Publication number: 20140310613Abstract: Content may be captured in form of clippings and clipping metadata utilized to provide various features and services. Data may be imported from other sources. For example, search engine(s) may be used to annotate clippings with additional data. Clippings may be dragged into a document, made available through various platforms such as social networks, professional networks, messaging, and comparable ones. A clipping service may be provided to individual or groups of users accessible through thick or thin clients.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2013Publication date: October 16, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eran Megiddo, David Rasmussen, Peter Leonard, Christopher Pratley

Publication number: 20140281951Abstract: On computing devices, the implementation as a service or as a hosted application responsive to user intent automatically allows for correction of grammatical and stylistic issues in collaboratively or individually created content. The performance of automated fact-checking provides users with amended data and quotations along with the source, based on search engine input. Focused and automation rich productivity solutions provide benefits when an understanding of user intent is available.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eran Megiddo, Peter Leonard

Publication number: 20120151377Abstract: A collaborative project management system is provided to create a project workspace linking together various work-product items including e-mails, documents and tasks based on the identification and association of related information contained in such items. A new project workspace may contain groups of documents, correspondence such as emails, instant message and web chatting, tasks, and other data types linked together by common content topics. The system may initiate a new project workspace based on information contained in an initial correspondence, such as an email conversation, by identifying items that are related to the email conversation such as tasks or documents that a user creates or shares subsequent to receipt of an email or message, and automatically inferring an association based on their contents.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2010Publication date: June 14, 2012Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Tracy Schultz, Jeffrey Kohler, Nina Shih, Nino Yuniardi, Eli Tamanaha, Isaac Jacobsen, Steven Geffner, Peter Leonard, Gary Caldwell

Publication number: 20100290992Abstract: The present invention concerns the field of nanoparticle bioconjugates which form an i-motif or an i-motif related structure (compositions) without or with at least one further nucleic acid binding compound. The i-motif base pairs can be charged or non-charged. Their assembly can be controlled by the pH value or temperature. At least one of these nucleic acid binding compounds has to be attached at least to a nanoparticle. The methods provide compositions used for DNA driven programmable nanoparticle assemblies, electronic circuits, diagnostic detection tools, biosensors, memory storage devices, diagnostic devices for biomolecule sequencing and detection, drug delivery, application in tumour diagnostics and treatment, nanomachines, nanofabrication, nanocatalysis, nanoarrays, and nanoscaled enzyme reactors.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2009Publication date: November 18, 2010Inventors: Frank Seela, Simone Budow, Peter Leonard

Publication number: 20060047617Abstract: A human assisted method of debugging training data used to train a machine learning classifier is provided. The method includes obtaining a classifier training data set. The training data set is then debugged using an integrated debugging tool configured to implement a debugging loop to obtain a debugged data set. The debugging tool can be configured to perform an estimation and simplification step to reduce data noise in the training data set prior to further analysis. The debugging tool also runs a panel of prediction-centric diagnostic metrics on the training data set, and provides the user prediction based listings of the results of the panel of prediction-centric diagnostic metrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2004Publication date: March 2, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ana Bacioiu, David Sauntry, James Boyle, Leon Wong, Peter Leonard, Raman Chandrasekar

Publication number: 20050203934Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing query logs is provided. Multiple levels of user-specifiable compression include character-based compression, token-based compression, and subsumption. An efficient method for performing subsumption is also provided. The compressed query logs are then used to train a statistical process such as a help function for a computer operating system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Scott Meredith, Peter Leonard, Hsiao-Wuen Hon
