  • Patent number: 11768889
    Abstract: A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) discovery system is implemented that evaluates web configuration servers obtained from web servers to determine the existence and configuration of URIs hosted by the web servers. To discover URIs, the URI discovery system may obtain web server configuration files, and other metadata, from collection agents executing on web servers. The web server configuration files may then be parsed to evaluate the combinations of hosts, paths, and ports for the web server that may correspond to respective URIs. A URI discovery result may then be generated that describes the discovered URIs and includes configurations of the different URIs. The URI discovery result may be stored in an entry for the web server.

  • Patent number: 11762929
    Abstract: A server identifies, by parsing through code of an online page, information related to offerings associated with the online page. The server identifies a set of intents based on the information. At least a portion of the set of intents corresponds to headers or menu items of the online page. The server updates the set of intents based on supplemental information accessible by a hyperlink from the online page. The server transmits the updated set of intents to a first user device. The server receives an acceptance of a subset of the updated set of intents from the first user device. The server stores, in an intent data repository, the accepted subset of the updated set of intents. The intent data repository stores intents to which queries are to be matched. The queries are received during a contact center engagement between an end-user and a computer-implemented agent.

  • Patent number: 11755670
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface sends and receives data over a network. The processor uses the interface to transmit a first media file to a device of a user. The first media file presents a first choice between at least two options. The processor uses the interface to receive from the user a first selection in response to the first choice. In response to receiving the first selection, the processor transmits a second media file to the device. The second media file presents a second choice between at least two options. The processor uses the interface to receive from the user a second selection in response to the second choice. The processor identifies, based in part on the first selection and the second selection, a second user as potentially compatible with the user and transmits to the user a profile of the second user.

  • Patent number: 11748410
    Abstract: Embodiments as disclosed herein provide a search system with an pre-indexing filter that provides both a sophisticated and contextually tailored approach to filtering documents and a corrector that is adapted to alter a document that has been designated to be filtered out from the indexing process and determine if the altered document should be indexed. The alteration of the document may be tied to the attributes, rules or thresholds used to initially filter the document from the indexing process. The filtering criteria can thus be tailored to a specific context such that both the initial filtering and the alteration process may be better suited for application in that context.

  • Patent number: 11734255
    Abstract: The present system and method is directed to a process to facilitate trusted sources of information in an enterprise. The present system and method positions data governance to move away from the element level and focus on the data asset (i.e. repository, interface, subject) level. When data persons are having any issue with their data asset, whether it is a conflicting data asset, interface issues, competing data asset, new data asset build, data subject issue, or the like, a certifier may operate to assess the asset based on our well defined metrics, determine the health through the data asset scoring process, recommend asset services, and provide those services to the data owner who is ultimately responsible for implementing them to improve the data and the data processes.

  • Patent number: 11709848
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for performing soft entity resolution. A plurality of data objects are retrieved from a plurality of data stores to create aggregated data objects for one or more entities. One or more retrieved data objects may be associated with the same entity, based at least in part upon one or more attribute types and attribute values of the data objects. In response to a determination that the one or more of the retrieved data objects should be associated with the same entity, metadata is generated that associates the data objects with the entity, the metadata being stored separately from the data objects, such that the underlying data objects remain unchanged. In addition, one or more additional attributes may be determined for the entity, based upon the data objects associated with the entity.
