Patent number: 11100466Abstract: A system is presented that profiles authors and social media data across different media platforms and is capable of determining the author's overall social impact. In one aspect, this is accomplished by using a data retrieval service to trawl various web-sites and social media platforms for information about authors which can then be associated with those authors in a profile database. In one example, an author may post an entry on his/her blog and the data retrieval service can access the profile information of the author, on the blog, where various aspects of the profile information (e.g., real name, employee information, home address) can be matched with candidates in a profile database. From the information gathered, authors can be linked across multiple, different platforms, and an overall social impact of each of the authors can be determined.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: NASDAQ, INC.Inventors: Deepak Chandrasekaran, David Costello, Paul Stubbs

Patent number: 11093553Abstract: Embodiments provide an overview visualization of graph data by rendering a graph's structure based upon different node/edge types, rather than upon a total number of nodes and/or edges. These node/edge types are recognized based upon associated metadata. The small number of different node/edge types of a typical graph reduces components for representation in the overview, simplifying that visualization and facilitating user interaction. A user can switch between the graph overview, and a different view affording node-level details. In analysis and/or querying, switching between the overview and the detailed visualization can afford natural and intuitive control over data granularity. For example the overview visualization of graph data may allow a user to initially filter on particular node types, with the subsequent node-level view permitting exploration of finer details while maintaining the overall context of the original graph.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: BUSINESS OBJECTS SOFTWARE LTDInventors: Alexei Potiagalov, Sarah Menard, Paul Ekeland, Ivailo Ivanov

Patent number: 11061975Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automatically suggesting members of a social media system as recipients for sharing an item of social media content. Computerized analysis of the social media content includes image analysis, audio analysis, and language analysis for classifying the content. Profiles of participants within a social media system are examined to determine candidates for sharing. A subset of participants having profiles with metadata deemed relevant to the analyzed social media content is obtained. For each participant in the subset, an interaction score is computed, indicative of the amount of interaction between the participant and the sender of the content has occurred previously. The subset is ranked based on the interaction score. Participants having an interaction score above a predetermined threshold are deemed to be candidates for sharing the item of social media content, and are presented to a user on an electronic display.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2017Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark P.
