Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for evaluating substitute terms. One of the methods includes selecting a first term and a second term. A first co-occurrence frequency is determined for co-occurring terms in search queries that include the first term. A first vector is generated for the first term using the first co-occurrence frequencies. A second co-occurrence frequency is determined for the co-occurring terms in the search queries that include the first term adjacent to the second term. A second vector is generated for the second term using the second co-occurrence frequencies. A score for the second term as a context for a substitution rule based on the first term is computed, wherein the score is based on a comparison between the first vector and the second vector.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for evaluating substitute terms. One of the methods includes selecting a first term and a candidate substitute term for the first term. A first vector is generated for the first term using co-occurrence frequencies of terms that occur in search queries that include the first term. A second vector is generated for the candidate substitute term using co-occurrence frequencies of terms that occur in search queries that include the candidate substitute term. The first vector and the second vector are compared to score an association between the first term and the candidate substitute term.

Abstract: A bi-stable active matrix (AM) display apparatus and a method for driving a display panel thereof are provided. The bi-stable AM display apparatus includes a bi-stable AM display panel, a scan driver, a data driver and a controller. A frame period is divided into a resetting phase and a determining phase. The controller resets pixels on a plurality of scan lines of the bi-stable AM display panel to a homotropic state in the resetting phase through the scan driver and the data driver. The controller writes frame information into the pixels on the scan lines in the determining phase through the scan driver and the data driver.

The transmissive and reflective pixels are stabilized in two different liquid crystal configurations with different birefringences. The light retardation effect of one path in the transmissive pixels is close to or equals the retardation effect of two paths in the reflective pixels, resulting in synchronization of the two modes.
