Abstract: A previously trained classification model associated with the machine learning system is configured to process an input to generate i) a first prediction that represents a characteristic associated with the input, and ii) a representation of accuracy associated with the prediction. A retraining subsystem is configured to receive the input, the first prediction, and the representation of accuracy. The retraining subsystem processes the input to generate a prediction representing a characteristic. A sufficiency of certainty of the first prediction is determined based on at least the input, the first prediction, the measure of accuracy, and the second prediction. Based at least on the determined sufficiency the retraining subsystem causes the machine learning system to be automatically retrained, be retrained using the input with active learning or not retrained.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying and interacting with a user interface are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises: receiving first content for display on a display surface, displaying the first content at a first area of the display surface, capturing a stroke when written on the display surface over a first portion of the first content, and automatically creating a first page at a second area of the display surface, the second area being different than the first area and displaying the first content with the captured stroke.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for associating strokes with content are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises: a memory to store contexts for a plurality of strokes, wherein each context represents an association between at least one stroke and a portion of image data previously displayed; and a matching module coupled to the memory to: receive an indication of a new stroke to be associated a first image and a first context, determine if the portion the first context is the same as, overlaps or is independent of the contexts stored in the memory, and update the memory to include the new stroke by adding the new stroke to one of the contexts stored in the memory or storing the new stroke with the first context independent of the contexts already stored in the memory.
