  • Patent number: 8166064
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer method and system for identifying significance of patterns across a plurality of data patterns, which involves identifying pattern types of the plurality of data patterns, determining a relative pattern significance factor to compare the pattern types. Determining the relative pattern significance factor further involves calculating a percentage change of an identified outlier from a median for a outlier pattern, calculating a value of a step change as a percentage of a last value of a step preceding the step change for a step change pattern and calculating a percentage change from a start value on the fitted curve to an end value on the fitted curve for a trend pattern. A ranked list of the pattern types are returned based on their corresponding relative pattern significant factors.

  • Publication number: 20120005242
    Abstract: Described herein is a technology for visualizing data. In accordance with some implementations, dimension metadata is automatically extracted from multiple documents. The extracted dimension metadata may be used to populate one or more relation dimensions. Based on the dimension metadata, one or more relations between the documents are determined along the one or more relation dimensions. A relation graph is presented to represent the documents interconnected by the one or more relations.

  • Publication number: 20110320481
    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.

  • Patent number: 7984139
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions for facilitating automatic server optimization in a system. The executable instructions include instructions to accept a set of initialization parameters, analyze a set of one or more configuration sources, determine a set of configuration settings, receive a series of load levels, and select a load level. The set of configuration settings are tested against the load level. An optimal configuration setting for the load level is identified. The optimal configuration setting is recorded.
