20130067319 | Method and Apparatus for Forming a Structured Document from Unstructured Information - Illustrative embodiments improve upon prior machine learning techniques by introducing an additional classification layer that mimics human visual pattern recognition. Building upon classification passes that extract contextual information, illustrative embodiments look for hints of high-level semantic categorization that manifest as visual artifacts in the document, such as font family, font weight, text color, text justification, white space, or CSS class name. An improved lightweight markup language enables display of machine-categorized tokens on a screen for human correction, thereby providing ground truths for further machine classification. | 03-14-2013 |
20140149240 | METHOD FOR COLLECTING POINT-OF-SALE DATA - A method for generating a website includes obtaining a seed input associated with an entity.

20140195312 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGEMENT OF PROCESSING WORKERS - A system and method for automatically determining an amount of review a crowd-sourcing task needs after an initial review has been completed by a processing worker. An evaluation metric is automatically assigned to the work performed by the processing worker to determine the appropriate amount of human review required for a particular task. The evaluation metric may be calculated by accessing and evaluating a plurality of transaction categories related, but not limited to, worker characteristics, document characteristics and processing characteristics. Additionally, the evaluation metric may be used to determine compensation of the processing worker and whether a promotion or demotion is necessary. The system is also capable of balancing individual workloads based upon the evaluation metric. | 07-10-2014 |
