  • Patent number: 11907842
    Abstract: A system comprises a memory that stores computer-executable components; and a processor, operably coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components. The system includes a receiving component that receives a corpus of data; a relation extraction component that generates noisy knowledge graphs from the corpus; and a training component that acquires global representations of entities and relation by training from output of the relation extraction component.

  • Patent number: 10601678
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory comprising executable instructions and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions. Executing the instructions causes the processor to receive a broadcast including measurement data captured by a first sensor, verify integrity of the measurement data, perform a quality control analysis on the measurement data by analyzing the measurement data using a quality control algorithm to form an analysis result, generate a response for broadcasting the analysis result, and broadcast the analysis result. The response comprises a determination of pass when the quality control analysis indicates that the measurement data passes the quality control analysis and a determination of fail, a suspected cause of the failure, and a recommended resolution for the suspected cause of the failure when the quality control analysis indicates that the measurement data fails the quality control analysis.

  • Patent number: 10162882
    Abstract: According to an aspect, automatically linking text to concepts in a knowledge base using differential analysis includes receiving a text string and selecting, based on contents of the text string, a plurality of data sources that correspond to concepts in the knowledge base. In a further aspect, automatically linking the text to the concepts includes calculating, for each of the selected data sources, a probability that the text string is output by a language model built using the selected data source, calculating a probability that the text string is output by a generic language model, calculating link confidence scores for each concept based on a differential analysis of the probabilities, and creating a link from the text string to one of the concepts in the knowledge base. The creating is based on a link confidence score of the concept being more than a threshold value away from a prescribed threshold.

  • Patent number: 9965580
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for ranking combinations of mutants, test cases and random seeds in mutation testing, comprising obtaining, based on a signal of a test case target, logic gates related to the signal of the test case target and mutants on the related logic gates, for a compiled integrated circuit under test; calculating distances between the mutants and the signal of the test case target; performing a circuit simulation on the compiled integrated circuit under test to obtain activation cycle numbers corresponding to combinations of the mutants, test cases and random seeds; obtaining activation cycle number variances corresponding to combinations of the mutants and the test cases; and ranking the combinations of the mutants, the test cases and the random seeds based on the distances, the activation cycle numbers and the activation cycle number variances. The invention can reduce the probability that the mutation simulation selects equivalent mutants.

  • Patent number: 9626236
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for administering messages. In response to a determination that one or more consuming applications have failed to process the same message on a queue a predetermined number of times, the message is made unavailable to consuming applications. Responsive to determining that a predetermined number of messages have been made unavailable to consuming applications, one or more consuming applications are prevented from consuming messages from the queue.

  • Publication number: 20160110897
    Abstract: Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for displaying computer dashboard information are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, historical values associated with time intervals are displayed in a single gauge. The historical values are arranged in such a manner that at least one of the historical values is contrasted against a current value for comparison as a single metric. Additional system and computer program product embodiments are disclosed and provide related advantages.

  • Publication number: 20140310395
    Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for identifying a usage pattern for web content having a plurality of components and receiving a web response from a server, wherein the web response includes the web content. Additionally, a client-side override of the load order of the plurality of components may be conducted based on the usage pattern. In one example, a cookie is generated based on the usage pattern, wherein the cookie is used to conduct the client-side override.

  • Publication number: 20130024203
    Abstract: A schedule and recommendations associated with one or more points of interest can be identified. The points of interest can be associated with a geographical region. Telemetry associated with a one or more computing devices can be received. The computing devices (e.g., mobile phone with sensors) can be associated with one or more points of interest. Telemetry data can be evaluated against a recommendation criteria and the user preference. A schedule and recommendations can be determined based on the evaluating telemetry information, historic data, criteria and preferences. The schedule and recommendation(s) enhance visits to points of interest.
