Patent number: 10915520Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generate visual summaries of data and improve the same using cognitive feedback. In one embodiment, a data visualization application determines properties associated with data or portion(s) thereof, and then generates and combines visualizations of the determined properties into visual data summaries. Examples of visualizations that may be generated include box plots, histograms, graphs, charts, and word clouds. Examples of visual summaries that combine such visualizations include videos, animated GIF (Graphics Interchanged Format) files, powerpoints, PDF (Portable Document Format) files, and web pages. Subsequent to generating visual summaries, the data visualization application may monitor user interactions with those visual summaries and update the same by rebuilding the visual summaries based on the user interactions.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joseph True, Sushain Pandit

Patent number: 10242094Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes identifying an information resource. The information resource includes text information. The information resource includes a contribution from an entry source. The entry source is associated with a profile. The profile includes at least one profile information item that describes the entry source. The method includes generating a first word cloud. The first word cloud is based on one or more words used within the text information. The first word cloud includes a first plurality of words. The method includes generating a second word cloud. The second word cloud is based on at least one profile information item. The second word cloud includes a second plurality of words.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ilse M.

Patent number: 9989368Abstract: A set of smart devices includes a first smart device physically placed at a first geolocation and a second smart device physically placed at a second geolocation. The first and second smart devices obtain their first and second current geolocations. The first smart device sends the first current geolocation and a first roadway status information indicating a start of the roadway to a mapping service over a wireless communications network, and the second smart device also sends the second current geolocation and a second roadway status information indicating an end of the roadway to the mapping service. The first and second roadway status information may further indicates that the roadway defined by the first and second current geolocations is a closed roadway or a detour. The mapping service may calculate routes based on the first and second geolocations and the first and second roadway status information.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2016Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Joseph A. True
