Abstract: A TV viewer profile initializer for reducing the time it takes for an implicit profiler-based TV recommender to produce accurate TV recommendations. The profiles initializer utilizes stereotype profiles from a substantial pool of TV viewing behavior of a representative number of TV viewers. By applying clustering methods to such data, stereotype profiles can emerge. New viewers are then be offered a selection of stereotype profiles to choose from to initialize their own personal TV viewing profile. Thus, a single choice will suffice to provide a predictable TV show recommender that is presumably fairly close to a viewer's own preferences. After this initialization, the profile can be adapted by the user's own viewing behavior to migrate from the initial stereotype towards a more accurate profile of the user.

IPC: G01M11/08
Filed: 2003-06-24
Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for determining information regarding
the result of introducing a rotational force on an optical fiber during
manufacturing. A rotational deformation of the molten fiber, called spin, is
imparted that becomes permanent upon cooling of the fiber. The rotational force
also introduces twist on the cooled fiber, which is a non-permanent, mechanical
rotation of the fiber. The system and method uses a diameter measuring device
that produces a signal corresponding to the fiber's diameter with respect to time.
Since the fiber is slightly elliptical in practice, periodic variations in the diameter
measurement signal are detected that reflect the rotation imparted into the fiber.
The signal is further processed to provide data regarding the effect of the rotations
introduced into the fiber, namely the twist and spin present in the fiber.
