A method may include determining that a character event of an extensible markup language (XML) document is untyped. The character event may be associated with a content string including whitespace. The method may further include determining that the character event is associated with an event code having a length of one. In response to determining that the character event is untyped and is associated with the event code having the length of one, the content string may be encoded as an encoded content string, including encoding the whitespace of the content string such that the whitespace of the content string is preserved.

A natural language processing methodology to automatically transform push advertising into pull advertising. Text found in forum, blog, and social media postings throughout the Internet is grammatically analyzed to identify potential customers who have expressed a clear problem. Only parsing rules with the least likely elements present are evaluated. In response, personalized replies are produced that contain pertinent and useful information about a potential product or service. Those replies appear to come from other Internet users, thus converting expressed needs of user/prospects into discussions with sales technicians.

A display control apparatus includes: a display control unit that displays a first page to which an object is affixed at a designated position and a second page as arranged side by side on a display; a detecting unit that detects overlap between the object and the second page when the first page and the second page are arranged side by side; and a processing unit that performs a process for preventing a reduction in visual recognizability of the second page displayed on the display due to the overlap in the case where the overlap is detected by the detecting unit.

Methods, computer program products and systems are described for computer implemented online-content management. Multiple online content items authored by multiple authors for online publication are received at one or more first computers. For each online content item, a reputation score is determined for the author corresponding to the online content item. The reputation score is based at least in part on one or more reviews of the online content item provided by one or more reviewers other than the author. An online content item from the multiple online content items is published for display on one or more second computers, which includes displaying an advertisement in conjunction with displaying the online content item. A share of revenue for the author of the online content item for displaying the advertisement is determined based at least in part on the reputation score of the author.

An electronic device having an electronic board function and an operation method thereof. The electronic device includes: a display; a touch input interface; a memory storing at least one instruction; and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory to: display a writing area in a display area of the display; detect a predefined touch input in the writing area; and based on detecting the predefined touch input, reduce the writing area, display the reduced writing area in at least first part of the display area and provide an extended area in at least second part of the display area, the extended area being configured to receive a writing input continuing from the reduced writing area to the extended area.

The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for generating animation. An implementation of the method may include: processing a to-be-processed material to generate a normalized text; analyzing the normalized text to generate a Chinese pinyin sequence of the normalized text; generating a reference audio based on the to-be-processed material; and obtaining a animation of facial expressions corresponding to the timing sequence of the reference audio based on the Chinese pinyin sequence and the reference audio.

A methodology and system are presented for inducing user intent in a corpus and storing this intent in an intent library. To accurately detect intent, the corpus is first cleaned of nonsensical words and symbols and then syntactically analyzed to extract words and dependencies between them, which are then semantically analyzed to select keywords that are indicative of intent, and map the keywords to ordered broad semantic categories of the types of action, modifier and object. Keywords are then converted into embedding vectors whose dimensions are reduced and clustered according to category and order. Relations are calculated for the clusters across the semantic categories and intent is then calculated with the help of intent templates and word dictionaries.

An approach is disclosed for generating an adjustable ruleset for fingerprinting data. The approach involves, for example, designating a data type as private. The approach also involves collecting private data relating to user from one or more data sources, wherein the private data includes a plurality of attributes that include a private attribute having the private data type. The approach further involves transforming the private attribute based on one or more configured rules for tokenizing the private attribute. The approach also involves generating a token corresponding to transformed private attribute; and initiating storage of the token for subsequent discovery of data having the private data type.
