Patent number: 11714602Abstract: A reference map generator clusters, into a semantic map, a set of data documents selected according to at least one criterion and associated with a medical diagnosis. A parser generates an enumeration of measurements occurring in the set of data documents. A representation generator generates for each measurement in the enumeration, a sparse distributed representation (SDR). The method includes storing, by a processor on a second computing device, in each of a plurality of memory cells on the second computing device, one of the generated SDRs. A diagnosis support module receives a document comprising a plurality of measurements. The representation generator generates a compound SDR for the document.

Patent number: 11681700Abstract: To the standard operations of an inverted index database, a new “To” operator is added. The “To” operator treats the standard single-level linear collection of records as being organized into localized clusters. Techniques for hierarchical clusters are presented. During indexing, hierarchical clusters are serialized according to a uniform visitation procedure. Serialization produces bit maps, one for each hierarchical level, that preserve the hierarchical level of each record and its location in the serialization sequence. For non-hierarchical clusters, byte maps can be produced. The “To” operator accepts a list of records, each at a same hierarchical level in a cluster, and a specification of a hierarchical level that all the input records should be converted into. The “To” operator outputs a list of records, representing a conversion of the input records to the specified new level. Logical Forms, against which frame extraction rules match, can be stored in hierarchical clusters.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: NetBase Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Lei Li, Mark Edward Bowles

Patent number: 11604808Abstract: Metadata is replicated. For instance, in response to receiving a request for replicating metadata to a target node, information of an index structure associated with the metadata is obtained. The index structure may include terminal nodes for storing the metadata and index nodes for storing index information of the terminal nodes. Next, the metadata from the terminal nodes is extracted based on the information of the index structure. Further, a sequence is generated to be replicated of the metadata. The sequence to be replicated includes items of the metadata, and locations of the items in the sequence to be replicated are determined based on key information corresponding to the items. In addition, the items of the metadata, in the sequence to be replicated, are replicated to the target node. In this way, only the metadata in the index structure is replicated, thereby reducing the data amount of replication.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Xiao Chen, Richard Ding
