Abstract: Entity extraction is performed using a voting ensemble approach to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of entity extraction processes. Voting ensemble weights are stored. In turn, a prediction value for a first entity is determined from multiple models that are specifically trained for entity extraction. A plurality of first entity prediction values is obtained. The model with the highest prediction value among the plurality of first entity prediction values is then selected.

Abstract: A pointer tool in a touch-screen display is disclosed. The method includes activating a pointer tool in a touch screen display in response to contact with an area of the touch screen and persisting the displaying of the pointer tool in the touch screen display after the contact with the touch screen is removed. Once editing data is received, the pointer tool is removed from the touch screen display.

Abstract: The described embodiments allow for the selection of content in a touch screen display. The method includes detecting a single tap on a word of text in a text editing field in a touch screen, and responsive to the single tap selecting the word of text in whole. In another embodiment additional content can be selected. Contact with selected content displayed in a touch screen can be detected. The contact with the touch screen can be detected moving in a direction along the selected content. Additional content is selected by selecting a word of text adjacent to the selected content being contacted.
