  • Patent number: 11741293
    Abstract: A template built by a user may be converted by a Server Script Generation Engine (SSGE) into script code. In converting, the SSGE may load and parse a framework file containing static script syntax to locate insertion points, each associated with an iteration number, and may iteratively parse the template, utilizing the iteration number to resolve, in order, tags and sub-tags contained in the template. If a tag is set to respond to the iteration number, a function of the tag is invoked to process any related sub-tags and return a script associated therewith at the appropriate insertion point. The framework file (with the appropriate script code inserted) is compiled and stored in a compiled script object which can be run multiple times to perform all of the output functions expected by the user in lieu of the need to reconvert the template.

  • Patent number: 11726840
    Abstract: Disclosed is a flexible and scalable artificial intelligence and analytics platform with advanced content analytics and content ingestion. Disparate contents can be ingested into a content analytics system of the platform through a content ingestion pipeline operated by a sophisticated text mining engine. Prior to persistence, editorial metadata can be extracted and semantic metadata inferred to gain insights across the disparate contents. The editorial metadata and the semantic metadata can be dynamically mapped, as the disparate contents are crawled from disparate sources, to an internal ingestion pipeline document conforming to a uniform mapping schema that specifies master metadata of interest. For persistence, the semantic metadata in the internal ingestion pipeline document can be mapped to metadata tables conforming to a single common data model of a central repository.

  • Patent number: 11720758
    Abstract: A summarizer can be invoked by a user to summarize content. Once started, the summarizer can examine the content, determine a main body of the content, extract texts from the main body, concatenate the texts into a text block, and make a call to an artificial intelligence (AI) platform. The call can contain the text block and specify a user-configurable summarization range for summarizing the text block. The AI platform is operable to generate a sentiment of the text block and a summary of the text block in the summarization range and return them to the summarizer. The summarizer, in turn, can instruct an application on the user device to generate a window or page for displaying the sentiment and the summary in the summarization range on the user device, in real time and in context of the content that the user is viewing, reading, or listening.

  • Patent number: 11710334
    Abstract: A bipartite application implements a table auto-completion (TAC) algorithm on the client side and the server side. A client module runs a local model of the TAC algorithm on a user device and a server module runs a global model of the TAC algorithm on a server machine. The local model is continuously adapted through on-the-fly training, with as few as a negative example, to perform TAC on the client side, one document at a time. Knowledge thus learned by the local model is used to improve the global model on the server side. The global model can be utilized to automatically and intelligently extract table information from a large number of documents with significantly improved accuracy, requiring minimal human intervention even on complex tables.

  • Patent number: 11704287
    Abstract: An interface server (e.g., Web Application Open Platform Interface (WOPI) server) is communicatively connected to an information management (IM) server and to an online application server which acts as a client of the interface server. When a user wishes to open, create, or edit a document in an online application hosted by the online application server, the interface server is called, instead of the IM server which manages the document at the backend of an enterprise computing network. The interface server is configured for obtaining a working copy of the document from the IM server and providing the working copy to the client. The client provides the working copy to the online application for display on the user device. When the work is done, the working copy is sync'd back through the interface server to the IM server as a new draft and deleted by the interface server.

  • Patent number: 11699020
    Abstract: A document architecture system includes an intelligent document processing engine that can receive raw data streamed from external data source(s), analyze the raw data to identify triggering events, apply rules to the triggering events identified, break down the raw data accordingly, and generating messages in an internal format to represent the pieces of data without any formatting or layout information. The messages can be augmented with custom metadata and stored as fragments that reference, but that do not physically incorporate, the messages. The stored fragments can be used by the document process engine to intelligently render documents and versions thereof. Some embodiments store only unique fragments, resulting in a significant reduction in storage requirements and an extremely efficient way of processing huge amounts of data (e.g., millions of documents) for document production. The messages and fragments are in internal formats under control of the document architecture system.

  • Patent number: 11699277
    Abstract: A segmentation neural network is extended to provide classification at the segment level. An input image of a document is received and processed, utilizing a segmentation neural network, to detect pixels having a signature feature type. A signature heatmap of the input image can be generated based on the pixels in the input image having the signature feature type. The segmentation neural network is extended from here to further process the signature heatmap by morphing it to include noise surrounding an object of interest. This creates a signature region that can have no defined shape or size. The morphed heatmap acts as a mask so that each signature region or object in the input image can be detected as a segment. Based on this segment-level detection, the input image is classified. The classification result can be provided as feedback to a machine learning framework to refine training.

  • Patent number: 11698920
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer-readable media enable various techniques related to semantic navigation. One aspect is a technique for displaying semantically derived facets in the search engine interface. Each of the facets comprises faceted search results. Each of the faceted search results is displayed in association with user interface elements for including or excluding the faceted search result as additional search terms to subsequently refine the search query. Another aspect automatically infers new metadata from the content and from existing metadata and then automatically annotates the content with the new metadata to improve recall and navigation. Another aspect identifies semantic annotations by determining semantic connections between the semantic annotations and then dynamically generating a topic page based on the semantic connections.
