Patent number: 10614038Abstract: A technique for performing deduplication on compressed data in a file system operates inline with storage requests, e.g., prior to writing compressed data specified in those storage requests to persistent file system structures.

Patent number: 10482115Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for conducting questions and answers with deferred type evaluation based on any corpus of data. The method includes processing a query including waiting until a “Type” (i.e. a descriptor) is determined AND a candidate answer is provided. Then, a search is conducted to look (search) for evidence that the candidate answer has the required Lexical Answer Type (e.g., as determined by a matching function that can leverage a parser, a semantic interpreter and/or a simple pattern matcher). Prior to or during candidate answer evaluation, a process is provided for extracting and storing collections of entity-type pairs from semi-structured text documents. During QA processing and candidate answer scoring, a process is implemented to match the query LAT against the lexical type of each provided candidate answer and generate a score judging a degree of match.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James W.
