摘要:
A computer-implemented method of providing personalized route information involves gathering a plurality of past location indicators over time for a wireless client device, determining a future driving objective using the plurality of previously-gathered location indicators, obtaining real-time traffic data for an area proximate to the determined driving objective, and generating a suggested route for the driving objective using the near real-time traffic data.

Input handwritten characters are classified as print or cursive based upon numerical feature values calculated from the shape of an input character. The feature values are applied to inputs of an artificial neural network which outputs a probability of the input character being print or cursive. If a character is classified as print, it is analyzed by a print character recognizer. If a character is classified as cursive, it is analyzed using a cursive character recognizer. The cursive character recognizer compares the input character to multiple prototype characters using a Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm.

Messages of a user are ranked based on metrics derived from user actions with regard to the messages. Groupings of messages, such as conversations or a set of messages that are determined to be similar, may also be ranked. When new messages are received, their interest to the user is estimated based on rankings of messages and message groupings to which the new message is related. The new messages may be made more or less prominent based on the estimated interest to the user.

Ink strokes of cursive writing are segmented to make the cursive writing more like print writing, particularly with respect to the number of strokes of a character. A stroke-segmentation module first finds the local extrema points on a stroke of input ink. Then the local extrema points are stepped through, two (or three) at a time. The stroke-segmentation module may compare the three (or four) ink segments that are adjacent to the two (or three) local extrema points to a set of predefined stroke-segmentation patterns to find a closest matching pattern. Strokes are then segmented based on a stroke-segmentation rule that corresponds to the closest matching pattern. Additional stroke segmentation may be performed based on the change of curvature of the segmented ink strokes. Then, a character-recognition module performs character recognition processing by comparing the segmented ink strokes to prototype samples at least some of which have been similarly segmented.

A computer-implemented method for generating results for a client-requested query involves receiving a query produced by a client communication device, generating a result for the query in response to reception of the query, determining one or more predictive follow-up requests before receiving an actual follow-up request from the client device, and initiating retrieval of information associated with the one or more predictive follow-up requests, and transmitting at least part of the result to the client device, and then transmitting to the client device at least part of the information associated with the one or more predictive follow-up requests.

Sets of local, (e.g., online) ads may be generated by obtaining sets of information about (e.g., local) establishments, each set including a business address information and/or a telephone number, (b) determining, for each of the sets, a location using at least one of at least a portion of the business address information and at least a portion of the telephone number, and (c) generating, for each of the sets, an ad that includes targeting information that targets the serving of the ad to queries related to the determined location. A query, including information about a location of a client device, may be accepted and at least one of the generated ads that includes targeting information that targets the location of the client device may be determined.
摘要:
A technique for reducing a prototype database for use with handwriting recognizers. The prototype database is divided into multiple spaces and the effect on the error rate for removing each prototype is identified. All prototypes that contribute to the error rate are removed. If further prototype database reduction is desired, the technique identifies and removes one or more prototypes that have the least adverse effect on the error rate across all spaces. The technique continues removing prototypes in this manner until a desired prototype database size has been achieved.

A method for detecting a face in an image includes the steps of applying the image to a first classification tool that determines a rotational angle for rotating the image that makes the image most resemble an upright face; rotating the image by the rotational angle determined by the first classification tool; and applying the rotated image to a second classification tool, which determines whether the rotated image represents a frontal face or not.
