| 20100014762 | CATEGORIZER WITH USER-CONTROLLABLE CALIBRATION - A calibrated categorizer comprises: a multi-class categorizer configured to output class probabilities for an input object corresponding to a set of classes; a class probabilities rescaler configured to rescale class probabilities to generate rescaled class probabilities; and a resealing model learner configured to learn calibration parameters for the class probabilities rescaler based on (i) class probabilities output by the multi-class categorizer for a calibration set of class-labeled objects, (ii) confidence measures output by the multi-class categorizer for the calibration set of class-labeled objects, and (iii) class labels of the calibration set of class-labeled objects, the class probabilities rescaler calibrated by the learned calibration parameters defining a calibrated class probabilities rescaler. In a method embodiment, class probabilities are generated for an input object corresponding to a set of classes using a classifier trained on a first set of objects, and are rescaled to form rescaled class probabilities using a resealing algorithm calibrated using a second set of objects different from the first set of objects. The method may further entail thresholding the rescaled class probabilities using thresholds calibrated using the second set of objects or a third set of objects. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20110192894 | METHOD FOR ONE-STEP DOCUMENT CATEGORIZATION AND SEPARATION - A method, apparatus, and hardcopy document are provided.

For each of a plurality of document pages for which a document separator is identified, the method includes locating the corresponding designated field and identifying the category code associated with the designated field. The document containing the identified separator is separated from other documents in the batch based on at least the identified separator and a document category is assigned to the document from a set of document categories, based on the identified category code. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110200256 | OPTICAL MARK CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system, method, and apparatus for mark recognition in an image of an original document are provided. The method/system takes as input an image of an original document in which at least one designated field is provided for accepting a mark applied by a user (which may or may not have been marked). A region of interest (RoI) is extracted from the image, roughly corresponding to the designated field. A center of gravity (CoG) of the RoI is determined, based on a distribution of black pixels in the RoI. Thereafter, for one or more iterations, the RoI is partitioned into sub-RoIs, based on the determined CoG, where at a subsequent iteration, sub-RoIs generated at the prior iteration serve as the RoI partitioned. Data is extracted from the RoI and sub-RoIs at one or more of the iterations, which allows a representation of the entire RoI to be generated which is useful in classifying the designated field, e.g., as positive (marked) or negative (not marked). | 08-18-2011 |

| 20100161910 | STORED VALUE ACCESSORS IN SHARED MEMORY REGIONS - Instruction sets in computing environments may execute within one of several domains, such as a natively executing domain, an interpretively executing domain, and a debugging executing domain. These domains may store values in a shared region of memory in different ways. It may be difficult to perform operations on such values, particularly if a domain that generated a particular value cannot be identified or no longer exist, which may obstruct shared accessing of values and evaluative tasks such as stack walks. Instead, accessors may be associated with a stored value that perform various operations (such as low-level assembly instructions like Load, Store, and Compare) according to the standards of the value-generating domain, and domains may be configured to operate on the value through the accessors. This configuration may promote consistent accessing of values without having to identify or consult the value-generating domain or reconfiguring the instruction sets. | 06-24-2010 |
