摘要： In a method to help a user determine a formula, (e.g., a fact, rule, or principle expressed in scientific, mathematical, technical, etc. symbols), a user may input an indication of the formula in an imprecise syntax. The inputted indication may be in ASCII text, for example, and may include technical shorthand, technical abbreviations, pseudocode, etc. In response, one or more formulas corresponding to the user's input are determined. Optionally, other outputs related to the determined formula(s) may be generated. In one implementation, software programming code corresponding to the formula is generated. Then, the formula(s) and the output(s) are presented to the user.

摘要： An answer engine determines an entity related to a query from a user in a system designed for computation, search, or other activities involving the processing of queries. The system determines whether an entity page for the entity is stored in an answers database and, if so, retrieves and displays the stored entity page. If there is no stored entity page for the entity, the answer engine generates and displays an answer to the query and may optionally store the answer as an entity page. Additionally, the answer engine may pre-generate and store entity pages according to algorithmic variation of received queries and/or according to information received from external sources.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for using cellular automata to simulate systems described by partial differential equations such as those that describe the flow of fluid, diffusion or heat transfer. A two-dimensional space is tessellated into a cellular array of regular hexagons. Flow or diffusion into a cell through each of its six sides from each of its six nearest neighbor cells is represented by a value 1; and any other condition is represented by a value 0. A set of rules specifies the effect of such inward flow in terms of an outward flow through at least some of the same six sides of each cell to its nearest neighbors. Interaction of the flow with a surface or other inhomogeneity is simulated by using a different set of rules to specify the outward flow produced when an inward flow encounters a surface or other inhomogeneity in the cell. Outward flow from one cell is an inward flow into its nearest neighbors; and with the next "tick" of the clock of the mode, the cycle repeats itself. Over long periods of time such as tens of thousands of ticks of the clock, this process has been shown to simulate the flow of a real fluid against an inclined straight-edge.

摘要： A natural language query answering system includes an external data pre-processor configured to i) analyze a first data set, the first data set received via a communication network, to identify data in the first data set that corresponds to entities in a database comprising categorized entities, and ii) generate a second data set corresponding to the first data set and based on the analysis of the first data set, wherein the second data set includes information indicating how data in the second data set is to be interpreted by the natural language query answering system. The natural language query answering system is configured to retrieve data and/or process data from the second data set in response to natural language queries.

摘要： A user interface application is created to prompt a user for information and to generate a query to be submitted to a natural language (NL) query answering system. A first user is prompted to submit an NL query, and the NL query is received. The user interface application is generated using the NL query and so that the user interface application is configured to prompt the first user or a second user to provide information, receive the information, generate a computer-generated query based on the NL query and the received information, provide the computer-generated query to the NL query answering system, receive answer information from the NL query answering system in response to the computer-generated query, and cause at least some of the answer information to be displayed on a display device.

摘要： A system and method facilitate the use of a multi-function computer for an examination. An application implementing the method receives a hash input from a user and, upon successful completion of the examination, displays a hash output. The hash output may be displayed as a visual hash. During the examination, the application or system monitors the multi-function computer to determine whether the user has activated, viewed, or launched any prohibited functions or applications on the multi-function computer. If the user views a prohibited function or application, the examination application does not display the hash output. The system and application implement various security measures to prevent spoofing or duplication of the hash output or tampering with the application.

摘要： In a method for presenting information, an interactive document, for example, may be created that includes both an input expression and a result generated by evaluating the input expression, and where the input expression can be selectively hidden. This may permit “decluttering” of the document so that it may be easier to follow. At the same time, user interface mechanisms allow a viewer to reveal the input expression if the viewer desires to see the input expression. In this method, an input expression and a result corresponding to an evaluation of the input expression are presented on a workspace associated with a computational software application. Additionally, a first user interface mechanism associated with the input expression is presented on the workspace. In response to an activation of the first user interface mechanism, the input expression may be hidden on the workspace, while the result is presented on the workspace.

摘要： A word meaning or sense is determined in response to an actual user query in a system designed for computation, search, or other activities involving the processing of queries. Assumptions, which are attempts to disambiguate pieces of the user's query string, are generated. Generation of the assumptions is based on various heuristics and algorithms which are designed to disambiguate words which may connote multiple different entities, meanings, or senses given the context. Assumptions also may be ranked based on a set of criteria that does not require an elaborately constructed body of world knowledge to be created. A most likely assumption may be chosen for generating a machine-generated query and/or for generating query results.
