20140101673 | DYNAMIC DEPENDENCY EVALUATION FOR COMPUTING TASK EXECUTION - The subject disclosure is directed towards scheduling computing task execution by dynamically evaluating dependencies between computing tasks. After executing independent computing tasks in parallel, one or more dependent tasks are scheduled for execution. Unless a task failed, dependencies between remaining tasks are examined to identify one or more computing tasks that do not correspond to a dependency and/or one or more computing tasks that depend upon successfully completed tasks. Dynamic dependency evaluation may be applied to improve self-healing task execution. | 04-10-2014 |

20130006961 | DATA DRIVEN NATURAL INTERFACE FOR AUTOMATED RELATIONAL QUERIES - A data driven natural interface is provided for automated relational queries. Multiple datasets are displayed in an easily selectable manner on a surface. Upon detecting selection and movement of a dataset to another surface, the moved data is presented on the other surface. Upon detecting selection and movement of another dataset to the other surface, a join path between the moved datasets is computed, the datasets joined, and results displayed on the other surface. The system continues to join newly selected data with existing data as new datasets are moved to the other surface allowing query results to take shape before the user's eyes, without a need to test or execute the query. | 01-03-2013 |

20100245083 | Electronic Guides, Incident Response Methods, Incident Response Systems, and Incident Monitoring Methods - Incident response methods include receiving notification that an incident has occurred, determining a source of the notification, the source being near the incident, and establishing at least one guided path configured to direct a first person, a first animal, or a first movable device positioned near the source away from the incident and/or to direct a second person, a second animal, or a second movable device toward the incident. Electronic guides include an indicator, and processing circuitry configured to receive a request to configure the indicator from an inactive state to an active state in which the indicator encourages a first person positioned near a first side of the electronic guide to move toward the electronic guide and encourages a second person positioned near a second side of the electronic guide to move away from the electronic guide and configure the indicator according to the request. | 09-30-2010 |

20130018650 | Selection of Language Model Training Data - An intelligent selection system selects language model training data to obtain in-domain training datasets. The selection is accomplished by estimating a cross-entropy difference for each candidate text segment from a generic language dataset. The cross-entropy difference is a difference between the cross-entropy of the text segment according to the in-domain language model and the cross-entropy of the text segment according to a language model trained on a random sample of the data source from which the text segment is drawn. If the difference satisfies a threshold condition, the text segment is added as an in-domain text segment to a training dataset. | 01-17-2013 |
20130103695 | MACHINE TRANSLATION DETECTION IN WEB-SCRAPED PARALLEL CORPORA - Various technologies described herein pertain to detecting machine translated content. Documents in a document pair are mutual lingual translations of each other. Further, document level features of the documents in the document pair can be identified. The document level features can correlate with translation quality between the documents in the document pair. Moreover, statistical classification can be used to detect whether the document pair is generated through machine translation based at least in part upon the document level features. Further, a first document can be a machine translation of a second document in the document pair or a disparate document when generated through machine translation. | 04-25-2013 |
