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 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 session table includes one or more records, where each record represents a session. Session record information is stored in various fields, such as key fields, value fields, and timestamp fields. Session information is described as keys and values in order to support query/lookup operations. A session table is associated with a filter, which describes a set of keys that can be used for records in that table. A session table is populated using data contained in security information/events. Rules are created to identify events related to session information, extract the session information, and use the session information to modify a session table. A session table is partitioned so that the number of records in each session table partition is decreased. A session table is processed periodically so that active sessions are moved to the current partition.

Abstract: A method and associated systems for caching linked queries for optimized compliance management. A user requests that a local application perform an operation upon a local dataset. The processor, in response, determines that the operation requires access to remote auxiliary data that is managed by a remote application. The processor reads from a local cache a set of provisional links that identify past sources of the auxiliary information, and displays information associated with those links to the user, clearly identifying the links and associated information as being provisional. If the user requires direct access to the auxiliary information, the system obtains from the remote application updated, verified versions of the links, replaces the provisional links in the cache with the verified links, and displays to the user the verified links and updated versions of the associated information, clearly identifying the links and information as being verified.
