Abstract: An object recognition system and method is provided which uses automated algorithmically determined negative training. Negative training with respect to a particular object classifier allows for more streamlined and efficient targeted negative training, enabling time and cost savings while simultaneously improving the accuracy of recognition based on the targeted negative training. According to certain additional aspects, embodiments of the invention relate to a system and method for structuring an object recognition engine to maximize recognition accuracy and emulate human visual cortex.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention pertains to a system and method for targeted intelligent data gathering from web based applications through the use of mobile computing means devices. Such data is used to compile an interest profile for each mobile user, and further build an interest graph of a community of mobile users. The interest graph can further be used, but not limited to, personalization, curated experiences, as well as targeting of advertisements and commercial offers.
