摘要： Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention allow a user to submit an ambiguous search query and to receive relevant search results. Queries can be expressed using character sets and/or languages that are different from the character set and/or language of at least some of the data that is to be searched. A translation between these character sets and/or languages can be performed by examining the use of terms in aligned text. Probabilities can be associated with each possible translation. Refinements can be made to these probabilities by examining user interactions with the search results.

摘要翻译： 与本发明一致的方法和装置允许用户提交模糊的搜索查询并接收相关的搜索结果。 可以使用与要搜索的至少一些数据的字符集和/或语言不同的字符集和/或语言来表达查询。 这些字符集和/或语言之间的翻译可以通过检查对齐文本中的术语的使用来执行。 概率可以与每个可能的翻译相关联。 通过检查用户与搜索结果的交互，可以对这些概率进行细化。

摘要： Ad rendering parameters for a set of two or more ads may be determined by (a) accepting, for a set of two or more ads, ad information which includes at least one ad feature having a value that depends on ad rendering parameters, and (b) determining ad rendering parameters for at least one ad from the set of two or more ads using the accepted ad information. The act of determining ad rendering parameters may use accepted ad rendering constraints. The ad rendering constraints may include space available for rendering the ads, a footprint available for rendering the ads, and/or a maximum number of ads permitted to be rendered. The act of determining ad rendering parameters may include maximizing a value associated with serving at least one ad from the set of two or more ads with ad rendering parameters subject to the ad rendering constraints. The ad rendering parameters may include sizes of the served ads, and/or a layout of the served ads.

摘要翻译： 可以通过以下方式来确定一组两个或更多个广告的广告呈现参数：（a）针对一组两个或更多个广告接受包括至少一个具有取决于广告呈现参数的值的广告特征的广告信息，以及（ b）使用所接受的广告信息来确定来自所述一组两个或更多个广告的至少一个广告的广告呈现参数。 确定广告呈现参数的行为可能会使用接受的广告呈现约束。 广告呈现约束可能包括可用于呈现广告的空间，可用于呈现广告的足迹和/或允许呈现的最大数量的广告。 确定广告呈现参数的行为可以包括最大化与从一组两个或更多个广告中投放至少一个广告相关联的值，其中广告呈现参数受到广告呈现约束的影响。 广告呈现参数可以包括所投放广告的尺寸和/或所投放广告的布局。

摘要： A system and method for transferring annotations associated with a media file. An annotation associated with a media file is indexed to a first instance of that media file. By comparing features of the two instances, a mapping is created between the first instance of the media file and a second instance of the media file. The annotation can be indexed to the second instance using the mapping between the first and second instances. The annotation can be processed (displayed, stored, or modified) based on the index to the second instance.

摘要： Additional documents are automatically located that are relevant to an original document, such as a document being read by a user, and also potentially relevant to personal information of the user. The additional documents may be located based on descriptive information that includes personal information of the user and content information of the document being read. The additional documents, or links to the additional documents, may be incorporated into the document being read. In some implementations, the additional documents may be presented in-line with the document being read, such as through an in-link link or text snippet. The user can thus be efficiently presented with additional information that is relevant to the original document being read.

摘要翻译： 自动定位与原始文档相关的附加文档，例如由用户读取的文档，并且还可能与用户的个人信息相关。 可以基于包括用户的个人信息和正在读取的文档的内容信息的描述性信息来定位附加文档。 附加文件或附加文件的链接可以并入正在阅读的文件中。 在一些实现中，附加文档可以与正在读取的文档一起呈现，诸如通过链接中的链接或文本片段。 因此，用户可以有效地呈现与正在读取的原始文档相关的附加信息。
