Patent number: 11281702Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an information retrieval technology and more particularly to a creation of a taxonomy to facilitate subsequent search and retrieval of information. In one embodiment, an information retrieval device is disclosed, that comprises a processor and a memory that stores instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to receive an input corpus. Thereafter, input document clusters are generated from top input n-grams associated with the input corpus. Further, top-ranked input n-grams are determined from the top input n-grams. Thereafter, an external corpus is identified based on the top-ranked input n-grams. An enriched corpus (external and input corpus), is clustered based on top enriched n-grams associated with the enriched corpus to generate enriched document clusters. Further, for each n-gram of the enriched corpus, corresponding n-gram clusters are determined.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Wipro LimitedInventors: Cyrus Andre Dsouza, Manu Kuchhal

Patent number: 11275768Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting differential support for frequent pattern (FP) analysis are described. Some database systems may analyze data sets to determine FPs of data attributes within the data sets. However, if data distributions for different types of data attributes vary greatly, more frequent data attribute types may skew the FPs away from the less frequent types. To reduce the noise of common attributes while maintaining sensitivity to the less common attributes, the database system may implement multiple minimum support (e.g., frequency) thresholds. For example, the database system may adaptively categorize the different data attribute types into data categories based on their distributions and may dynamically determine support thresholds for the categories. Using different minimum support thresholds for different data categories allows the system to filter out data attribute patterns based on the distributions of the data attribute types in the pattern.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Yacov Salomon, Kexin Xie, Wanderley Liu
