  • Publication number: 20220229854
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to evaluating whether two data records reflect the same entity using a classifier in the absence of ground truth. Without ground truth, it is difficult to determine the precision or recall of a classifier. The present disclosure generates a list comprising a series of unique feature signatures and a set of sample record pairs for each unique feature signature. In some embodiments, users may provide labels for the set of sample record pairs for each unique feature signature.

  • Patent number: 10893082
    Abstract: Within a social network, a user may establish a set of contacts who share with the user various content items and comments related thereto. However, these content items are often hosted by a content source outside of the social network, and the user may have to transition to the content source to view the content item, and then transition back to the social network to submit a comment. Instead, a device may monitor the social network to record shared content items. When the user requests a presentation of the content source, the content items hosted by the content source that have been shared with the user may be included in the presentation. The presentation of the content source may also accept comments from the user regarding a content item, and send the comments to the social network where the content item was shared with the user.

  • Patent number: 10509809
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to evaluating whether two data records reflect the same entity using a classifier in the absence of ground truth. Without ground truth, it is difficult to determine the precision or recall of a classifier. The present disclosure generates output data comprising a list of unique signatures generated from a set of records that are compared with each other. The output data may also comprise corresponding record pairs limited to a predetermined sample size for each unique feature signature.

  • Patent number: 9355115
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing a client application with access to a file based upon a local offline version of the file and/or web online version of the file. That is, a file may be shared/synchronized from a remote source, such as a web storage service. A web online version of the file may be maintained by the web storage service, while local offline versions of the file may be stored at client devices. A sync module comprising knowledge of the local and/or web versions of the file may provide a client application with access to the file based upon the local and/or web version of the file. The sync module may also delegate synchronization authorization to the client application given that the client application may comprise sophisticated file handling functionality.

  • Patent number: 8990698
    Abstract: Social network service synchronization techniques are described. In an implementation, a determination is made by a client that a browser has been used to navigate to a website. A prompt is displayed by the client, responsive to the determination, that is selectable to cause data that describes activities that are performable in conjunction with the website to be communicated to a social network service to be stored in conjunction with a user account of the user at the social network service.

  • Publication number: 20140344352
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an internet-accessible resource service may emphasize a recently accessed data object stored in an internet-accessible data storage 124 on a data object list 300. The internet-accessible resource service may maintain a data object list 300 representing a data object set stored in an internet-accessible data storage 124 accessible by a primary user. The internet-accessible resource service may detect an access of a user-focus data object of the data object set. The internet-accessible resource service may execute a reorganization of the data object list 300 to emphasize the user-focus data object.

  • Publication number: 20140289407
    Abstract: In one embodiment, two separate user accounts may share equal ownership of the same internet-accessible resource 124. An internet-accessible resource service 122 may associate a source ownership status 316 for an internet-accessible resource 124 with a source user account owned by a source user. An internet-accessible resource service 122 may associate a target ownership status 366 for the internet-accessible resource 124 with a target user account owned by a target user.
