  • Uncertainty interval content sensing within communications
    Patent number: 8209175
    Abstract: Repetition of content words in a communication is used to increase the certainty, or, alternatively, reduce the uncertainty, that the content words were actual words from the communication. Reducing the uncertainty of a particular content word of a communication in turn increases the likelihood that the content word is relevant to the communication. Reliable, relevant content words mined from a communication can be used for, e.g., automatic internet searches for documents and/or web sites pertinent to the communication. Reliable, relevant content words mined from a communication can also, or alternatively, be used to automatically generate one or more documents from the communication, e.g., communication summaries, communication outlines, etc.
