  • Patent number: 11726973
    Abstract: A minimal distinguishing prefix (MDP) is computed for terms included in a list of terms. The MDP for a term is the minimal prefix that differentiates the term from the immediately preceding term. Lengths of the computed MDPs are compared, and a set of MDPs is selected for inclusion in a trie. A trie generator generates a trie including a plurality of leaf nodes based on the selected MDPs, where each leaf node in the trie corresponds to a respective one of the selected MDPs, such that the terms accessible through a particular leaf node include the term corresponding to the respective one of the selected MDPs and any other terms positioned in the list between that term and a term corresponding to a next one of the selected MDPs in the trie.

  • Patent number: 11720605
    Abstract: A visual-based classification model influenced by text features as a result of the outputs of a text-based classification model is disclosed. A system receives one or more documents to be classified based on one or more visual features and provides the one or more documents to a student classification model, which is a visual-based classification model. The system also classifies, by the student classification model, the one or more documents into one or more document types based on one or more visual features. The one or more visual features are generated by the student classification model that is trained based on important text identified by a teacher classification model for the one or more document types, with the teacher classification model being a text-based classification model. Generating training data and training the student classification model based on the training data are also described.

  • Patent number: 11720618
    Abstract: In an auto-classification system, example documents whose content exemplifies a content category or classification can be imported into a classification model. The classification model is tested to assess accuracy. Based on the testing, metrics or other information can be provided as feedback to a user. The user can iteratively refine the classification model and keep re-running the classifications to view how each change to the classification model improves accuracy. If no user refinement is desired, the auto-classification system classifies documents utilizing the classification model. This technology enhances the overall transparency and defensibility of the auto-classification process.

  • Patent number: 11720578
    Abstract: A management server obtains first data indicating an input value in a measurement test regarding a user's sense of taste, obtains rating information indicating the user's rating of a dish or a restaurant, generates an evaluation value of the user's sense of taste based on the first data. One search filter for filtering dishes or restaurants by using rating results of dishes or restaurants rated by sense-of-taste top scorers is provided on a dish search screen. When the evaluation value of the user's sense of taste satisfies a certain condition for the sense-of-taste top scorers, the rating information indicating the user's rating of the dish or the restaurant is included in the rating results of the dishes or restaurants rated by the sense-of-taste top scorers.

  • Patent number: 11709827
    Abstract: An analysis system connects to a set of data sources and perform natural language questions based on the data sources. The analysis system connects with the data sources and retrieves metadata describing data assets stored in each data source. The analysis system generates an execution plan for the natural language question. The analysis system finds data assets that match the received question based on the metadata. The analysis system ranks the data assets and presents the ranked data assets to users for allowing users to modify the execution plan. The analysis system may use execution plans of previously stored questions for executing new questions. The analysis system supports selective preprocessing of data to increase the data quality.

  • Patent number: 11675750
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an input document is received at a tagging platform, via a communication device, and associates it with a tag request. The tagging platform automatically selects at least one electronic record associated with a first user from a user data store containing electronic records associated with users (each record including at least a user identifier and a user communication address). The input document and tag request are transmitted to the communication address associated with the first user, and a document tag is received from the first user. The tagging platform may then store the document tag in a document mining result database by adding an entry to the database identifying the received document tag and transmit an indication associated with the document mining result database to a plurality of risk applications.

  • Patent number: 11663274
    Abstract: A system for ranking electronic documents based on reference frequency includes a central controller in electronic communication with a document database. The central controller maintains a graphical model of the electronic documents that identifies all references between documents. A weight is automatically calculated and assigned to each reference within the graphical model in order to increase the significance of document references which are based on subject matter relevance and decrease the significance of document references which are based on interpersonal relationships or other meritless factors. Using the weighted graphical model, the central controller is able to automatically identify document clusters having similar subject matter, create a probability matrix for each cluster based on the weighted graphical model, and apply a power iteration to each probability matrix to yield a reference-based ranking of the electronic documents within each cluster.

  • Patent number: 11636164
    Abstract: Various methods and systems for processing web crawling queries using a web crawling prioritization model based on classification operation performance. A classification operation for organizing products in a product listing platform is accessed. A web crawling engine is accessed for the classification operation. The web crawling engine operates based on a web crawling query prioritization model that supports determining web crawling priority scores that indicate a predicted performance improvement for classification operations executed with known data and web crawled data to be retrieved from executing a web crawling query operation. Using the web crawling prioritization model, a web crawling priority score is determined for a web crawling query for the corresponding classification operation. The classification operation is associated with a product in a product listing platform and known data for the product.

  • Patent number: 11586652
    Abstract: A data structure is used to configure and transform a computer machine learning system. The data structure has one or more records where each record is a (vector) representation of a selected object in a corpus. One or more non-zero parameters in the records define the selected object and the number of the non-zero parameters define a word length of the record. One or more zero-value parameters are in one or more of the records. The word length of the object representation varies, e.g. can increase, as necessary to accurately represent the object within one or more contexts provided during training of a neural network used to create the database, e.g. as more and more contexts are introduced during the training. A minimum number of non-zero parameters are needed and zero-value parameters can be clustered together and compressed to save large amounts of system storage and shorten execution times.
