Publication number: 20210109923Abstract: A method for contextual data visualization includes receiving data selected by a user and meta-data associated with the data. The data is analyzed, using a processor of a computing device, to determine content and structure attributes of the data that are relevant to visualization of the data. The meta-data is analyzed, using a processor of the computing device, to determine a context in which the visualization of the data will be used. A database comprising an aggregation of visualization records from a plurality of users is accessed and at least one template from the data visualization records that matches the data attributes and context is selected. A data visualization is created by applying at least one template to the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Al Chakra, John Feller, Trudy L.

Patent number: 10528674Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to implement a cognitive system for capturing referential information. The cognitive system receives a first indication that a group text messaging conversation is in a muted state for a first user. The cognitive system detects a first use of a referential phrase in the group text messaging conversation during a first time period when the group text messaging conversation is in the muted state. The cognitive system receives a second indication that the group text messaging conversation is in a non-muted state. The cognitive system detects a second use of the referential phrase in the group text messaging conversation during a second time period when the group text messaging conversation is in the non-muted state. The second time period is subsequent to the first time period.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert H.

Patent number: 10397302Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for receiving a set of attributes that identify a pegged area of a page delivered to a user interface during a first browsing session and storing the set of attributes. Additionally, the set of attributes may be used to conduct a subsequent delivery of the pegged area to a user interface during a second browsing session, wherein the subsequent delivery of the pegged area excludes portions of the page that are outside the pegged area. In one example, the subsequent delivery is conducted further based on the type of client device participating in the second browsing session.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Al Chakra, John A.
