Publication number: 20120290345Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method and system for analyzing a plurality of reports. More specifically, a change detection module predicts results of future reports based on past reports and identifies a first report that deviates from its predicted results. A dependency analysis module connected to the change detection module at least one report sharing a dependency with the first report by performing a dependency analysis and/or a usage analysis. The dependency analysis labels the first report and at least one second report as sharing a dependency if the second report deviates from its predicted results. The usage analysis labeling the first report and at least one report analyzed by an analyst as sharing a dependency if the report analyzed by the analyst is analyzed in response to the identification of the first report.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sumit Negi, Manish A.

Publication number: 20120054249Abstract: In the context of data administration in enterprises, an effective manner of providing a central data warehouse, particularly via employing a tool that helps by analyzing existing data and reports from different business units. In accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention, such a tool analyzes the data model of an enterprise and proposes alternatives for building a new data warehouse. The tool, in accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention, models the problem of identifying fact/dimension attributes of a warehouse model as a graph cut on a Dependency Analysis Graph (DAG). The DAG is built using existing data models and the report generation scripts. The tool also uses the DAG for generation of ETL (Extract, Transform Load) scripts that can be used to populate the newly proposed data warehouse from data present in the existing schemas.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2010Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Vishal Singh Batra, Manish Anand Bhide, Mukesh Kumar Mohania, Sumit Negi

Patent number: 7542970Abstract: A selection system and method. The selection method comprises receiving, by a computing system, a taxonomy of data related to a specified domain of knowledge on the web. A taxonomy tree is constructed from the taxonomy. A sub tree related to a sub-domain from specified domain is selected from the taxonomy tree. A first list comprising user expected universal resource locators (URLs) related to the sub-domain is received. A second list comprising topic expressions defining each node of the taxonomy sub-tree is generated. A query based on the second list is generated. The query is applied on an index of URLs generated from a web crawling process to generate a third list. A recall value is calculated based on the first list and the third list.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2006Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Scott Richard Holmes, Hongcheng Mi, Sumit Negi, Zengyan Zhang

Publication number: 20070162447Abstract: A method (400) is disclosed of extracting factoids from text repositories, with the factoids being associated with a given factoid category. The method (400) starts by training a classifier (230) to recognise factoids relevant to that given factoid category. Documents or document summaries relevant to the given factoid category is next collected (410) from the text repositories. Sentences having a predetermined association to the given factoid category is extracted (420) from the documents or said document summaries. Those sentences are classified (440), in a noisy environment, using the classifier (230) to extract snippets containing phrases relevant to the given factoid category. It is the extracted snippets that are the factoid associated with the given factoid category.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2005Publication date: July 12, 2007Inventors: Sachindra Joshi, Raghuram Krishnapuram, Nimit Kumar, Kiran Mehta, Sumit Negi, Ganesh Ramakrishnan, Scott Holmes

Publication number: 20060248087Abstract: A system and method of retrieving data from a database comprising unstructured data comprises specifying a text analytic component in an unstructured text query at query runtime; submitting the unstructured text query to a web service database; filtering unstructured text data in the web service database based on constraints defined in the text analytic component in the query; and receiving the filtered unstructured text data based on the submitted query from the web service database, wherein the text analytic component comprises metadata requirements. Preferably, the constraints comprise any of positive sentiments regarding an unstructured text document and negative sentiments regarding the unstructured text document. Alternatively, the constraints may comprise any of name spotting constraints, address spotting constraints, date spotting constraints, and entity spotting constraints. The filtering preferably occurs using a web-based callback service specified in a WFQL XML document.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2005Publication date: November 2, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Neeraj Agrawal, Scott Holmes, Kiran Mehta, Sumit Negi
