Abstract: Techniques are presented for producing demographics, in an automated fashion, from a search result of computer-accessible content. While the demographics can be determined for a research product that has been produced by any technique, they are particularly useful when applied to an automated frame-based search approach. Frame-based search engines are presented for technology profiling, healthcare-related search and brand research. Determination of a demographic proceeds at two levels: member and population. At the member level, a demographic characteristic can be determined applicable with either total or partial certainty. Each value assigned by a demographic, to a population member, has a confidence level associated with it and the assignments can be represented by a Confidence Distribution. Summarization of a demographic, at the population level, depends upon whether the certainty assignments, at the member level, are total or partial. Declarant Demographics are presented.

Abstract: Unique copies of an original document can be generated and provided to individual recipients. The unique copies can be used to identify the source of a document leak.

The output alternative terms are provided to a second machine learning model that indicates a tone for each alternative term. The tone of the alternative terms is compared to the tone of the term from the original document, and one or more of the alternative terms are selected based on the tone of the alternative terms relative to the tone of the document term. The alternative terms used to generate the unique copies have a same or similar tone as the document term.
