20140072285 | Media Summarization - Techniques for summarizing media are described. A viewer-interaction analyzer receives a media file containing media, the media file including a plurality of segments. A segment of the media file is scored based on interactions of a set of raters. Viewer metrics on the segment of the media file are measured based on interactions with the segment of the media file by a set of viewers. A set of feature vectors are formed based on the measured viewer interactions, where feature vectors in the set of feature vectors are based on interactions of the set of viewers. A model is trained based on the set of feature vectors and the score assigned to the segment of the media file. The model is applied to segments of the media file to generate an interest rating for segments of the media file. An edited media file is generated based on segments of the media file having interest ratings that meet a criterion. The Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 03-13-2014 |

20140188894 | TOUCH TO SEARCH - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying a query for selected content. In one aspect, a method includes receiving gesture data specifying a user gesture interacting with a portion of displayed content. A subset of the content is identified based on the gesture data. A set of candidate search queries is identified based on the subset of the content. A likelihood score is determined for each candidate search query. The likelihood score for a candidate search query indicates a likelihood that the candidate search query is an intended search query specified by the user gesture. The likelihood score for each candidate search query is adjusted using a normalization factor. The normalization factor can be based on a number of characters included in the candidate search query. One or more of the candidate search queries are selected based on the adjusted likelihood scores. | 07-03-2014 |
20140280109 | User-Guided Term Suggestions - Methods and apparatus related to providing user-guided term suggestions. Some implementations may be directed to identifying user input that includes at least one term and identifying a user-initiated activity near the term. An edit term may be identified based on the user-initiated activity near the term, an edit position in the edit term may be identified, and one or more candidate terms may be identified based on the edit term. Similarity measures for the candidate terms may be determined. The similarity measure of a given candidate term of the candidate terms may be based on the edit position. One or more of the candidate terms may be selected as suggested terms based on the similarity measures and the selected suggested terms provided for potential replacement of the edit term. | 09-18-2014 |
