Abstract: A technique to construct a cohesive document is described including accessing a communication system having a plurality of social media message units accessible; collecting a plurality of related social media message units among users over a predetermined period of time; outputting to a single file the plurality of related social media message units when the file reaches a predetermined size to construct a cohesive document; and outputting to a single file a plurality of related social media message units after a maximum predetermined period of time to construct a different cohesive document.

Abstract: A system facilitates the browsing of information of interest. The system obtains a transcription of the information and provides the transcription to a user. The system also retrieves the information in its original format and presents the information to the user in the original format.

Abstract: A system improves recognition results. The system receives multimedia data and recognizes the multimedia data based on training data to generate documents. The system receives user augmentation relating to one of the documents or new documents from a user. The system supplements the training data with the user augmentation or new documents and retrains based on the supplemented training data.

Abstract: A system facilitates the searching and retrieval of multimedia data items. The system receives data items from different types of media sources and identifies regions in the data items. The regions include document regions, section regions, and passage regions. Each of the section regions corresponds to one of the document regions and each of the passage regions corresponds to one of the section regions and one of the document regions. The system stores document identifiers that relate to the document regions in separate document records in a document table, section identifiers that relate to the section regions in separate section records in a section table, and passage identifiers that relate to the passage regions in separate passage records in a passage table.

Abstract: A system provides document browsing by proper name. The system identifies a subset of documents from a set of documents (310). The documents in the subset of documents include proper names. The system receives a selection of at least one of the proper names from the subset of documents (330) and searches the subset of documents to identify one or more of the documents in the subset of documents that include at least one occurrence of the selected proper name(s) (360). The system then presents the one or more of the documents as a result of the search (370).

Abstract: A system (520) generates labels for clusters of documents. The system (520) identifies topics associated with the documents in the clusters and determines whether the topics are associated with approximately half or more of the documents in the clusters. The system (520) then generates labels for the clusters using the topics that are associated with approximately half or more of the documents in the clusters.

Abstract: A system facilitates the browsing of information of interest. The system obtains a transcription of the information and provides the transcription to a user. The system also retrieves the information in its original format and presents the information to the user in the original format. The system visually synchronizes the presentation of the information in the original format with the transcription of the information.
