20080201632 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANNOTATING DOCUMENTS - Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture therefor, are disclosed for annotating documents. An embodiment for annotating documents may be performed by the method of: retrieving a document selected for display by a user; locating sub-document elements in content of the retrieved document; computing a similarity measure for each of the located sub-document elements; identifying similarity measures of annotated sub-document elements and the located sub-document elements that indicate a correspondence there between; augmenting the located sub-document elements of the retrieved document with annotations of those annotated sub-document elements that have comparable similarity measures; displaying the retrieved document augmented with annotations. | 08-21-2008 |
20080209310 | ANNOTATION VALIDITY USING PARTIAL CHECKSUMS - Embodiments of the present invention generally provide a system, method and article of manufacture for validating annotations describing one or more portions of a data object. In general, prior to displaying a requested annotation, a current change detection value may be calculated from current data extracted from portions of the data object described by the annotation. The current change detection value may be compared to a previously saved change detection value calculated from data extracted from the portions of the data object at the time the annotation was generated. A mismatch in the current change detection value and the previously saved change detection value indicates a change in the annotated portions of the data object, which may render the annotation invalid. The annotated portions of the data object may be continuous or discontinuous. | 08-28-2008 |
20080222511 | Method and Apparatus for Annotating a Document - Methods and apparatus are provided for annotating documents with one or more of entities, events and relations. Documents are annotated by presenting the document to a user; presenting the user with a list of possible entity types, wherein the list of possible entity types is configurable; and obtaining at least one mention annotation that associates a selected phrase in the document with one of the possible entity types. The selected phrase can be presented to the user, for example, based on one or more presentation rules associated with the associated entity type. The method can be implemented, for example, in a client-server configuration where a browser communicates with a remote server. A document can also be annotated by presenting the document to a user; presenting the user with a list of possible relation types, wherein the list of possible relation types is configurable; receiving at least two mention annotations from the user that each associate a selected phrase in the document with a entity type; and obtaining a relation annotation, wherein the relation annotation specifies a relation type between the at least two mention annotations. | 09-11-2008 |
20080222512 | ASSOCIATING ANNOTATIONS WITH DOCUMENT FAMILIES - The present invention generally provides methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for managing an annotation system that includes storing annotations for a document family, i.e., a series of versions of a data source.

The annotation mask, same size as the image, is initialized to a monochrome default and the color depth information for obscured pixels saved within the annotation mask. Because a majority area of the annotation mask is monochrome, it compresses well and the obscured image content can be saved in a side channel, metadata header, or a separate file. During reconstruction, changes to annotated image such as rotation, size change, and the like, may be detected and accounted for when obscured image content is carried over to the annotated image for reconstruction. | 11-20-2008 |

Text associated with the new video and with the set of videos is obtained, such as by automatic speech recognition that generates transcripts. A mining mechanism combines the associated text of the similar videos with that of the new video to find the terms that annotate the new video. For example, the mining mechanism creates a new term frequency vector by combining term frequency vectors for the set of similar videos with a term frequency vector for the new video, and provides the mined terms by fitting a zipf curve to the new term frequency vector. | 12-24-2009 |

In XPath/XSLT, expression evaluation occurs with respect to the dynamic context. In XPath, the part of the dynamic context, related to the context node-set, is called the “focus” of the expression. Conceptually, the focus would need to be systematically computed and propagated along the recursive execution of XSLT templates. This is costly. Focus inference enables the more efficient execution of XSLT programs since the inferred focus information can be used directly by a code generator in an XSLT compilation architecture. | 02-16-2012 |
