  • Patent number: 11216833
    Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting ranked search results on an interactive graphical user interface based on a semantic matching platform that is configured to apply an ontology are disclosed. In one aspect, a computer system comprising one or more computer readable storage devices configured to store a plurality of computer-executable instructions, a semantic matching platform, one or more network communication systems, and one or more hardware computer processors in communication with the one or more computer readable storage devices to execute the plurality of computer-executable instructions to cause the system to receiving search criteria from a user device, parse the search criteria, determine and rank matched search results, and generating instructions for presentation of a portion of the ranked search results on an interactive graphical user interface configured to be displayed on the user device.

  • Publication number: 20160148227
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for automatically generating offers for expressions of interest are disclosed. In one aspect, a computer system comprising a network interface, computer memory, a computer processor, and a computer readable storage medium that stores program instructions configured for execution by the computer processor receives an expression of interest from a user device operated by a user. The computer system further analyzes the expression of interest to extract one or more expression characteristics. The computer system further retrieves, from memory, consumer data associated with the user, external data associated with the expression of interest, and internal data associated with one or more past offers previously generated by the computer system. The computer further generates a suggested offered based on the one or more expression characteristics and the retrieved consumer data, external data, and internal data. The computer further transmits the suggested offer to the user device.

  • Publication number: 20120330772
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for obtaining responses to expressions of interest are disclosed. In one aspect, a computer system comprising computer hardware receives expressions of interest from users, where the expressions of interest comprise expression characteristics. The computer hardware further organizes the expressions of interest based on the expression characteristics to produce expressions of interest. The organized expressions of interest may be presented to one or more entities capable of responding to the organized expressions of interest and/or one or more entities that have an incentive to respond to the organized expressions of interest.

  • Publication number: 20080091633
    Abstract: A modeling system enriched with information from a single source (or multiple sources) that allows for the intelligent extension, formulation or reformulation of a request into various processes including but not limited to transmission, discovery, notification, searching, filtering and storing processes is provided. The innovation builds a network of connected information in a specific domain (or group of domains). Additionally, the system enhances the quality and specificity of the results for queries made in various systems including, but not limited to, search engines.

  • Publication number: 20070288439
    Abstract: A computer system that facilitates presentation of data to a user. A search engine component receives and executes queries on behalf of a user. Results of the query are received and analyzed by an analysis component that filters and organizes the results as a function of relevancy of the data to the user and associated context of the query. A user interface component presents the data to the user in a manner that facilitates easy consumption/processing of data by respective users. The user interface component can dynamically modify display settings as a function of content and type of information displayed, user state, user preferences, explicit or implicit learning, user intent, etc.

  • Publication number: 20070073762
    Abstract: A method and system to process a domain. A domain is modeled with one or more domain models. Support models are generated from domain models. An ontological system utilizes the support models to interact with and manipulate the domain models. Further, the support models are used to describe domain model states.

  • Publication number: 20060178908
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a method is provided in which information about a medical procedure/test is received. The information about the medical procedure/test may include one or more codes or descriptions relevant to the patient and procedure/test that are used to process, identify or classify the medical procedure/test performed by a service provider. Upon receiving the information about the medical procedure/test, a query function is performed to retrieve from a database a list of data sources and/or support information that correspond to the information received. One or more documents are generated that contain the list of data sources and/or support information retrieved from the database.
