Abstract: Architecture that automatically detects historical search contexts as well as behaviors related to a search query. Machine learning and hand-authored rules are employed to automatically identify search contexts. Historical information likely to be useful in the current context is surfaced. When a user enters a search query or executes another search behavior, past behaviors are exposed which are contextually related to the current behavior. The architecture also provides automatic discovery of historical contexts, features related to the contexts, and training or authoring of a system for classifying behavior into contexts, using some combination of the machine learning and/or hand-authored rules. A runtime system classifies the current user behavior into a context and surfaces contextual information to the user.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of converting existing content files into an active content wizard executable file is provided, along with systems and tools for doing the same. In the method, an existing content file is converted into a corresponding file in an active content wizard schema. A database of user interface elements corresponding to user interface elements found in one or more windows of an application program to which the existing content file corresponds is accessed in order to retrieve information relating to user interface elements referenced in the corresponding file in the active content wizard schema. Then, an active content wizard file is created from the corresponding file in the active content wizard schema and the retrieved information relating to user interface elements.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for automatically capturing images based on the actions of an author in completing steps in an overall task performed on a user interface. To capture the images the author activates a recording component. The recording component records images corresponding to the author's actions on the user interface. The recording component can pass the recorded images to an editing component where an author can generate text corresponding to the images to describe the actions. The images can also be published embedded in the text, if desired.

Abstract: A method of calculating trigram path probabilities for an input string of text containing a multi-word-entry (MWE) or a factoid includes tokenizing the input string to create a plurality of parse leaf units (PLUs). A PosColumn is constructed for each word, MWE, factoid and character in the input string of text which has a unique first (Ft) and last (Lt) token pair. TrigramColumns are constructed which define corresponding TrigramNodes each representing a trigram for three PosColumns. Forward and backward trigram path probabilities are calculated for each separate TrigramNode. The sums of all trigram path probabilities through each PLU are then calculated as a function of the forward and backward trigram path probabilities. Systems and computer-readable medium configured to implement the methods are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for automatically recording information indicative of actions of an author in completing steps in an overall task performed on a user interface. Recording systems are used to record the steps taken to perform the task on different computers having different configurations. The recorded steps are then imported into an authoring component where the recorded steps are arranged into a desired content.

Abstract: System, method, computer program and computer program product automate and optimize process of placing advertising campaigns on available inventory. When visitor loads one of publisher's web pages, system will be queried for advertisement that should be shown. System periodically analyzes performance data to determine optimal allocations. When queried, identifies advertiser campaign and advertisement to be shown. Results of that visitor encounter are logged or recorded for future analysis. Determination of campaign placements may advantageously be a two-phase process. First, campaign is efficiently tested on the inventory most likely to produce good results. The testing module dynamically adapts, adjusting the amount of testing on different channels until a sufficient determination of the creative performance on different channels can be made. The second phase is the resource allocation. Campaign performance data and contractual constraints are formulated as a network problem. Efficient methods for solving network problems are well known. These two phases may be further subdivided if necessary.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for personalizing a web page and for personalizing user search query results are provided. A request to view a web page, such as a user search query that produces a search result web page, is received from a computing device. A computing device identifier is detected. Device-specific data corresponding to the detected computing device identifier is accessed. Upon detecting at least one user identifier having an authentication state, user-specific data corresponding to the detected user identifier and authentication state is accessed. The web page is personalized based on at least one of the accessed device-specific data and the accessed user-specific data.
