  • Patent number: 11195135
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for an entity ranking system. In one embodiment, a computing system is configured to interface with one or more domains to identify a set of entities. The computing system can ascertain a first set of data components for each entity, normalize each of the first set of data components for each entity, and detect a failure to ascertain a second set of data components. The computing system can compute a statistical probability for a possible set of values for each data component of the second set based on the ascertained first set of data components. The computing system can rank each entity based on a derived quantile. The computing system can generate a graphical user interface including a visualization of the ranking of each entity, which can be rendered on a display of the at least one user computing devices.

  • Patent number: 10019442
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system delivering graph-based metric to measure a similarity between weighted sets of classifications codes (presented as nodes) defined on hierarchical taxonomy trees. The suggested method is applied to find company peers in a particular domain, e.g., the IP domain based on a company patent portfolio. The suggested method may be applied to other domains that include hierarchical classifications such as trademarks, legal documents, scientific papers, lawsuits etc.

  • Patent number: 7548913
    Abstract: A method of generating a report from multiple sources includes obtaining a topic based on input queries relating to the topic, obtaining information about the topic from the multiple sources, where the information includes excerpts from the multiple sources that meet one or more criteria, and generating the report using the excerpts. Generating the report includes obtaining subtopics for the excerpts, organizing the excerpts based on the subtopics, and editing text in the excerpts.

  • Publication number: 20070250492
    Abstract: This document describes, among other things, a visual search experience editor for providing a tailored search experience to one or more end-users. In certain examples, the editor provides a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWIG)-type interface, so that an administrative user can see what the tailored search experience will look like to the end-user. This may include the ability to review live search results or other specialized transaction interface results responsive to the tailored search. This document also describes various techniques of triggering tailored search experiences, as well as techniques for mapping queries to tailored search experiences, such as to generalize a particular tailored search for a particular query to apply to other similar queries.

  • Patent number: 6490549
    Abstract: A method is given for automatically rewriting orthography of a stream of text words, for example, automatically and properly capitalizing words in the stream. If a word in the stream has an entry in an orthography rewrite lexicon, the word is automatically replaced with an orthographically rewritten form of the word from the orthography rewrite lexicon. In addition, selected words in the stream are compared to a plurality of features weighted by a maximum entropy-based algorithm, to automatically determine whether to rewrite orthography of any of the selected words.
