Abstract: The present invention relates to a scaleable automatic method of using multiple techniques to generate models and combinations of models from data and prior knowledge. The system provides unprecedented ease of use in that many of the choices of technique and parameters are explored automatically by the system, without burdening the user, and provides scaleable learning over distributed processors to achieve speed and data-handling capacity to satisfy the most demanding requirements.

Abstract: The present invention, known as The Collaboration Portal (COPO), relates generally to the field of automated entity, data processing, system control, and data communications, and more specifically to an integrated method, system, and apparatus for providing computer-accessible benefits for communities of users. It provides a framework for provisioning computer-accessible benefits for communities of users, and can efficiently and robustly distribute the processing in behalf of those users over a decentralized network of computers. The field of the invention generally encompasses enabling appropriate and desired communication among communities of users and organizations, and providing information, goods, services, a works, opportunities, and connections among users and organizations.

Abstract: A system and method for representing and solving problems allows a user to enter objects and attributes, and to form a table of at least two dimensions having object-attribute pairs. An object hierarchy is then implemented using the entered objects. A score is maintained reflecting how closely the constraints of a particular problem are to being satisfied and the degree of progress in the direction of stated objectives of the problem.

Abstract: A system and method for representing and solving problems which allows a user to enter objects and attributes, and to form a table of at least two dimensions having object-attributes pairs. An object hierarchy is then implemented using the entered objects. The system allows the user to enter constructs to represent relationships among the object-attribute pairs, and also to enter objectives and constraints for the problem. The system allows the user to solve the problem manually or automatically by the system. A score is maintained reflecting how closely the constraints of a problem are to being satisfied and the degree of progress in the direction of the stated objectives of the problem. The system allows representation of hybrid numerical and symbolic problems, and provides solutions to linear or non-linear, discrete or continuous, and feasible or non-feasible constraint satisfaction and optimization problems.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for finding the best match between buyers (or buyers consortiums) and sellers (or sellers consortiums), by a set of software intermediaries, and for using the information developed in those matches to define monetary and performance commitments between parties, and to create fair distribution of the benefits of the agreement among the respective participants. The system solves three related optimization problems concurrently: the optimal aggregation of individual buyers into buyers consortiums; the optimal aggregation of individual sellers into sellers consortiums, and the optimal match of requirements, posed by the buyers consortium, to offers, posed by the sellers consortium.

Abstract: A human-computer interface system and methods for providing intelligent, adaptive, multimodal interaction with users while accomplishing tasks on their behalf in some particular domain or combination of domains. Specifically, this system accepts user input via natural language text, mouse actions, human speech, whistles, gestures, pedal movements, facial or postural changes, and conveys results via natural language text, automatically-generated speech, and displays of graphs, tables, animation, video, and mechanical and chemical effectors that convey heat, tactile sensation, taste and smell.
