Abstract: The author ranking technique described herein is a technique to rank authors in social media systems along various dimensions, using a variety of statistical methods for utilizing those dimensions. More particularly, the technique ranks authors in social media systems through a combination of statistical techniques that leverage usage metrics, and social and topical graph characteristics. In various exemplary embodiments, the technique can rank author authority by the following: 1) temporal analysis of link sharing in which authority is computed based on a user's propensity to provide early links to web pages that subsequently become popular; 2) topical authority based on the author's links and content updates in specific topic areas; and 3) popularity and influence based on nodal properties of authors.

Abstract translation: 本文描述的作者排名技术是使用各种统计方法来利用这些维度来对各社会媒体系统中的作者进行各种维度的技术。 更具体地说，该技术通过结合利用使用度量的统计技术以及社会和局部图形特征来对社交媒体系统中的作者进行排名。 在各种示例性实施例中，该技术可以通过以下方式对作者权限进行排名：1）基于用户提供对随后变得流行的网页的早期链接的倾向来计算权限的链路共享的时间分析; 2）基于作者在特定主题领域的链接和内容更新的专题权威; 和3）基于作者的节点属性的人气和影响。

Abstract: Systems and methods to predict bidding behaviour are described. The system identifies a listing that includes listing information that describes an item that is being auctioned on a network-based marketplace. The system further identifies bid classification information based on the number of bids received for the item. Finally, the system predicts whether no more bids are expected to be received for the item based on the classification information.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for presenting supplemental search results having indications that identified documents have been endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user are provided. A search query is received and it is determined that the user's social networking data is available. Documents that have been endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user are searched to identify those that satisfy the input search query. The satisfying documents are assigned a relevance score to determine whether each satisfying document is relevant enough to be shown and to determine placement of the document on the SERP relative to standard search results. Upon rendering of the SERP, a supplemental search result identifying documents that were endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user is presented, as is an indication about which social network connection(s) of the user endorsed the document.

Abstract: Search results may include both objective results and person results. In one example, a search query is evaluated to determine whether it is the type of query that a user might want to ask to a friend. If the query is of such a type, then the search engine may examine a social graph to determine which friends of the user who entered the query may have information that is relevant to answering the query. If such friends exist, then the friends may be displayed along with objective search results, along with an explanation of each friend's relevance to the query. Clicking on a person in the results may cause a conversation to be initiated with that person, thereby allowing the user who entered the query to ask his or her friend about the subject of the query.

Abstract translation: 搜索结果可能包括客观结果和个人结果。 在一个示例中，评估搜索查询以确定用户可能想要向朋友询问的查询的类型。 如果查询是类似的，则搜索引擎可以检查社交图来确定输入查询的用户的哪些朋友可能具有与回答查询相关的信息。 如果存在这样的朋友，那么朋友可以与客观的搜索结果一起显示，以及每个朋友对查询的相关性的解释。 点击结果中的某人可能会导致与该人发起对话，从而允许输入查询的用户向其或朋友询问查询的主题。

Abstract: Apparatus and methods allocate I/O bandwidth of an electrical component, such as an IC, by configuring an I/O interface into various types of interfaces. In an embodiment of the present invention, an I/O interface is configured into either a bi-directional contact, unidirectional contact (including either a dedicated transmit or dedicated receive contact) or a maintenance contact used in a maintenance or calibration mode of operation. The I/O interface is periodically reconfigured to optimally allocate I/O bandwidth responsive to system parameters, such as changing data workloads in the electronic components. System parameters include, but are not limited to, 1) number of transmit-receive bus turnarounds; 2) number of transmit and/or receive data packets; 3) user selectable setting 4) number of transmit and/or receive commands; 5) direct requests from one or more electronic components; 6) number of queued transactions in one or more electronic components; 7) transmit burst-length setting, 8) duration or cycle count of bus commands, and control strobes such as address/data strobe, write enable, chip select, data valid, data ready; 9) power and/or temperature of one or more electrical components; 10) information from executable instructions, such as a software application or operating system; 11) multiple statistics over respective periods of time to determine if using a different bandwidth allocation would result in better performance. The importance of a system parameter may be weighted over time in an embodiment of the present invention.

Abstract: A system and method for prioritizing a fetch order of web pages. The method comprises extracting by a web crawler a set of candidate web pages to be crawled. Each web page in the set of candidate web pages is associated with a website in a computer network. A determination is made to determine if a first website score for the website is in a website score database. The first website score is associated with web pages in the set of candidate web pages if the first website score exists in the website score database. The set of candidate web pages is prioritized with respect to an associated website score for each web page in the candidate set of web pages. Content is retrieved from the set of candidate web. Hyperlinks are extracted from the content. The hyperlinks are stored in a memory unit.

Abstract: A method of operating a memory system that includes an integrated circuit memory device is provided. A value representing an output voltage setting of an output driver of the memory device is stored in a register. The output driver outputs the drive voltage. A signal derived from the drive voltage is compared to a reference signal to generate a signal that indicates an adjustment to the output voltage setting. The output voltage setting of the output driver is adjusted using a counter that holds a count value representing an update to the output voltage setting. The count value is updated in accordance with a signal that indicates the adjustment to the output voltage setting.
