20100023418METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COLLABORATIVE PURCHASE OF GIFTS - The present invention is a computer-based method and system for coordinating the collaborative selection and purchase of a gift given by any number of gift contributors to a recipient. The gift shopping system maintains updated information on the remaining balance for gift's purchase amount The collaborative gift shopping system processes monetary transactions for each gift contributor until the full purchase amount has been reached. When the full purchase amount is reached by the collaborating gift contributors, the gift order is processed for delivery to the gift recipient. The gift shopping system can send communications to gift contributors each time a contribution towards a gift has been processed. Once the purchase amount of the gift has been reached the gift shopping system can send communications to gift contributors. The gift shopping system can maintain a database for which gifts each recipient has received and/or which gifts are currently accepting contributions to avoid duplicating gifts for that recipient. The gift shopping system can send communications to potential contributors on behalf of gift contributors in the form of invitations to participate in the gift.01-28-2010

20100185685Technique for Information Retrieval Using Enhanced Latent Semantic Analysis - A technique for information retrieval includes parsing a corpus to identify a number of wordform instances within each document of the corpus. A weighted morpheme-by-document matrix is generated based at least in part on the number of wordform instances within each document of the corpus and based at least in part on a weighting function. The weighted morpheme-by-document matrix separately enumerates instances of stems and affixes. Additionally or alternatively, a term-by-term alignment matrix may be generated based at least in part on the number of wordform instances within each document of the corpus. At least one lower rank approximation matrix is generated by factorizing the weighted morpheme-by-document matrix and/or the term-by-term alignment matrix.07-22-2010
