| 20110040619 | BELIEF PROPAGATION FOR GENERALIZED MATCHING - Entities may be matched to enhance the efficiency of various commercial activities using various system and method embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. Belief propagation on a graph data structure defining a bipartite or unipartite matching opportunity is used to calculate a best matching. In embodiments, functions are implemented based upon the match, such as executing sales between matched buyers and sellers in an online auction system. In embodiments, messages with scalar values carry information about the relative value of possible matchings, initially provided as weights or values for the possible matchings. Weights may depend on, for example, bids or costs. Messages may be passed, for example over a network between processors respective to the nodes. Belief values reflecting a best matching can be continuously updated for each node responsively to the value information and received messages to rank the matches respective to each node, which progressively improve. This allows short or complete terminations conditions to determine the goodness of the matching. Differing numbers of matches respective to each member of the disjoint sets and distributions of the desirability of different numbers of matches can be integrated in the matchings in respective embodiments. | 02-17-2011 |

An embodiment of the method can include performing b-matching on a graph data structure expanded using degree distribution information in order to identify neighbors of a selected input node. The b-matching can be performed using belief propagation. The belief propagation method is adapted to use a compressed message update rule and to be suitable for use with distributed processing systems. An embodiment can also include enhancing a matching result by applying degree distribution information to a first matching result to generate a second matching result. Embodiments for online advertisement/search term matching, product recommendation, dating service and social network matching, auction buyer/seller matching and resource allocation, among other, are disclosed. | 01-05-2012 |

| 20080221852 | Method For Order Selection In Passive Transmission Line Macromodels Based On The Lie Criteria - A passive macromodel for lossy, dispersive multiconductor transmission lines uses a multiplicative approximation of the matrix exponential known as the Lie product. The circuit implementation of the macromodel is a cascade of elementary cells, each cell being the combination of a pure delay element and a lumped circuit representing the transmission line losses. Compared with passive rational macromodeling, the Lie product macromodel is capable of efficiently simulating long, low-loss multiconductor transmission lines while preserving passivity. This result is combined with transmission line theory to derive a time-domain error criterion for the Lie product macromodel. This criterion is used to determine the minimum number of cells needed in the macromodel to assure that the magnitude of the time-domain error is less than a given engineering tolerance. | 09-11-2008 |
