A method and system for reliably and consistently delivering client requests in a computer network having at least one client connectable to one or more servers among a group of servers, wherein each server among the group of servers replicates a particular network service to ensure that the particular network service remains uninterrupted in the event of a server failure. A particular server is designated among the group of servers to manage client requests which seek to update a particular network service state, prior to any receipt of a client request which seeks to update the particular network service state by any remaining servers among the group of servers. Thereafter, an executable order is specified in which client requests which seek to update the particular network service state are processed among the remaining servers, such that the executable order, upon execution, sequences the client request which seeks to update the particular network service state with respect to all prior and subsequent client requests. The executable order and the client request which seeks to update the particular network service state are automatically transferred to the remaining servers from the particular server, in response to initiating the client request. Thereafter, the client request which seeks to update the particular network service state is processed in a tentative mode at the particular server without waiting for the executable order to be executed through to completion among the remaining servers.

A new recommendation technique, referred to as "personality diagnosis", that can be seen as a hybrid between memory-based and model-based collaborative filtering techniques, is described. Using personality diagnosis, all data may be maintained throughout the processes, new data can be added incrementally, and predictions have meaningful probabilistic semantics. Each entity's (e.g., user's) reported attributes (e.g., item ratings or preferences) may be interpreted as a manifestation of their underlying personality type. Personality type may be encoded simply as a vector of the entity's (e.g., user's) "true" values (e.g., ratings) for attributes (e.g., items) in the database. It may be assumed that entities (e.g., users) report values (e.g., ratings) with a distributed (e.g., Gaussian) error. Given an active entity's (e.g., user's) known attribute values (e.g., item ratings), the probability that they have the same personality type as every other entity (e.g., user) may be determined. Then, the probability that they will have a given value (e.g., rating) for a valueless (e.g., unrated) attribute (e.g., item) may then be determined based on the entity's (e.g., user's) personality type. The probabilistic determinations may be used to determine expected value of information. Such an expected value of information could be used in at least two ways. First, an interactive recommender could use expected value of information to favorably order queries for attribute values (e.g., item ratings), thereby mollifying what could otherwise be a tedious and frustrating process. Second, expected value of information could be used to determine which entries of a database to prune or ignore-that is, which entries, which if removed, would have a minimal effect of the accuracy of recommendations.

A collating table containing user-defined sort criteria in ranked order is employed in sorting electronic mail messages for display to the user. Entries within the collating table prioritize unread and / or previously viewed messages based upon the address of the sender or similar attributes, and may each contain a specific username and domain address, a domain of user addresses, or a plurality of addresses of either type. Entries within the collating table may be fixed or dynamic, with dynamic entries automatically updated based on historical statistics relating to the frequency and / or speed of response by the user to messages previously received from the sender, speed of opening or deleting prior messages from the sender, or some user-specified combination of such attributes. Addresses within the dynamic entries may percolate up or down the ranking of the collating table, with aging employed in removing addresses from the collating table. Other users may be given access to portions of the collating table to rank their own messages to the user, and specific messages may be ranked within or above any messages received from addresses within the collating table until deleted.

A voice controlled voice-messaging systems permits manipulation of voice messages over the telephone without the need for keypressed commands. Manipulation includes playback of messages, deletion of messages, saving messages, and sending a new message to a recipient from a user-defined list. Access to the messaging system is by spoken password. Voice input also allows the following functions: enrollment of a spoken password; granting or refusing user access to the system based on verification of the user speaking a password; recognition of spoken utterances of "yes" and "no" in response to prompts by the VMS; recognition of "stop" to interrupt and stop a voice message during playback; enrollment of a spoken personal directory of names of potential message recipients; and recognition of names in the spoken personal directory. The invention uses speaker verification, speaker-independent recognition (SIR) of "yes / no", speaker-independent recognition of "stop" during message playback, and speaker-dependent recognition (SDR) of a limited vocabulary of short phrases such as a list of message recipients' names.

A method and apparatus for creating a statistical representation of a query result that can be performed without executing the underlying query. For a binary-join query, a scan is performed on one of the join tables. A multiplicity value that estimates the number of tuples in the other join table that has a matching join attribute to the scanned tuple is calculated. A number of copies (as determined by the multiplicity value) are placed in a stream of tuples that is sampled to compile the statistical representation of the query result. For acyclic-join generating queries including selections, the above procedure is recursively extended. If multiple statistical representations are sought, scans can be shared. Scan sharing can be optimized using shortest common supersequence techniques.
