  • Patent number: 11544295
    Abstract: To effectively utilize knowledge of relationship information among material property parameters the users tangibly and intangibly have in a search system that generates a graph in which material property parameters are nodes and relationships of the material property parameters are edges from a database of material property parameter pairs whose relationships are already known, and conducts a path search in the generated graph. A search system, which includes the database, a graph generator that generates the graph, and a graph searcher searches the graph, further includes a user interface and a user information storage unit corresponding to each user. The user conducts a search unique to the user by inputting relationship information between the material property parameters that he has to the user information storage unit and integrating the relationship information into the above graph.

  • Patent number: 11537276
    Abstract: The method receives a visual specification, which specifies a data source, visual variables, and data fields from the data source. Each visual variable is associated with data fields and each data field is a dimension or a measure. The method forms dimension tuples comprising distinct ordered combinations of data values for the dimensions D. For each measure, the method: forms a set S of the dimensions D plus dimensions from a primary key corresponding to the measure; retrieves intermediate tuples containing the fields in S and the measure, without aggregation; and aggregates the intermediate tuples according to the dimensions D. For each dimension tuple, the method forms an extended tuple by appending the aggregated data values corresponding to each measure field. The method then builds and displays a data visualization according to the extended tuples and the visual variables to which the data fields are associated.

  • Patent number: 11507608
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for improving search engine ranking of a landing page using automated analysis of landing pages of third-party entities. Certain embodiments include receiving, at a user interface, a primary keyword associated with a targeted landing page of a primary entity; transmitting the primary keyword to a search engine; and receiving a search engine results page from the search engine. The search engine results page may be used to identify landing pages of third-party entities having a higher rank than the targeted landing page. Secondary keywords occurring on the third-party landing pages may be identified and analyzed to determine whether inclusion of the secondary keyword in the targeted landing page will increase ranking of the targeted landing page in the search engine.

  • Patent number: 11481377
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to determining an effective tag for data assets. For instance, each tag associated with a data asset may be associated with certain attributes. Non-limiting examples for such attributes may include a confidence level associated with a source that applied the tag, an applied date at which the tag was applied to the data asset, and/or a hierarchical depth of the data asset to which the tag was applied, as well as additional and/or alternative types of attributes. When a request to determine a tag for a data asset is received, the attributes for all the tags applied to the data asset may be retrieved and/or analyzed to determine which of such tags effectively classifies the data asset. The determined effective tag may be returned to the requesting entity.

  • Patent number: 11442914
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for efficient and effective computation of LSH hashing functions for use in various environments, including nearest-neighbor search. A corpus of items is maintained, with each item of the corpus being associated with information identifying one of a plurality of LSH partitions to which the item has been mapped or hashed. In response to an input item, the input item is projected one or more times into an orthoplex inscribed within a multi-dimensional space. For each mapping, a determination is made as to the nearest vertex of the orthoplex to the projected input item, and the LSH partitions associated with the nearest vertex are aggregated and associated with the input item as the input item's LSH partition.

  • Patent number: 11321666
    Abstract: A social networking system determines the meaning of an anchor term used in a communication received from a communicating user. Candidate nodes are identified in the dictionary based on the anchor term, where each candidate node represents a possible meaning of the anchor term. The context of the anchor term is determined, and a score is determined for each candidate node based on the determined context. A candidate node is selected that most likely represents the meaning of the anchor term based on the determined candidate node scores. The context of the anchor term may be a social context derived from users connected to the communicating user that use the anchor term in communications. A communicating user may be prompted to identify the meaning of the anchor term explicitly based on the use of the term in communications from other users connected to the communicating user.
