Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting a relevancy score of a keyword cluster—time period—event category combination is provided. Processors can identify an event category associated with relevancy scores. Processors can identify, from a content serving opportunity log, content serving opportunities associated with the event category in which content served in the content serving opportunity is selected based on a keyword cluster associated with the event category. Processors can determine, for each of the identified content serving opportunities, an event for which content was served in the content serving opportunity. Processors can then adjust a relevancy score of the keyword cluster—time period—event category combination based on the performance of the content of the subset of content serving opportunities.

Abstract: To prevent conflicts of interest, an information management system is used to make sure two or more groups are kept apart so that information does not circulate freely between these groups. The system has policies to implement an “ethical wall” to separate users or groups of users. The user or groups of user may be organized in any arbitrary way, and may be in the same organization or different organizations. The two groups (or two or more users) will not be able to access information belonging to the other, and users in one group may not be able to pass information to the other group. The system may manage access to documents, e-mail, files, and other forms of information.

Abstract: An entries array having a pre-selected number of initially empty buckets and structured as a circular array is maintained. Each of the pre-selected number of entries in the entries array has a corresponding index value. A chaining array having the pre-selected number of buckets and structured as a circular array is also maintained. Each of the pre-selected number of entries in the chaining array has the same corresponding index value as the corresponding bucket in the entries array. A hash operation is performed on data to be stored to determine a hash value corresponding to the data. The data is stored in a bucket in the entries array corresponding to the hash value as an unmovable head-of-chain entry, and moving previous data, if any, stored in the entries array corresponding to the hash value if the previous data has a different hash value. The data is stored in another bucket in the entries array if the bucket in the entries array corresponding to the hash value is occupied by a head-of-chain entry.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for filtering audience viewing of uniform resource locator (URL) data utilizing hashtags including: identifying a hashtag input by a first user; identifying at least one user preference of the first user, the at least one user preference related to data sharing preferences of the first user on an electronic platform; generating a uniform resource locator (URL) based on the identified hashtag and the identified at least one user preference of the first user; and using the URL, filtering data communication on the electronic platform, thereby displaying a privatized stream of data when the first user accesses the identified hashtag, the privatized stream of data accessible by a second user, the second user being authorized to view the privatized stream of data based on the data sharing preferences of the first user.

Abstract: Searching stored content is disclosed. A first mapping is created from an object to one or more stored relational database tables. A second mapping is created from the object to an indexer schema. One or both of the following is done: 1) using the first mapping to translate a search request expressed in an abstract query language to a first query language associated with the relational database; and 2) using the second mapping to translate the search request to a second query language associated with the indexer schema.

Abstract: The invention provided is a system configured to use a topic-related generative model to build a document map from a plurality of documents in a storage medium and generate a control set from the plurality of documents including at least two stratified document sets. The system then receives a set of control set metrics regarding the control set from a user. The system selects a machine call responsive document from a document map based on a determined predictive responsiveness for that document. The system receives a responsiveness call from a user through the task/queue framework regarding a machine call document. Finally, the system compares the responsiveness of the machine call document to the control set metrics and rebuilds the document map based on the results of the comparison between the machine call document responsiveness and the control set metrics.

Abstract: Automatic isolation of screenshots from other captured content items stored in an electronic content repository is provided. When a screen capture is performed on an electronic device, such as a smartphone, screen resolution information for the capturing device is stored with the captured content item (e.g., screenshot). When a user subsequently desires to recall a given stored captured screenshot, the resolution associated with each stored content item may be used for isolating screenshots from other stored content items like photographs, text items, clip art, and the like by comparing the resolutions of any of the stored content items with a screen resolution of the user's device or with known screen resolutions of various devices that may be used for capturing screen images.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for propagating source identification information from an application front-end system in an application layer to a data layer inspection system associated with a back-end system. An incoming user request is received, at the data layer inspection system, from a gateway system associated with the application front-end system. One or more outgoing statements targeting a back-end system are received at the data layer inspection system. The data layer inspection system accesses a mapping data structure based on the one or more outgoing statements to thereby correlate the one or more outgoing statements with the incoming user request. The data layer inspection system retrieves source identification information associated with the incoming user request based on the correlation of the one or more outgoing statements with the incoming user request. The data layer inspection system performs a data layer inspection operation based on the source identification information.

Abstract: An information retrieval system uses phrases to index, retrieve, organize and describe documents. Phrases are extracted from the document collection. Documents are the indexed according to their included phrases, using phrase posting lists. The phrase posting lists are stored in an cluster of index servers. The phrase posting lists can be tiered into groups, and sharded into partitions. Phrases in a query are identified based on possible phrasifications. A query schedule based on the phrases is created from the phrases, and then optimized to reduce query processing and communication costs. The execution of the query schedule is managed to further reduce or eliminate query processing operations at various ones of the index servers.

Abstract: Computerized systems for automating content annotation (e.g., tag creation and/or expansion) for low-content items within a computer network by leveraging intelligence of other data sources within a network to generate secondary content (e.g., a “context”) for items (e.g., documents) for use in a tagging process. For example, based on user assigned tags for an item, secondary content information can be generated and used to determine a new list of candidate tags for the item. Additionally, the context of an input item may be compared against the respective contexts of a plurality of other items to determine respective levels of similarity between the input item and each of the plurality of other items in order to annotate the input item. Techniques involving web-distance based clustering and leveraging crowd-sourced information sources to remove noisy data from annotated results are also described.

Abstract: Technology disclosed herein includes a method for system restoration between computing devices by a tapping mechanism. A first device detects (e.g., via NFC) a second device in proximity. The first device transmits a user credential of the first device to the second device. Either directly or via a cloud storage service, the first device instructs the second device to download a copy of system data of the first device from the cloud storage service, instead of from the first device. The second device is able to restore a system state of the first device on the second device, using the user credential and the system data.
