Abstract: Conventionally, text summarization has been rule-based method and neural network based which required large dataset for training and the summary delivered had to be assessed by user in terms of relevancy. System and method are provided by present disclosure that generate causal insight summaries wherein event of importance is detected, and it is determined why event is relevant to a user. Text description is processed for named entities recognition, polarities of sentences identified, extraction of causal effects sentences (CES) and causal relationship identification in text segments which correspond to impacting events. Named entities are then role labeled. A score is computed for named entities, polarities of sentences, causal effects sentences, causal relationships, and the impacting events. A causal insight summary is generated with overall polarity being computed/determined.

Abstract: The technology involves sampling space-saving set sketches, which relates to tracking and evaluating information associated with large data sets. This can include a number of distributed data streams or other data sets that may come from different sources such as Internet traffic. The sets each have corresponding labels and distinct items. One approach includes performing a query for each distributed data set to determine whether a given label associated with that distributed data set is in a corresponding sketch. When that label is in the corresponding sketch, the distinct item associated with that label is inserted into the corresponding sketch. When the label is not in the corresponding sketch, then depending on whether a number of labels in the sketch is less than a specified size, the approach may add the label to a particular sketch and/or insert the distinct item into the particular sketch according to certain defined criteria.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for selecting at least one people highlight, with respect to a person of interest, to be shown on one or more user devices. The user device is monitored to determine a user interest in a person of interest. A set of possible people highlights, with respect to the person of interest is determined. A determination is made as to whether any of the possible people highlights should be suppressed and not presented to the user on the user device. Any people highlights that were determined to be people highlights that should be suppressed and not presented are removed to create a remaining set of possible people highlights. At least one of the remaining set of possible people highlights are presented on the user device.

The processing portion performs retrieval of first to m-th sentences on a reference document. The i-th sentence (i is an integer of greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to m) includes one of the two nodes in the i-th retrieval local graph or a related term or a hyponym of the one of the two nodes; the other of the two nodes in the i-th retrieval local graph or a related term or a hyponym of the other of the two nodes; and the edge in the i-th retrieval local graph or a related term or a hyponym of the edge.

Abstract: A method for edge profiling within a data graph measures the impact that a particular type of edge has on a data graph. A list of all edges contained within a single connected component within the graph is generated in order to search for bridges across connected subcomponents. The process is implemented as two MapReduce jobs on separate compute clusters. The first job is the edge profile job, which is implemented as a Map-only job. The second job reads the output of the first, and builds multiple in-memory data structures representing each connected component within the data graph. After the graph is created, it is traversed to find bridges.

Abstract: A software platform includes a frontend and a backend application instance. A user can operate the frontend to modify a data object stored in a database of the backend application instance. The data object may be associated with a higher-order object, referred to as an entity of the software platform. One or more data consumers (e.g., search engine indexing services) may require as input a full computed state of platform-level objects such as entities. The software platform defers computation of entities until necessary by inserting work items into a work item queue that reference entities in need of full state computation. Worker nodes wait specified deferral periods before computing full entity states and transmitting the full computed states to the one or more data consumers, thereby significantly reducing redundant computation of full entity states.
