Abstract: User input expressed as text may be analyzed for determining a type of response, such as an application response, and/or determining a type of task that is requested by the user input. Entity representations may be identified, classified and/or or tagged based on a type of response, type of task and/or a set of entity types. A surface form of an entity, ambiguous entity representation and/or other type of expression within the user input may be resolved, normalized and/or mapped to a normalized value. Normalizing entities and/or entity attributes may involve using a set of normalization rules, a lookup table, one or more machined learned methods, and/or an entity normalization index that associates entities with alternate surface forms derived from web corpora. The normalized value may be used to construct a request to a structured knowledge source and/or an application.

Abstract: A computerized, bandwidth-reduced method of reconciling two ordered sets of values such that a series of changes made to the one are reflected in the other, the method involves maintaining, a positions list, tracking each positional change made to an ordered set and replicating each positional change in the positions list. When a reconciliation is required for a corresponding ordered set in a second location, the method involves creating a concise representation of the changes using the positions list and content of the ordered set by generating a REMOVE SERIES, a SWAP SERIES, an INSERT SERIES, and a CHANGE SERIES, transferring the concise representation from the first location to the second location via a communication path, and sequentially applying the REMOVE SERIES, SWAP SERIES, INSERT SERIES and CHANGE SERIES of the concise representation to the ordered set at the second location.

Abstract: A planning device and method of data storage are disclosed. The planning device includes a format-processing sub-logic and a space-allocation sub-logic. The format-processing sub-logic is for creating a formatting information area, for creating an index area for storing index data, and for creating a data area on a designated physical storage disk, and wherein the formatting information defines the index area and the data area. The space-allocation sub-logic is for allocating at least one data block to an upper-layer application in accordance with a size of a document needed to be stored. By adopting the formatting process, users may create the index area and data area on different physical storage disks so as to separate the index area and the data area. In this way, the users may store the information regarding the index area on different storage disks.

Abstract: A method is used in deduplicating sets of data blocks. A candidate data object is identified for deduplicating a data object.
