Abstract: Described herein is a technology for facilitating searching and matching of data. In some implementations, an input data string, including one or more ideographic elements, is received and converted to a Latin-based input data string. One or more input keys may be generated based on the Latin-based input data string. A reference database may be searched for one or more candidate records indexed by at least one of the one or more input keys. If the one or more candidate records are found, a match score is determined for the one or more candidate records.

Also included may be determination of a semantic interest of the first user for the first resource in a first context based on the similarity of the semantic projection of the set of the interests of the first user to the semantic projection of the first resource, and determination of an interest measure associated with the first user, the first resource and the first context based on a rating prediction for the first user to the first resource in the first context and on the determined semantic interest of the first user for the first resource in the first context.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for dynamic visualization of search results on a GUI are described herein. A search query received by a user is divided into a plurality of search parts. One or more search results for each of the plurality of search parts are retrieved. Further, a search result array is generated from the retrieved search results. Furthermore, Venn diagram graphical representation of the search results in the search result array is determined and the same is displayed on the GUI. The Venn diagram graphical representation defines display of search results in the Venn diagram and the relevancy ranking of the search results. In addition, the user can specify a weighting for each of the plurality of search parts, which dynamically determines display opacity of at least one of the associated search results and search part circles of the Venn diagram on the GUI.

Abstract: A pie chart comprising a pie having at least two slices and a selector head is displayed in a graphical user interface. The selector head is rotatable around a circular selection assist track having a center point corresponding to a center point of the pie. In addition, the graphical user interface can display information associated with/complementary to a first selected slice. Thereafter, user-generated input is received changing a position of the selector head from the first slice to a second slice. This movement of the selector head causes information associated with the second slice to be displayed in the graphical user interface. In some implementations, a highlight display unit and/or a legend can also be provided. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

The input data is a result page from a web search engine as well as an integer number for the results on the page. The output is a regular expression that matches all the results on the page, capturing each result and its individual fields.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology for facilitating searching and matching of data. In some implementations, an input data string, including one or more ideographic elements, is received and converted to a Latin-based input data string. One or more input keys may be generated based on the Latin-based input data string. A reference database may be searched for one or more candidate records indexed by at least one of the one or more input keys.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamic generation of contextual charts for reports based on personalized visualization preferences are described. In one embodiment, a system of an embodiment creates a chart for a report based on an analysis of past user preferences. In one embodiment, a system of the embodiment saves user behavior and preferences over time.

Abstract: Various embodiments of phonetic keys for the Japanese language are described herein. A Kana rule set is applied to Kana characters provided by a user. The Kana characters are defined in an alphabetic language based on the sound of the Kana characters. A full phonetic key is then generated based on the defined Kana characters. A replaced-vowel phonetic key is generated by replacing a vowel in the full phonetic key and a no-vowel phonetic key is generated by removing the vowel in the full phonetic key. Kana records in a database are then processed to determine a relevant Kana record that has a phonetic key identical to at least one of the full phonetic key, the replaced-vowel phonetic key, and the no-vowel phonetic key. The relevant Kana records are then presented to the user.

Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to convert an entity to a standard form including normalized attributes, a tag reference and a feature. The entity is expanded with corresponding variants. The standard form and corresponding variants are combined to form an annotated entity in a first processing step. The entity is assigned to a group in a second processing step that accesses the annotated entity. The entity is processed in a single pass comprising the first processing step and the second processing step.

Abstract: A system includes reception of metadata associated with one or more measures, determination of a compatibility of the two or more measures based on the metadata, and determination of a first score associated with a first visualization based on the compatibility.
