Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that effectuate generation of alternative expressions or phrasings for short descriptions, proper nouns or places. The system can include devices that select and associate an item with a prompt, displays the selected item and then obscures the item with the prompt associated with the item, elicits a response from users to the prompt based on a motivational statement constructed to solicit an appropriate response from the user. The response elicited from the user and the item selected associated with one another and then persisted to storage media.

Claims

1. A system implemented on a machine that effectuates and facilitates generation of alternative expressions or phrasings for short descriptions, proper nouns or places, comprising:

a component that receives from an interface at least one of listings or input from human intermediaries, the component utilizes the listings to select and associate an item from the listings with a prompt stored in a database, the component displays the item from the listings initially and further displays the prompt subsequently, the prompt obscures the item, based at least in part on the item and the prompt utilized the component constructs a motivational statement employed to elicit a response from the human intermediaries, the response persisted by the component to a storage component.

2. The system of claim 1, the listings include at least one of a catalogue of items or search terms, information retrieved based at least in part on the search terms, each item from the catalogue of items includes a title.

3. The system of claim 2, the title includes at least one of business names, song titles, company directory names, short descriptions, or short phrases.

4. The system of claim 1, the storage component includes a transcription file formatted in at least one of a text format or an audio format, the transcription file includes the response elicited from the human intermediaries.

5. The system of claim 1, the prompt includes at least one of images, music jingles, advertising media, viral videos, or corporate logos.

6. The claim of claim 1, the component utilizes the response from the human intermediaries to assign points to the human intermediaries that have a corresponding response.

7. The claim of claim 1, the component utilizes at least one attribute associated with the prompt to associate the item with the prompt.

8. The system of claim 1, the component employs at least one of artificial intelligence modalities or machine learning techniques to generate the motivational statement.

9. A machine implemented method that facilitates and effectuates generation of alternative expressions or phrasings for proper nouns, short descriptions, or places, comprising:

employing a listing to select an item from the listing;

associating the item with a prompt stored in a database;

displaying the item;

obscuring the item with the prompt;

constructing a motivational statement based on the item and the prompt;

eliciting a response from human intermediaries based on the motivational statement; and

storing the response to a persistence device.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprises assigning points to the human intermediaries based on a correspondence of the response supplied by the human intermediaries.

11. The method of claim 9, the human intermediaries includes a live intermediary emulator that utilizes previously elicited alternative phrasings as the response.

12. The method of claim 9, the constructing further comprising employing at least one of artificial intelligence or machine learning.

13. The method of claim 9, further comprising associating the response from the human intermediaries with the item.

14. The method of claim 9, the listing includes one of labels or search terms.

15. The method of claim 9, the storing further comprising generating a file formatted in at least one of a text format or an audiovisual format.

16. The method of claim 9, the response includes one or more alternative phrasings for the item.

17. A system that effectuates and facilitates generation of alternative expressions or phrasings for at least one of proper nouns, short descriptions, or places, comprising:

means for selecting items from a listing of business names;

means for selectively retrieving images from repositories;

means for eliciting responses from a user; and

means for associating tags to items based at least in part on the responses from the user.

18. The system of claim 17, the means for selecting utilizes at least one of a predetermined ordering or a dynamically determined ordering to identify items from the listing.

19. The system of claim 17, the means for selectively retrieving employs the items from the listing of business names to retrieve the images from the repositories

20. The system of claim 17, the means for eliciting responses generates a motivational statement to which the user responds.
