Methods and systems for selecting and presenting content based on dynamically identifying microgenres associated with the content
A method of selecting and presenting content based on learned user preferences is provided. The method includes providing a content system including a set of content items organized by genre characterizing the content items, and wherein the set of content items contains microgenre metadata further characterizing the content items. The method also includes receiving search input from the user for identifying desired content items and, in response, presenting a subset of content items to the user. The method further includes receiving content item selection actions from the user and analyzing the microgenre metadata within the selected content items to learn the preferred microgenres of the user. The method includes, in response to receiving subsequent user search input, selecting and presenting content items in an order that portrays as relatively more relevant those content items containing microgenre metadata that more closely match the learned microgenre preferences of the user.
Apparatus and methods for organizing and/or presenting data
In some embodiments, a method of allowing navigation of a plurality of data elements residing within a category-tree database includes providing, on a single primary “web” page, a distinct data element symbol for each data element and a distinct parent category symbol for each parent category in the category paths of the data elements. For each illustrated parent category, a distinct first level web page is provided that includes (i) a first level subcategory symbol for each first level subcategory in the category paths of the data element(s) associated with that parent category and (ii) the data element symbol for each such data element shown associated with its respective first level subcategory symbol.
System and method for analyzing data records
A method processes data records. The method partitions the data records into groups and assigns each group to a respective process of a first plurality of processes, which execute in parallel. For each group, the assigned process extracts information from the data records, applies a script with information processing commands applied sequentially to produce intermediate values, stores the intermediate values in a respective intermediate data structure, and updates the status of the group to indicate completion. When the predefined threshold percentage of the data records are completed, the process assigns each group to a respective second process as a backup. When each of the groups has been completed by at least one process (either the original or the backup), the method executes a second plurality of processes to aggregate intermediate values from the intermediate data structures to produce output data. The aggregation includes intermediate values only once for each group.
Computer-implemented system and method for selecting documents for review
A computer-implemented system and method for selecting documents for review is provided. A master array of messages and topics for the messages is generated. The messages in the master array are sorted by the topics and the sorted messages are processed. During processing, each message in the master array is identified as unique, duplicate, or near duplicate. The unique messages are extracted from the duplicate and near duplicate messages, and entered into a log by creating a log entry for each of the unique messages. Each log entry includes a source of and identification information for one of the unique messages. The unique messages are then provided for document review.
Storage management computer and method for avoiding conflict by adjusting the task starting time and switching the order of task execution
A storage apparatus includes a storage unit for storing data read/written by a host computer and provides the host computer with a storage area of the storage unit as one or more volumes. The storage management computer includes a first memory for storing task information including contents of an operation process performed on the storage apparatus, as well as a scheduled starting time and scheduled termination time of a process. In the case where first task information is stored in the first memory, when resources used in the process of second task information stored in the first memory are the same as resources used in the process of the first task information, the storage management computer computes times required for executing the first task information and the second task information, based on a time during which the processes of the first and second task information conflict with each other.
System And Method For Analyzing Data Records
Systems and methods for analyzing input data records are provided in which a master process initiates a plurality of concurrent first processes each of which comprises, for each data record in at least a subset of a plurality of input data records, creating a parsed representation of the data record and independently applying a procedural language query to the parsed representation to extract one or more values. A respective emit operator is applied to at least one of the extracted one or more values thereby adding corresponding information to a respective intermediate data structure. The respective emit operator implements one of a predefined set of statistical information processing functions. The master process also initiates a plurality of second processes each of which aggregates information from a corresponding subset of intermediate data structures to produce aggregated data that is, in turn, combined to produce output data.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SELECTING AND PRESENTING CONTENT BASED ON DYNAMICALLY IDENTIFYING MICROGENRES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTENT
A method of selecting and presenting content based on learned user preferences is provided. The method includes providing a content system including a set of content items organized by genre characterizing the content items, and wherein the set of content items contains microgenre metadata further characterizing the content items. The method also includes receiving search input from the user for identifying desired content items and, in response, presenting a subset of content items to the user. The method further includes receiving content item selection actions from the user and analyzing the microgenre metadata within the selected content items to learn the preferred microgenres of the user. The method includes, in response to receiving subsequent user search input, selecting and presenting content items in an order that portrays as relatively more relevant those content items containing microgenre metadata that more closely match the learned microgenre preferences of the user.
