Patent number: 11645317Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a content management system that automatically determines and generates topic clusters from a collection of electronic text documents. For example, the content management system analyzes a collection of electronic text documents to identify key terms and terms related to the key terms. Based on the key terms and related terms, the content management system generates a topic cluster that includes the key term and related terms. The content management system then organizes the electronic text documents based on terms within a given text document matching terms within a given topic cluster. Further, the content management system presents the topic clusters and organized electronic text documents to a user.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Qualtrics, LLCInventors: Bradley Tolman, Robert David Norton, Martin D.

Patent number: 11301877Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to administration of an electronic survey to collect perception ratings for an event. For example, an electronic survey system provides a perception survey question to a respondent client device for an event (e.g., a digital media event or a live user experience). As a user associated with the respondent client device experiences the event, the user indicates a perception rating over time for the event by interacting with a graphical input element corresponding to the perception survey question. The survey system collects perception data points indicating the perception rating of the user and associates information about the user with the perception data points. The survey system can generate response data for the perception survey question based on the perception data points. The survey system can also generate a perception data report using the user profile information.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Qualtrics, LLCInventors: Larry Dean Cheesman, Milind Kopikare
