  • Patent number: 9165061
    Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for identifying information about a particular entity including acquiring electronic documents having unstructured text, that are selected based on one or more search terms from a plurality of terms related to the particular entity. Tokenizing the acquired documents to form a data matrix and then calculating a plurality of eigenvectors, using the data matrix and the transpose of the data matrix. The variance is then acquired for determining the amount of intra-clustering between the documents and then the acquired documents are clustered using some of the eigenvectors and the variance.

  • Patent number: 8806433
    Abstract: Presented are systems and methods of operation for a framework system. The framework system acquires software code and modularizes the software code to create an associated modular code, wherein the modular code is composed of a plurality of synchronous and asynchronous modular elements. The framework system modifies the modular code using a modular element, and automatically modifies the software code based on the modified modular code.

  • Patent number: 8650189
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a visibility module configured to derive a hit visibility score for one or more hits from an information source, wherein the one or more hits are directed to a target entity, and wherein the hit visibility score indicates a likelihood that a corresponding hit is found by a searcher after the searcher searches for the target entity in the information source; a sentiment module configured to derive a hit sentiment score for at least one of the one or more hits, wherein the hit sentiment score indicates a sentiment about the target entity conveyed by the at least one of the one or more hits; and a reputation module configured to derive a reputation for the target entity based on the hit visibility score and the hit sentiment score.

  • Patent number: 8453218
    Abstract: A system and methods for facilitating secure communications on a website are presented. The system comprising a security server configured to receive a secure message from a creator device is disclosed. The security server encodes the received message and sends the encoded message or a representation of the encoded message for posting on the website so that one or more users of the website have the ability to request that the security server make the message available after the encoded message has been decoded.
