A solution for evaluating a plurality of entities includes assigning an attribute score to each entity for each of a multitude of attributes. For one or more of the attributes, the corresponding attribute score is assigned based on a ranking of each entity with respect to the other entities for the attribute. A composite score is generated for each entity based on the attribute scores for the attributes, which can be further processed to, for example, identify a set of suspicious entities.

The profitability and effectiveness of a marketing program is increased by segmenting the customer population according to a combination of different segmentation strategies. A number of independent segmentation strategies are performed on the customers, each strategy resulting in its own set of scores. The sets of scores are then combined to form a composite score for each customer which is used to generate a ranked list of the customer population. Furthermore, different composite scores can be determined using different possible methods and these different scores can, themselves, be combined to generate an overall score and ranking for each customer. The targeted recipients for particular marketing materials are selected based on these rankings.

A computerized method of detecting a target word in a speech signal. A speech recognition engine and a previously constructed phoneme model is provided. The speech signal is input into the speech recognition engine. Based on the phoneme model, the input speech signal is indexed. A time-ordered list is stored representing n-best phoneme candidates of the input speech signal and phonemes of the input speech signal in multiple phoneme frames. The target word is transcribed into a transcription of target phonemes. The time-ordered list of n-best phoneme candidates is searched for a locus of said target phonemes. While searching, scoring is based on the ranking of the phoneme candidates among the n-best phoneme candidates and based on the number of the target phonemes found. A composite score of the probability of an occurrence of the target word is produced. When the composite score is higher than a threshold, start and finish times are output which bound the locus. The start and finish times are input into an algorithm adapted for sequence alignment based on dynamic programming for aligning a portion of the phoneme frames with the target phonemes.
