  • Patent number: 11860951
    Abstract: A request to send a file is received. A file type for the file is identified. For example, the file type may a Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) file or a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. In response to receiving the request to send the file and identifying the file type for the file, a format of the file is reordered. Reordering the format of the file is based on an application and/or an application type that will be receiving the file. For example, the application may be an Adobe Acrobat® reader that is receiving a PDF file that has been reordered for more efficient reading.

  • Publication number: 20220358094
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for reverse decompression. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for reverse decompression includes receiving encoded and compressed input data in a form of one or more data blocks and locating an end of block marker for a last block of the one or more data blocks of the input data. The method also includes traversing the input data, bit by bit, in a reverse direction starting from a last bit of the end of block marker of the last block of the one or more data blocks of the input data towards a beginning of the input data, determining if one block of the one or more blocks of the input data can be designated as a valid block, designating the one block as a valid block and decompressing the valid block in a forward direction.

  • Patent number: 11048934
    Abstract: Identification of augmented features based on a Bayesian analysis of a text document is disclosed. One example is a system including a document processing module, a feature processing module, and a feature generation module. The document processing module receives a text document via a processor. The feature processing module automatically identifies, based on a Bayesian analysis of the text document, a plurality of augmented features in the text document, the plurality of augmented features including at least one of local, sectional, and document-level features of the text document, and extracts, via the processor, the identified plurality of augmented features from the text document. The feature generation module generates, via the processor, a feature representation of the text document based on the extracted plurality of augmented features.

  • Patent number: 10713329
    Abstract: In some examples, a system performs language processing of text of an information page to determine whether the text refers to an online resource, and in response to determining that the text refers to the online resource, identify the text as an implicit reference to the online resource. The system derives a link to the online resource based on the implicit reference, the derived link useable in accessing the online resource.

  • Patent number: 10698876
    Abstract: According to examples, an index of entries may be retrieved, in which each of the entries may correspond to phrases that are analogous to other phrases in content on a network. A plurality of phrases that are similar to the entries in the index may be identified in a content accessed on the apparatus and a determination may be made, based on a user interaction with the accessed content via a user interface, that the user has read a first phrase in the plurality of phrases. The index may be updated to indicate that the user has read the first phrase and, based on the updated index, a second phrase in a subsequently accessed content that is similar to the first phrase may be determined. In addition, the second phrase in the subsequently accessed content may be displayed differently from other displayed phrases in the subsequently accessed content.

  • Publication number: 20200134096
    Abstract: In some examples, a system accesses, in response to a search received from a first entity, a model derived from documents produced by the first entity or a group of entities comprising the first entity during operation of the first entity or the group of entities, the model comprising indications of importance of terms extracted from the documents. The system returns a search result that is based on the query and on the model.

  • Patent number: 10262458
    Abstract: Techniques associated with three-dimensional object modeling are described in various implementations. In one example implementation, a method may include receiving a plurality of two-dimensional images depicting views of an object to be modeled in three dimensions. The method may also include, processing the plurality of two-dimensional images to generate a three-dimensional representation of the object, and analyzing the three-dimensional representation of the object to determine whether sufficient visual information exists in the plurality of two-dimensional images to generate a three-dimensional model of the object. The method may also include, in response to determining that sufficient visual information does not exist for a portion of the object, identifying the portion of the object to a user.
