Social information, including computer communication information, is modeled according to a network approach, and users are provided with representations of patterns within their social spaces and graphical interface tools for navigating through the spaces. This can enhance the user's ability to seek out social information and manage their online social relationships. The social mapping includes automatically collecting computer communication information relating to multiple contacts who are in computer communication with each other, one of the multiple contacts being a selected user. The computer communication information is filtered according to one or more preselected criteria to maintain the number of contacts associated with the selected user at or below a selected threshold. The computer communication information is analyzed to determine extents of similarity between the multiple contacts. A visualization of a social map based upon the extents of similarity between the multiple contacts is rendered on a computer display screen so that a user can access and navigate information represented in the social map visualization.

The present system can perform machine learning of prototypical descriptions of data elements for extraction from machine-readable documents. Document templates are created from sets of training documents that can be used to extract data from form documents, such as: fill-in forms used for taxes; flex-form documents having many variants, such as bills of lading or insurance notifications; and some context-form documents having a description or graphic indicator in proximity to a data element. In response to training documents, the system performs an inductive reasoning process to generalize a document template so that the location of data elements can be predicted for the training examples. The automatically generated document template can then be used to extract data elements from a wide variety of form documents.

A knowledge provider system is configured as a plurality of data servers connected via a data communication network, which function as respective knowledge provider agents in response to information request messages sent from users of the network. Each agent holds a script which contains a knowledge base, and data defining predetermined message formats for respective types of messages and predetermined content formats for respective types of message contents which can be handled by that agent. A message received by an agent is pattern-matched against the message formats, if it is thereby found to be an information request message the message content portion is pattern-matched against the predetermined content formats, and if that matching is successful, the subject for which information is requested is pattern-matched against the contents of the knowledge base, to find a set of information corresponding to that subject. If any of the pattern matching operations is not successful, the agent originates messages for successively propagating the content portion of that information request message to other agents via the network. Obtained information is then sent back to the originating agent and hence to the user.

A request dispatcher can automatically switch between processing request dispatches (e.g., include( )) in a synchronous mode and an asynchronous mode. Each dispatch can be associated with a unique identification value such as a process ID or Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), historic metrics, and a ruleset. With each execution of the request dispatch, historic metrics can be collected. Metrics can include, but is not limited to, execution duration and/or execution frequency, processor load, memory usage, network input/output, number of dependent dispatches, and the like. Utilizing historic metrics, rules can be constructed for determining which mode to execute the subsequent execution of the dispatch. As such, runtime optimization of Web applications can be further improved.

An automatic speech segmentation and verification system and method is disclosed, which has a known text script and a recorded speech corpus corresponding to the known text script. A speech unit segmentor segments the recorded speech corpus into N test speech unit segments referring to the phonetic information of the known text script.
