The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can leverage private affinities in order to facilitate or enrich relationships between people. In particular, the architecture can receive a profile associated with a user wherein the profile includes a set of private affinities that are cryptographically protected from public inspection. The architecture can decrypt and/or cryptographically compare a private affinity from the profile to an affinity in a disparate profile (associated with a disparate user) in order to identify a matching affinity. Once a matching affinity is identified, a message indicating such can be provided to the user along with a request to publish certain revealed information to the disparate user, possibly based upon a mutual exchange of commensurate information from the disparate user.

The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can enhance an experience associated with indicia related to a local environment. In particular, the architecture can receive an image that depicts a view of the local environment including a set of entities represented in the image. One or more of the entities can be matched or correlated to modeled entities included in a geospatial model of the environment, potentially based upon location and direction, in order to scope or frame the view depicted in the image to a modeled view. In addition, the architecture can select additional content that can be presented. The additional content typically relates to services or data associated with modeled entities included in the geospatial model or associated with modeled entities included in an image-based data store.

Systems and methods for operating a portable computing device having a broad set of functionality, such as image or audio/video capture capabilities, are provided. One or more specialized modes are provided in a portable computing device, such as a smart phone, for intelligently disabling any distracting functionality of the portable computing device with respect to a target subset of functionality possessed by the device and invoked during operation of a specialized mode. In various embodiments, the special mode for operation of a portable computing device in accordance with the invention is such that functionality that is likely to interfere with a time capture event of the device is disabled or mitigated during operation.

A computationally efficient and robust pitch detection and tracking system and related methods are presented. According to certain exemplary implementations a method is presented comprising identifying an initial set of pitch period candidates using a first estimation algorithm, filtering the initial set of candidates and passing the filtered candidates through a second, more accurate pitch estimation algorithm to generate a final set of pitch period candidates from which the most likely pitch value is selected.

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed that provide for document retrieval where a user can identify key attributes of potential target documents that are desirable (e.g., have a particular semantic content for the user). Further, relevant documents that comprise the desired semantic content can be retrieved. Additionally, the user can provide feedback on the retrieved documents, for example, based on key semantic concepts found in the documents, and the input can be used to update the classification. For example, this process can be iterated to improve the retrieval and precision of documents found through machine learning techniques.

In one embodiment, a speech recognition program at a client receives data that is unrecognized, such as an unrecognized word, an unrecognized pronunciation of a known word, an unrecognized dialect of a known, and/or a substantially new word frequency usage. The client transmits the data to a provider, which processes the data into known data, and transmits the known data back to a number of clients, including the client that initially sent the unrecognized data. In one embodiment, the unrecognized data is sent from the client to the provider via a third party, to anonymize the data.

摘要:
The use of data from multiple data source provides inferred air quality indices with respect to a particular pollutant for multiple areas without the addition of air quality monitor stations to those areas. Labeled air quality index data for a pollutant in a region may be obtained from one or more air quality monitor stations. Spatial features for the region may be extracted from spatially-related data for the region. The spatially-related data may include information on fixed infrastructures in the region. Likewise, temporal features for the region may be extracted from temporally-related data for the region that changes over time. A co-training based learning framework may be further applied to co-train a spatial classifier and a temporal classifier based at least on the labeled air quality index data, the spatial features for the region, and the temporal features for the region.
