Publication number: 20220300836Abstract: A visualization recommendation system generates recommendation scores for multiple visualizations that combine data attributes of a dataset with visualization configurations. The visualization recommendation system maps meta-features of the dataset to a meta-feature space and configuration attributes of the visualization configurations to a configuration space. The visualization recommendation system generates meta-feature vectors that describe the mapped meta-features, and generates configuration attribute sets that describe the attributes of the visualization configurations. The visualization recommendation system applies multiple scoring models to the meta-feature vectors and configuration attribute sets, including a wide scoring model and a deep scoring model. In some cases, the visualization recommendation system trains the multiple scoring models using the meta-feature vectors and configuration attribute sets.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2021Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Ryan Rossi, Xin Qian, Tak Yeon Lee, Sungchul Kim, Sana Lee, Fan Du, Eunyee Koh

Publication number: 20220147708Abstract: A dataset captioning system is described that generates captions of text to describe insights identified from a dataset, automatically and without user intervention. To do so, given an input of a dataset the dataset captioning system determines which data insights are likely to support potential visualizations of the dataset, generates text based on these insights, orders the text, processes the ordered text for readability, and then outputs the text as a caption. These techniques also include adjustments made to the complexity of the text, globalization of the text, inclusion of links to outside sources of information, translation of the text, and so on as part of generating the caption.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2020Publication date: May 12, 2022Applicant: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Eunyee Koh, Xin Qian, Tak Yeon Lee, Sana Malik Lee, Ryan Anthony Rossi, Fan Du, Duy-Trung Trong Dinh

Patent number: 9973521Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose populating a database by conducting a training phase to analyze training security log streams. A server extracts the words contained within the training security log and replaces each of the extracted words with a symbol to form a symbol string and an n-gram scan is conducted on the symbol string to generate statistical data. Tokens are extracted from symbol string, where the tokens are words, phrase or alphanumeric sequence represented by a symbol within training security log stream. The symbol string is replaced with the words they represent to allow for the identification of the actual token phrases. A scan is conducted on the token phrase to acquire scan data on the identified token phrases. Once the tokens, position information, and scan data are known they are stored within the database to allow security log streams to be analyzed in real time.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tien Hiong Lee, Konstantin Levinski, Xin Qian, Harjoben Singh, Weng Sing Tang
