  • Patent number: 11409777
    Abstract: A user interface of an entity-centric knowledge discovery system presents an entity profile including a mix of structured and unstructured data relating to an entity. As a user refines the entity profile based on information gathered from various sources, the changing entity profile can be used as a substantially continuously updating query to search, retrieve, and rank new and pertinent information specifically relevant to the profiled entity. The platform described herein provide an active loop for refining an entity description and searching for additional information in which human input and machine-based algorithms can cooperate to more quickly build a comprehensive description of an entity of interest.

  • Patent number: 11386227
    Abstract: A permutation algorithm using modular arithmetic is applied to the cells of one or more specific fields of a database or other file type. This permutation reorders the cells of the specific field(s) without altering content of any individual cell, thereby hiding relationships between cells of the permuted field(s) and the other information in the associated records. The permutation algorithm may use modular addition and modular subtraction, in either order. Different permutation algorithms may use varying numbers of parameters. To locate a specific cell in a permuted field, the parameter(s) from the permutation, an identification of the specific record associated with the cell, and an identification of the specific permuted field are applied in a modular arithmetic operation. A specific record with which a specific cell in a permuted field is associated may be obtained by an inverse modular arithmetic operation.

  • Patent number: 11379517
    Abstract: A photography searching system that is used to organize, share, and/or output event photography for event participants. Best used for races or large events, the system helps to organize photographs using associated available data such as date, time, or location of where the photograph was taken, the name of an event participant, a number corresponding to a number worn by the event participant (bib number or participant number), a color corresponding to a clothing color worn by the event participant, as well as the net time it takes participants to complete a event, etc., also known as data search terms. A photographer will upload these photographs to the system, they will be sorted and categorized in the database, and as in most events, each event participant will have multiple photographs taken of them. This system presents an interface on which a user inputs at least one query parameter and relevant photos are then presented to them.

  • Patent number: 11372937
    Abstract: Embodiments disclose a system that allows for improved generation of web requests for scraping that, because of the nature of the requests and time and manner they are sent out, appear more organic, as in human generated, than conventional automated scraping systems. The system then manages how a client request to scrape a target website is made to the site, masking the request in a manner that makes it appear to the Web server as if the request is not generated by an automated system. In this way, by appearing more organic, Web servers may be less likely to block requests from the disclosed system or may take longer to block requests from the disclosed system. By avoiding Web servers blocking requests and extending the lifetime of IP proxies before they are blocked, embodiments can use a limited IP proxy address space more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 11275726
    Abstract: A system and method for distributed exchange and transformation of structured data with reproducibility and complete provenance are described. Data enters the system through the plurality of data publishers that share data in the form of append-only historical logs of events. Plurality of parties can then collaborate on improving and enriching data by defining the transformation rules, forming a potentially distributed computational graph. Data from any stage of such graph can be accessed by plurality of consumers. Stream processing techniques are used to minimize the propagation latency of data through the graph. Bitemporal data modelling and determinism of transformations enable reproducibility and verifiability of the results. Every event that influences how data looks like is tracked in the temporal metadata which enables provenance and dataset evolution.

  • Patent number: 11263243
    Abstract: Digital records are clustered and assigned unique individual identity across a plurality of data sources. Each record contains one or more tagged common properties, which belongs to an underlying identifiable entity. A special parameterized metric distance is calculated for all pairs of records. With adjustment of the metric parameters, the records are clustered based on a predetermined distance threshold. Based on the clustered records, the underlying identity associated with the records can be resolved.
