20080201133 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEMANTIC CATEGORIZATION - There is disclosed a system and method for automatically performing semantic categorization. In one embodiment at least one text description pertaining to a category set is accepted along with words that are anticipated to be uttered by a user pertaining to that category set; lexical chaining confidence score is attached to each pair matched between the anticipated words and the accepted text description. These confidence scores are used subsequently by a categorization circuit that accepts a text phrase utterance from an input source along with a category set pertaining to the accepted utterance. The categorization circuit, in one embodiment, creates word pairs matched between the accepted text phrase utterance and the accepted category set. From these word scores, the category pertaining to the utterance is determined based, at least in part, on the assigned lexical chaining confidence scores as previously determined. | 08-21-2008 |

20090076800 | Dual Cross-Media Relevance Model for Image Annotation - A dual cross-media relevance model (DCMRM) is used for automatic image annotation. In contrast to the traditional relevance models which calculate the joint probability of words and images over a training image database, the DCMRM model estimates the joint probability by calculating the expectation over words in a predefined lexicon. The DCMRM model may be advantageous because a predefined lexicon potentially has better behavior than a training image database. The DCMRM model also takes advantage of content-based techniques and image search techniques to define the word-to-image and word-to-word relations involved in image annotation. Both relations can be estimated by using image search techniques on the web data as well as available training data. | 03-19-2009 |

For each hash value, a hash bucket may be created where an associated occurrence count may be maintained. The hash buckets may be sorted by occurrence count and a few top buckets may be kept. Once those top buckets are known, a second pass may walk the text string, generate terms, and calculate a hash value for each term. If the hash values of terms match hash values of one of the kept buckets, then the term may be considered a frequent term. Consequently, the term may be added to a dictionary along with a corresponding frequency count. Then, the dictionary may be examined to remove terms that may not be frequent, but appeared due to hash collisions. | 04-02-2009 |
