  • Patent number: 11397851
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for classifying text to determine a goal type used to select machine learning algorithm outcomes. Natural language processing of text is performed to determine features in the text and their relationships. A classifier classifies the text based on the relationships and features to determine a goal type. The determined features and relationships from the text are inputted into a plurality of different machine learning algorithms to generate outcomes. For each of the machine learning algorithms, a determination is made of performance measurements resulting from the machine learning algorithms generating the outcomes. A determination is made of at least one machine learning algorithm having performance measurements that are highly correlated to the determined goal type. An outcome is determined from at least one of the outcomes.

  • Patent number: 11360661
    Abstract: A handwriting input device, in response to a handwriting operation that moves an object on an input surface with the object contacting the input surface, inputs information corresponding to the path of the contact position of the object on the input surface. The handwriting input device includes a sensor part and a determining part. The sensor part detects the contact position of the object on the input surface and the presence or absence of the object within a predetermined operation space adjacent to the input surface. The determining part determines the start and the end of the handwriting operation based on the detection result of the sensor part. The determining part determines the continuance of the handwriting operation in response to detecting the presence of the object within the operation space by the sensor part after determining the start of the handwriting operation.

  • Patent number: 11361162
    Abstract: Each of a plurality of content matchers is executed upon a body of text in a document, identifying at least one match in the text and additionally assigning a match strength for each match. Where a conflict between a first match (have a first match strength associated therewith) and a second match (having a second match strength associated therewith) is noted, it is determined whether either of the first or the second match strength is greater than the other. If so, that match of the first and second matches corresponding to the lesser of the first and second match strengths is discarded. If the first or second match strengths are equal, then respective matcher ranks of the first matcher and the second matcher are compared such that the match of the first and second matches corresponding to the lesser of the first and second matcher ranks is discarded.

  • Patent number: 11361031
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a system, a computer program product, and a method for identification of linguistically related elements, and more specifically to prediction of a linguistically related element. A linguistic algorithm forms a cluster representation of corpus entries. A linguistic term is identified and applied to the cluster representation to identify proximally related linguistic terms. Associative relationships between the proximally related terms and category metadata are iteratively investigated. One or more linguistic terms related across the two more metadata categories is identified and designated as the linguistically related element.

  • Patent number: 11361025
    Abstract: Users of a database management engine may generate fillable digital documents by mapping interface elements onto form documents. When a user maps interface elements onto a form document, the user may accidentally overlap two or more interface elements. To rectify this, the database management engine may modify the position of one of interface elements based on a set of positioning rules. In addition, the database management engine may identify and suggest mappings to users based on similar documents that have been previously mapped. The database management engine identifies similar documents using information about the document, the user, and the mapping itself. The mapping associated with the most similar document may be provided to the user as a suggested mapping. The database management engine converts the form document and finalized mapping into a fillable digital document. The fillable digital document is sent to recipients, who complete the fillable digital document.

  • Patent number: 11347928
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include detecting and processing sections spanning processed document partitions by caching a document partition. The document partition includes metadata indicating that the document partition is a portion of a whole document. Aspects also include pairing a candidate paragraph from the document partition with a cached paragraph segment and determining, using a coherence model, a probability that the candidate paragraph and the cached paragraph segment constitute a semantically coherent paragraph. Aspects further include discarding the cached paragraph segment and processing the candidate paragraph and the cached paragraph segment separately based on a determination that the probability is less than a threshold level and processing the candidate paragraph and the cached paragraph segment together as a cross-partition paragraph based on a determination that the probability is greater than the threshold level.

  • Patent number: 11341321
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method to create a new User Interface to Database Data. A Spreadsheet is used as a UI, and the Data presented to the End User is into the Spreadsheet in a repeatable manner A Record serves as the basis of the Data to be presented and the Lists from the List Views are mapped into Managed Regions in the Spreadsheet as in the combination of the Form View and List View. This provides a new means to create Applications. An existing Spreadsheet can be used to create a new Application. The Spreadsheet mappings are created. These mappings are then used to create the Tables in the Database to store the required data and relationships. The End User UI is now complete, because the Spreadsheet is now the UI for the End User using the Mapping Engine to Process User Action.
