An inverted index generated on a first set of documents is queried using the set of token sets to determine a set of document identifiers for a subset of the documents in the first set. A second set of documents identified by the set of document identifiers is retrieved from the first set of documents. The second set of documents is filtered to include one or more documents of the second set that each includes a match with at least one entity string of the list of entity strings. Entity recognition may be performed on the filtered second set of documents.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2014Publication date: November 27, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Sanjay Agrawal, Kaushik Chakrabarti, Surajit Chaudhuri, Venkatesh Ganti

Patent number: 8892562Abstract: A computer implemented system and method are provided for refining category scores for pages of a sequence of document pages that potentially includes document boundaries. The method uses initial category scores provided by a categorizer that considers one page at a time or concatenated pairs of pages (called bipages). The category scores represent the probability that a page belongs to a particular category. The method uses anisotropic diffusion to refine the initial page category scores using the scores of neighboring pages as a function of the probability that there is a boundary between the pages. The method may be performed iteratively.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jean-Michel Renders, François Ragnet, Damien Cramet

Patent number: 8892578Abstract: Many software applications allow users to consume and interact with a variety of data, such as files, photos, web pages, emails, and/or other content. Because the amount of content may be cumbersome to sift through, software applications may provide filtering and searching capabilities to aid users in finding desired content. However, the trial and error involved in current searching techniques may be time consuming and/or diminish the user's experience. Accordingly, one or more systems and/or techniques for presenting visual previews of search results are disclosed herein. In particular, a user may reference an identifier (e.g., “Bill”) that may be used as search criteria to retrieve corresponding objects (e.g., photos of Bill). A visual preview of the retrieved objects may be presented to the user. The user may quickly view visual previews of search results by referencing various identifiers without committing to a particular search result set.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Michael F.

Patent number: 8886580Abstract: Aggregate scoring is used to help classify digital content such as content uploaded to multi-user websites (e.g., social networking websites). In one embodiment, specific categories are used that relate to a social implication of content. For example, text, images, audio or other data formats can provide communication perceived to fall into categories such as violent, abusive, rights management, pornographic or other types of communication. The categories are used to provide a raw score to items in various groupings of a site's content. Where items are related to other items such as by organizational, social, legal, data-driven, design methods, or by other principles or definitions, the related items' raw scores are aggregated to achieve a score for a particular grouping of items that reflects, at least in part, scores from two or more of the related items.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Lithium Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pierre Grenier, Eddie Lo, Satinderpal Sandhu
