors of a driving team during one or more driving campaigns. The performance-based data is analyzed according to one or more performance indicators to determine a compatibility score for the driving team that characterizes how driving team composition affects driving performance. One or more vehicle functions can then be controlled one or more vehicle functions based on compatibility scores for various driving teams.

Abstract: Each of a plurality of content matchers is executed upon a body of text in a document, identifying at least one match in the text and additionally assigning a match strength for each match. Where a conflict between a first match (have a first match strength associated therewith) and a second match (having a second match strength associated therewith) is noted, it is determined whether either of the first or the second match strength is greater than the other. If so, that match of the first and second matches corresponding to the lesser of the first and second match strengths is discarded. If the first or second match strengths are equal, then respective matcher ranks of the first matcher and the second matcher are compared such that the match of the first and second matches corresponding to the lesser of the first and second matcher ranks is discarded.

Abstract: At least two processing device-implemented company name recognition components, operating upon a body of text in a document, identify at least one company name occurrence in the body of text based at least in part on a company identifier list. The company name recognition techniques implemented by each of the at least two company name recognition components are different from each other. The at least one company name occurrence is used to update the company identifier list. The updated company identifier list is then used by the at least two company name recognition components to identify at least one additional name occurrence in the same body of text. This process of repeatedly identifying occurrences of company names in the body of text and updating the company identifier list is performed until such time that no further company name occurrences are identified in the body of text.
