Patent number: 10445677Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an architectural structure for representing an underlying business and tools to support dynamic adjustment of the structure. A social media metric is created and associated with a business metric of a component represented in the architectural structure, and an impact on the underlying business is identified and measured based upon this association. Accordingly, elements of the structure are parsed and analyzed, and in response to the analysis, the structure is dynamically modified to mitigate receipt of measured negative output data.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Susanne M. Glissmann, Ana Lelescu, Ignacio G. Terrizzano

Patent number: 9348884Abstract: Techniques for reducing a number of computations in a data storage process are provided. One or more computational elements are identified in the data storage process. An ordered structure of one or more nodes is generated using the one or more computational elements. Each of the one or more nodes represents one or more computational elements. Further, a weight is assigned to each of the one or more nodes. An ordered structure of one or more reusable nodes is generated by deleting one or more nodes in accordance with the assigned weights. The ordered structure of one or more reusable nodes is utilized to reduce the number of computations in the data storage process. The data storage process converts data from a first format into a second format, and stores the data in the second format on a computer readable medium for data analysis purposes.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2008Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ying Chen, Bin He, Ana Lelescu

Patent number: 9218377Abstract: A method of data loading for large information warehouses includes performing checkpointing concurrently with data loading into an information warehouse, the checkpointing ensuring consistency among multiple tables; and recovering from a failure in the data loading using the checkpointing. A method is also disclosed for performing versioning concurrently with data loading into an information warehouse. The versioning method enables processing undo and redo operations of the data loading between a later version and a previous version. Data load failure recovery is performed without starting a data load from the beginning but rather from a latest checkpoint for data loading at an information warehouse level using a checkpoint process characterized by a state transition diagram having a multiplicity of states; and tracking state transitions among the states using a system state table.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2008Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ying Chen, Bin He, Ana Lelescu, James J. Rhodes, Rui Wang

Patent number: 8577834Abstract: A method and analytics tools for locating experts with specific sets of expertise are disclosed, the method including providing a collection of documents P0; generating categories representing fields of expertise derived from the collection of documents P0; refining the taxonomy of the categories by applying user domain knowledge; extracting structured fields from the collection of documents P0; constructing a contingency table having a first axis defined by the extracted structured fields and a second axis defined by the categories; and using the contingency table to identify a set of experts having a related expertise. The method may also include a network graph analysis that aids visualization of the relationship between people and expertise.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2008Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ying Chen, Jeffrey Thomas Kreulen, Ana Lelescu, James J. Rhodes, William Scott Spangler

Patent number: 8479158Abstract: A method for use with an information (or data) warehouse comprises managing the information warehouse with instructions in a declarative language. The instructions specify information warehouse-level tasks to be done without specifying certain details of how the tasks are to be implemented, for example, using databases and text indexers. The details are hidden from the user and include, for example, in an information warehouse having a FACT table that joins two or more dimension tables, details of database level operations when structured data are being handled, including database command line utilities, database drivers, and structured query language (SQL) statements; and details of text-indexing engines when unstructured data are being handled. The information warehouse is managed in a dynamic way in which different tasks—such as data loading tasks and information warehouse construction tasks—may be interleaved (i.e., there is no particular order in which the different tasks must be completed).Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2008Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ying Chen, Bin He, Ana Lelescu, James J.
