20130275611 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DYNAMIC ROUTING OF AGGREGATED ONLINE MEDIA STREAMS - Disclosure includes a system, method and architecture to monitor media content streams, e.g., streams of digital encoded media data such as without limitation audio and/or video data, from a number of media content streaming providers and identify media content items from those media content items being streamed by the media content streaming providers for inclusion in a personalized media content stream for a user. In a direct streaming approach, the media content items contained in a stream are available while each item is being streamed by the content provider. In a centralized streaming approach, media content items contained in each media content stream that is currently being streamed by content provider are available for a limited window of time, which can be dependent on buffer length. | 10-17-2013 |
20130311163 | MEDIA RECOMMENDATION USING INTERNET MEDIA STREAM MODELING - Media item recommendations, such as music track recommendations, may be made using one or more models generated using data collected from a plurality of media stream sources, such as, for example, Internet radio stations. In an initial, bootstrapping phase, data about media items and media stream playlists of media stream sources may be used to generate a model, which comprises latent factor vectors, or learned profiles, of media items, e.g., tracks, artists, etc. Such a bootstrapping phase may be performed without user data, such as user playlists and/or user feedback, to generate a model that may be used to make media item recommendations. As user data becomes available, e.g., as users of a recommendation service provide user data, the user data may be used to supplement and/or update the model and/or to create user profiles. | 11-21-2013 |
20130325462 | AUTOMATIC TAG EXTRACTION FROM AUDIO ANNOTATED PHOTOS - A system and method for assigning one or more tags to an image file. In one aspect, a server computer receives an image file captured by a client device. In one embodiment, the image file includes an audio component embedded therein by the client device, where the audio component was spoken by a user of the client device as a tag of the image file. The server computer determines metadata associated with the image file and identifies a dictionary of potential textual tags from the metadata. The server computer determines a textual tag from the audio component and from the dictionary of potential textual tags. The server computer then associates the textual tag with the image file as additional metadata. | 12-05-2013 |

20140280251 | ALMOST ONLINE LARGE SCALE COLLABORATIVE FILTERING BASED RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM - A method for adjusting one or more parameters associated with a model. The method comprises obtaining, from a first source, first information related to activity of a user. The method further comprises adjusting one or more parameters associated with a model based on the first information collected within a first length of time, and obtaining, from a second source, second information related to activity of the user. The method further comprises adjusting the one or more parameters associated with the model based on the second information collected within a second length of time and a measure indicative of performance of the model, wherein the second length of time is larger than the first length of time. | 09-18-2014 |
20140310281 | EFFICIENT AND FAULT-TOLERANT DISTRIBUTED ALGORITHM FOR LEARNING LATENT FACTOR MODELS THROUGH MATRIX FACTORIZATION - A method for estimating model parameters. The method comprises receiving a data set related to a plurality of users and associated content, partitioning the data set into a plurality of sub data sets in accordance with the users so that data associated with each user are not partitioned into more than one sub data set, storing each of the sub data sets in a separate one of a plurality of user data storages, each of said data storages being coupled with a separate one of a plurality of estimators, storing content associated with the plurality of users in a content storage, where the content storage is coupled to the plurality of estimators so that the content in the content storage is shared by the estimators, and estimating, asynchronously by each estimator, one or more parameters associated with a model based on data from one of the sub data sets. | 10-16-2014 |

20100201749 | Method And Apparatus for Load-Locked Printing - The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for preventing oxidation or contamination during a circuit printing operation. The circuit printing operation can be directed to OLED-type printing. In an exemplary embodiment, the printing process is conducted at a load-locked printer housing having one or more of chambers. Each chamber is partitioned from the other chambers by physical gates or fluidic curtains. A controller coordinates transportation of a substrate through the system and purges the system by timely opening appropriate gates. The controller may also control the printing operation by energizing the print-head at a time when the substrate is positioned substantially thereunder. | 08-12-2010 |

20130038649 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF PRINT GAP - Gas bearing systems, print gap control systems, and methods of print gap control are provided. The gas bearing systems can accommodate one or more print module packages. The systems and methods can be used for inkjet and/or thermal printing applications such as manufacturing organic light emitting devices (OLEDs). Gas bearing systems can employ one or more of pressurized gas and vacuum. For oxygen-sensitive applications, an inert gas, such as nitrogen gas, can be employed as the pressurized gas. Fluid channels and apertures of the gas bearing systems can be varied in terms of size and relative position to one another. Fluid channels and apertures can be grouped and paired with one or more manifolds and ultimately a pressurized gas and/or vacuum source. | 02-14-2013 |
