  • Patent number: 10055402
    Abstract: A device may obtain text to be analyzed to determine semantic connections between sections of the text. The device may identify subject-verb-object (SVO) units included in the text, and may determine SVO unit information that describes the SVO units. The device may analyze the SVO unit information to determine semantic connection information that identifies one or more semantic connections between two or more of the SVO units. The one or more semantic connections may identify relationships between verbs associated with the two or more of the SVO units. The device may generate a semantic network based on the SVO unit information and the semantic connection information, and may provide information regarding the semantic network.

  • Patent number: 10033598
    Abstract: Cloud computing has emerged as an extremely popular implementation option for a wide range of computing services. However, provisioning services into the cloud is an extremely difficult technical challenge. This is due in part to the regular emergence of new cloud service providers, as well as the routine changing and reconfiguration of the disparate computing platforms, services, assets, supported technical components, and other features offered by the service providers. An analysis architecture determines how to map a particular technical component into the execution environment of any particular service provider, including translation through a reference type.

  • Patent number: 10007676
    Abstract: A system acquires geocoded data, smoothes the geocoded data, and displays the smoothed geocoded data in a graphical visualization representative of the physical locations of the acquired geocoded data. The system obtains an indication of operational parameters for smoothing geocoded data, such as a data precision level, viewing window, data characteristics, and smoothing parameters. The system generates an area map that includes entries for each location in the viewing window (or other predetermined area) according to the data precision level. The system may populate any entries without associated data values with a zero value. To process the geocoded data, the system may determine a vector of interest from the area map and generate, for example, a single smoothing matrix that smoothes each of the values in the vector of interest. The system applies the smoothing matrix to the vector of interest.
