A method for providing time discrimination in the World Wide Web. The method includes the steps of creating a computational model of users of the World Wide Web that represents aggregate World Wide Web surfing patterns; using the computational model to determine a first number of clicks that an user goes through in a specific type of query entered by the user in a conventional web search engine; using the computational model to determine a second number of clicks that the user goes through in the specific type of query entered by the user in an optimized web search engine; and subtracting the first number of clicks from the second number of clicks to extract the gain obtained by time discrimination.

A search and recommendation system employs the preferences and profiles of individual users and groups within a community of users, as well as information derived from shared document bookmarks, to augment Internet searches, re-rank search results, and provide recommendations for documents based on a subject-matter query. The search and recommendation system operates in the context of a shared bookmark manager, which stores individual users bookmarks (some of which may be published or shared for group use) on a centralized bookmark database connected to the Internet. The shared bookmark manager is implemented as a distributed program, portions of which operate on users terminals and other portions of which operate on the centralized bookmark database.

A system and method for automated message response within a system for knowledge management is disclosed. The method discloses the steps of: identifying a set of information resources; profiling the information resources; monitoring a transmitted message; scoring the monitored message with respect to the information resource profiles; querying an information resource with content from the monitored message, if that information resource's score exceeds a predetermined threshold; receiving a set of query responses from the information resources; generating a response to the monitored message from the query responses; and responding to the monitored message with the message response. The system of the present invention, discloses means for implementing the method.

A method and apparatus for building an abbreviation dictionary involves searching through a set of source documents. The abbreviations having likely definitions are identified and the definitions extracted from the document. The definitions having identical associated abbreviations are grouped together. The definition groups are each arranged into clusters based on an n-gram or other combinatorial method to determine similar definition. Further disambiguation is provided by looking at similarity between clusters using an annotation associated with the source documents from which the definitions were extracted.

Demographic information of an Internet user is predicted based on an analysis of accessed web pages. Web pages accessed by the Internet user are detected and mapped to a user path vector which is converted to a normalized weighted user path vector. A centroid vector identifies web page access patterns of users with a shared user profile attribute. The user profile attribute is assigned to the Internet user based on a comparison of the vectors. Bias values are also assigned to a set of web pages and a user profile attribute can be predicted for an Internet user based on the bias values of web pages accessed by the user. User attributes can also be predicted based on the results of an expectation maximization process. Demographic information can be predicted based on the combined results of a vector comparison, bias determination, or expectation maximization process.

A system and method is disclosed for knowledge management. The method discloses the elements of: generating a client profile on a client computer connected to a network; storing the profile on the computer; receiving a new message; scoring the new message with respect to the client profile; counting a number of message responses to the new message; and re-transmitting the new message to a first sub-set of client computers on the network, based on the response count. The system discloses means for implementing the method.

Described is a solution for controlling text symbol size on a display of a display unit based on a measurement of the distance between a remote control device and the display unit. A distance sensing module provides a distance measurement based upon detection of a transmitted signal from the remote control device. A symbol size calculation module determines a target symbol height based on the distance measurement, and a symbol size adjustment module adjusts the size of symbolic content on the display preferably using animation.
