Publication number: 20200301987Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, taste data is generated and usable within one or more applications. A taste is one or more elements that describe an entity. Information of an application may be processed to extract entity data that corresponds to a plurality of candidates to be designated as tastes (taste data). The candidates for the tastes are curated. In examples, the curating comprises filtering the candidates for tastes to remove extracted candidates. Extraction rules for managing structured taste data may be applied in the filtering. A status of a remaining candidate may be determined as approved or rejected based on processing of received user feedback. Taste data may be generated for an approved candidate. The generating of the taste data may comprise assigning parameters that include a descriptor type and a recommendation type. Taste data may be used within an application.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2020Publication date: September 24, 2020Applicant: Foursquare Labs, Inc.Inventors: Matthew J.

Publication number: 20070043610Abstract: An algorithm for analyzing presidential preference opinion polls to arrive at a statistical snapshot of a multistate electoral-vote-allocation political race such as the US presidential race. Multiple opinion polls are used to estimate the outcome probability in individual state races. Polls are used to calculate a probability distribution of all possible electoral vote outcomes. The algorithm includes a method for calculating a median electoral vote estimator at any moment during a campaign. The electoral vote estimator can be tracked over time. The estimation of single-state probability is done using a Bayesian method to correct for sampling biases and systematic errors in polls, thereby allowing correction of the overall estimate. The algorithm calculates the relative value of an individual vote, the jerseyvote, in different states. The jerseyvote valuation aids resource allocation by a political campaign or party, an advocacy organization, or an individual activist.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2006Publication date: February 22, 2007Inventor: Samuel Wang

Publication number: 20060008250Abstract: A number of different subroutines or algorithms are provided for locating lost video data, reconstructing navigation data, and creating new navigation files or the like so that the DVD may be made readable by an ordinary DVD player. The present invention provides algorithms to recover video data for each of a number of different DVD formats, so that video data may be recovered regardless of which format DVD was being used at the time (e.g., DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD?RW, DVD?R, or the like). In addition, the present invention provides a number of other algorithms that be used by one or more of the different recovery algorithms, to recover various aspects of data from a disc. The combination of these algorithms provides a complete package of data recovery techniques that allows for video data to be recovered in the event of a power loss or other interruption, and in most instances, creates recordable DVD which may be subsequently read by other DVD players and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2004Publication date: January 12, 2006Inventor: Samuel Wang
