Patent number: 9569414Abstract: The present invention provides an approach and corresponding framework that separates data from its formatting/view by generating the dynamic JavaScript (data) as a set (e.g., at least one) of JavaScript (data) objects, without any HTML formatting. Then, a set of JavaScript functions can be created that takes the set of JavaScript objects as a parameter, and outputs all or a subset of this data object in a format determined by this JavaScript function. In general, these formatting functions can be static, rather than dynamic, JavaScript. This approach has the advantage of providing a much greater degree of formatting flexibility, without the need for each new format to establish a connection with the back-end system providing the data.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jennifer Lai, Zhiqiang Liu, Brian J. McDonald, Laurie Miller, Yael Ravin, Karen A. Ughetta

Patent number: 8813255Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for security classification applying social norming. More specifically, content is received from a user via an interface; and, a data repository connected to the interface stores the content. A portal connected to the data repository identifies an attempt to access the content from a non-user. A program processor connected to the portal determines whether the content includes a security classification. When the content does not include a security classification, a communications module connected to the program processor sends an alert to the user. The alert includes a request to assign a security classification to the content. When the content includes a security classification, the communications module sends a message to the user, wherein the message includes a request to verify the security classification.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tamer E. Abuelsaad, John H. Handy-Bosma, Yael Ravin, William D. Morrison

Publication number: 20060078868Abstract: A computer system, method, program product, and service method for evaluating a learning program/service is disclosed with one or more databases having one or more variables. The invention systematically determines the attractiveness of the program/service, preferably a learning program, to one or more end users by determining one or more variables. Each of the variables defines one or more aspects of the learning program/service. An assessment value is associated with each of the variables. The assessment value is a combination of two or more importance assessments given by one or more of the users for each of the respective aspects. A provisioning value is also associated with each of the variables. The provisioning value is a combination of two or more availability assessments given by one or more stake holders for the respective aspect.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2004Publication date: April 13, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Patricia Douglas, Peter Fairweather, Janis Morariu, Stephen Rae, Yael Ravin

Patent number: 6571239Abstract: This invention provides methods, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture which solve the problem of mismatch between the keywords employed by a user in making a query and those assigned by the manual or automatic classification system stored in the system's keyword index. The system records the initial keyword(s) input by the user and holds them until the user is either satisfied or gives up. If in a query session the user is satisfied with the object(s) retrieved from the repository, the system associates the initial keywords(s) with the retrieved object(s). This facilitates the object's retrieval by the same user or subsequent users who input the same keywords. The keyword index is modified directly when, for example, a single service or application controls the interaction between user and repository, end to end.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2000Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Alan George Cole, Yael Ravin, Howard Edward Sachar

Patent number: 6438543Abstract: A method for coreferencing a plurality of documents includes the steps of providing a name list for names extracted from documents to be coreferenced upon entry of a query by a user, sorting the names of the list of names into mergable names and exclusive sets, comparing contexts of the mergable names against the exclusive sets to merge the mergable names to the exclusive sets exceeding a predetermined threshold to form an aggregated cross-document name list and referencing the aggregated cross-document name list to provide the user with coreferenced names across the plurality of documents which refer to a same entity in accordance with the query.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1999Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Zunaid H.

Patent number: 5832480Abstract: Descriptive canonical forms of entity types are created by scanning one or more documents in a database of a computer system to identify one or more proper names that appear in the documents as raw names. Each of the raw names has zero or more proper names, zero or more medial substrings, zero or more leading substrings, and zero or more trailing substrings. The raw names of one or more documents are "cleaned" and "split" until certain "cleaning and splitting conditions" are no longer met to obtain a list of clean and split candidate names. Anchor names are selected from the list that unambiguously represent an entity type. The anchor names have one or more entity-type attribute values. Variant names, clean and split candidate names having one or more shared attribute (values) with the anchor name, are combined with the anchor name to create an equivalence group of names that refer to the same entity. A canonical form is generated for the group from a subset of the anchor name attributes.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1996Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Roy Jefferson Byrd, Jr., Misook A. Choi, Yael Ravin, Faye Nina Wacholder
