Abstract: Co-occurrence data representing e.g. preferences and facts observed in a plurality of situations may be stored in a matrix as combinations of high-dimensional sparse vectors. The matrix may be called e.g. as an experience matrix. The data stored in the experience matrix may be subsequently utilized e.g. for predicting a preference of a user in a new situation.

Abstract: A mobile computing apparatus including a processor wherein the processor is configured to host a set of one or more applications. The processor is configured to receive a message from a first application in the hosted set of one or more applications, wherein the received message indicates a user action. The processor determines if the user action is in a predetermined set of user actions, and when the user action is in the predetermined set of user actions, an intercepted message is created comprising a copy of the received message. The processor is configured to broadcast the intercepted message to one or more applications in the set of hosted applications that are configured to receive the intercepted message.

Abstract: The invention relates to predictive browsing. A set of words for use with an experience matrix are formed, wherein the words are descriptive of a context of a system such as a current web page, and wherein said experience matrix comprises sparse vectors associated with words. At least a part of at least one sparse vector of said experience matrix is accessed to form a prediction output, and suggestions of web pages are provided to a user in response to said prediction output.

Abstract: The invention relates to determining a context of a system so that the system can be controlled or the context information be used in the system. The context of a system is described with tags or words that characterize e.g. the state of the system, the surroundings of the system and the state of the user. These tags are determined at multiple time instances. The tags are collected over a first time span and a second time span, and the two (or more) sets of tags are used to determine the context of the system. If the determination using the two sets gives a different result, that is, there is a large distance between the two derived contexts, it is determined that a change in context has occurred. Detecting the change in context can be used to control the system, e.g. by changing the applications presented to the user on the user interface, or by changing the state and/or priority of applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to forming a prediction using an experience matrix, a matrix based on sparse vectors such as random index vectors. At least a part of a first experience matrix and at least a part of at least a second experience matrix are caused to be combined (1410) to obtain a combined experience matrix. The experience matrices comprise sparse vectors or essentially similar vectors in nature, and said experience matrices comprise information of at least one system, for example contexts of a system. At least a part of at least one sparse vector of the combined experience matrix is accessed to form a prediction output (1420), and a system is controlled (1430) in response to said prediction output.

Abstract: Co-occurrence data representing e.g. preferences and facts observed in a plurality of situations may be stored in a matrix as combinations of high-dimensional sparse vectors. The matrix may be called e.g. as an experience matrix. The data stored in the experience matrix may be subsequently utilized e.g. for predicting a preference of a user in a new situation. A prediction may be determined by a method comprising providing a query comprising one or more query words, accessing the experience matrix containing co-occurrence data stored as vectors of the experience matrix, determining a first auxiliary vector by identifying a vector of the experience matrix associated with a first query word, forming a query vector by using the first auxiliary vector, and determining the prediction by comparing the query vector with the vectors of the experience matrix.
