Patent number: 8788498Abstract: Described is a technology for obtaining labeled sample data. Labeling guidelines are converted into binary yes/no questions regarding data samples. The questions and data samples are provided to judges who then answer the questions for each sample. The answers are input to a label assignment algorithm that associates a label with each sample based upon the answers. If the guidelines are modified and previous answers to the binary questions are maintained, at least some of the previous answers may be used in re-labeling the samples in view of the modification.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2009Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anitha Kannan, Krishnaram Kenthapadi, John C. Shafer, Ariel Fuxman

Patent number: 8751504Abstract: For providing procedures, a synchronize module stores a plurality of procedures in a procedure database. Each procedure is indexed to a reference code. The synchronize module synchronizes the plurality of procedures to a mobile device. A retrieval module receives a first reference code at the mobile device and retrieves a first procedure indexed to the first reference code.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: ESC Apps, LLCInventor: Jimi Michalscheck

Publication number: 20140129558Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for timeline-based social media data visualization. The mechanism receives social media data from at least one social media server. The mechanism filters the social media data to identify a plurality of social media posts related to a time-based event. The mechanism assigns the plurality of social media posts into a plurality of time periods within a timeline of the time-based event. The mechanism generates a timeline-based data visualization presenting the plurality of social media posts in relation to the timeline of the time-based event and presents the timeline-based data visualization.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2012Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Philip F.

Publication number: 20140108404Abstract: Techniques for license reconciliation with multiple license types and restrictions includes grouping a collection of multiple software installation instances, a collection of multiple hardware devices and a collection of multiple software licenses into multiple clusters, generating a reconciliation matrix for each cluster, wherein each row in the reconciliation matrix represents a software installation instance or a hardware device, each column in the reconciliation matrix represents a license type and/or an individual license, and each cell in the reconciliation matrix represents a license requirement and applicability of each software installation instance or hardware device, solving each reconciliation matrix, and generating a license reconciliation plan based on the solved reconciliation matrices.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2012Publication date: April 17, 2014Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Han Chen, Hui Lei, Liangzhao Zeng, Zhe Zhang

Publication number: 20140108408Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for maintaining a topic collection. That is, a topic collection (e.g., a vacation topic collection) may be created for a user, such that the user may store content associated with various applications (e.g., images from a social network app, vacation blogs, hotel price lists, sightseeing websites, etc.) as one or more entries within the topic collection. In this way, the user may easily organize, review, and/or share content through the topic collection. Recommendations of supplement content, which may be relevant to the topic collection, may be provided to the user. For example, entries within vacation topic collections of other users (e.g., to similar destinations) may be identified as supplemental content and recommended to the user. In this way, the user may accomplish a search task by organizing content into a single source.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2012Publication date: April 17, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Timothy Edgar, John Licata, Chen Fang

Publication number: 20140101157Abstract: Deterministic Finite Automatons (DFAs) and Nondeterministic Finite Automatons (NFAs) are two typical automatons used in the Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). Although they both perform regular expression matching, they have quite different performance and memory usage properties. DFAs provide fast and deterministic matching performance but suffer from the well-known state explosion problem. NFAs are compact, but their matching performance is unpredictable and with no worst case guarantee. A new automaton representation of regular expressions, called Tunable Finite Automaton (TFA), is described. TFAs resolve the DFAs' state explosion problem and the NFAs' unpredictable performance problem. Different from a DFA, which has only one active state, a TFA allows multiple concurrent active states. Thus, the total number of states required by the TFA to track the matching status is much smaller than that required by the DFA.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2012Publication date: April 10, 2014Inventors: H.
