20090280786 | UPDATING CONTACT INFORMATION FOR MOBILE TRAFFIC - A system for managing contact information between mobile devices. A notification is received any time a mobile device initiates or terminates a communication. The receiving mobile device is prompted to obtain the contact information of the caller. Based on permissions set by the caller, the receiving mobile device may obtain the caller's public contact information, private contact information, none of the caller's contact information or some combination of the caller's public and private contact information. In one embodiment, a subset of the caller's contact information is displayed in the screen of a receiving mobile device coincidentally while receiving the phone call to provide a caller-identification feature. | 11-12-2009 |
20120078857 | COMPARING AND SELECTING DATA CLEANSING SERVICE PROVIDERS - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for exploring and selecting data cleansing service providers. Embodiments of the invention permit a user to explore different data cleansing service providers and compare quality results from the different data cleansing service providers. Sample data is mapped to a specified data domain. A list of service providers, for cleansing data for the selected data domain, is provided to a user. The user selects a subset of service providers. The sample data is submitted to the subset of service providers, which return results including allegedly cleansed data. The results are profiled and a comparison of the subset of service providers is presented to the user. The user selects a service provider to use when cleansing further data. | 03-29-2012 |

20130117012 | KNOWLEDGE BASED PARSING - The subject disclosure generally relates to parsing unstructured data based on knowledge of domains related to the unstructured data. A domain identification component can identify a set of domains related to a term in a data set. An inspection component can identify unmatched words, and unmatched related domains. A correlation component can compare the unmatched words to known values for the unmatched domains, and a manager component can match the unmatched words with the unmatched domains based on the comparison. In addition, combinations of the words can be generated based on a set of predetermined rules, and compared to the unmatched domains. Furthermore, delimiter based parsing can be employed to augment the knowledge based parsing. | 05-09-2013 |
20130117202 | KNOWLEDGE-BASED DATA QUALITY SOLUTION - The subject disclosure relates to a knowledge-driven data quality solution that is based on a rich knowledge base. The data quality solution can provide continuous improvement and can be based on continuous (or on-going) knowledge acquisition. The data quality solution can be built once and can be reused for multiple data quality improvements, which can be for the same data or for similar data. The disclosed aspects are easy to use and focus on productivity and user experience. Further, the disclosed aspects are open and extendible and can be applied to cloud-based reference data (e.g., a third party data source) and/or user generated knowledge. According to some aspects, the disclosed aspects can be integrated with data integration services. | 05-09-2013 |

20140372429 | INCORPORATING USER USAGE OF CONSUMABLE CONTENT INTO RECOMMENDATIONS - Disclosed herein is a system and method for generating a user profile for a user based on the way the user interacts with consumable content in an application, such as an electronic book in an e-reader. The actions of the user with regards to the content are monitored and the associated with characteristics of the content. This association is used to build the user's profile of their likes and dislikes which are then provided to a recommender system to provide more relevant and personalize recommendations. | 12-18-2014 |
20140372430 | AUTOMATIC AUDIENCE DETECTION FOR MODIFYING USER PROFILES AND MAKING GROUP RECOMMENDATIONS - Disclosed herein is a system and method for determining that a current user profile in a system should be modified or changed. An audience detection component detects that a characteristic has been detected that does not match at least one characteristic in the current user profile. The audience detection component determines how the profile should be modified or restricted based on the inputs received from the sensors. The modified profile is then provided to a recommender system so that appropriate content may be suggested to the consumers without any further intervention or action required by the user. | 12-18-2014 |

20150073931 | FEATURE SELECTION FOR RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS - Disclosed herein is a system and method for identifying features of items that are more relevant for making recommendations to consumers for content that they may be interested in. The system determines the similarity between items that are recommend and items in the user's history and compares that similarity measure to the similarity measure calculated for a random item on the same features. From this similarity measure the relative impactfullness of a particular feature on a recommendation can be determined. | 03-12-2015 |
