As an example, a server may receive, from a computing device, a submission created by an author. The submission includes book data associated with a book and author data associated with the author. The author data includes incarceration data indicating whether the author was incarcerated. The server may determine, based on the author data and the book data, that the submission is publishable. The server may create, based on the book data, a printable book, an e-book, and an audio book and make one or more of the printable book, the e-book, and the audio book available for acquisition.

Briefly stated, the invention is directed to retrieving a semantically matched knowledge structure. A question and answer pair is received, wherein the answer is received from a query of a search engine. A question is constraint-matched with the answer based on maximizing a plurality of constraints, wherein at least one of the plurality of the constraints is a similarity score between question and answer, wherein the constraint matching generates a matched sequence. For one or more answer sequences, a subsequence is found that are not parsed as answer slots. Query results are obtained from another search engine based on a combination of the answer or question, and the non-answer subsequence. And a KB based is refined on the query results and the constraint matching and based on a neural network training, for a further subsequent semantic matching, wherein the KB includes a dense semantic vector indication of concepts.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for proactive encounter scanning is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter. The encounter information is proactively processed to determine if the encounter information is indicative of one or more medical conditions and to generate one or more result set. The one or more result sets are provided to the user.

Example systems, apparatus, and methods receive audio information including a plurality of frames from a source device, wherein each frame of the plurality of frames includes one or more audio samples and a time stamp indicating when to play the one or more audio samples of the respective frame. In an example, the time stamp is updated for each of the plurality of frames using a time differential value determined between clock information received from the source device and clock information associated with the device. The updated time stamp is stored for each of the plurality of frames, and the audio information is output based on the plurality of frames and associated updated time stamps. A number of samples per frame to be output is adjusted based on a comparison between the updated time stamp for the frame and a predicted time value for play back of the frame.

Implementations are provided for providing responsive audio recordings to user queries that are prerecorded by human beings, rather than generated automatically using speech synthesis processing. In various implementations, a query provided by a user at an input component of a computing device may be used to search a corpus of voice recordings From the searching, a plurality of candidate responsive voice recordings may be identified and ranked based on measures of credibility associated with speakers that created the candidate responsive voice recordings. Based on the ranking, one or more of the plurality of candidate responsive voice recordings may be provided for presentation to the user at an output component of the same computing device or a different computing device.

Managing access to digital content in a virtual environment using virtual content rights, including: providing a virtual content rights database comprising data associating a user of the virtual environment with the virtual content rights acquired with respect to the digital content; receiving, at a processor, a request from a device of the user for assignment of the virtual content rights of the digital content, wherein the user uses the device to interface with the processor; updating the virtual content rights database to indicate the assignment of the virtual content rights to the user; receiving, at the processor, data from the device of the user holding the virtual content rights to digital content including songs to create a virtual user-configured music room having at least one of the songs; and updating the virtual content rights database to indicate sharing of the virtual user-configured music room by the user within the virtual environment.

Provided is an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that are capable of providing contents suitable for a user. The information processing apparatus includes an information generation section that refers to information related to an action history and an action schedule of a user acquired and a database of event content information regarding a plurality of events, and generates profile information of the user while tying together information of stay places in past and future of the user and information of artistes of the events, and an output section that sets a priority for each of the plurality of artistes on the basis of the generated profile information, and outputs a content corresponding to each of the artistes in accordance with the priority.
