  • Patent number: 11100276
    Abstract: One or more computing devices carry out a method for generating markup language to represent a calculation relationship among facts, wherein each fact is described by metadata whose characteristics are defined in an extensible business reporting language (XBRL) taxonomy document. In various implementations, the method includes: searching the document for a data item that contains an arithmetic formula, determining which other data items of the document are referenced by the arithmetic formula, determining which of the plurality of facts correspond to the referenced data items, based on the arithmetic formula, generating markup language that represents an arithmetic relationship among the facts corresponding to the referenced data items, and modifying the XBRL taxonomy document with the generated markup language.

  • Publication number: 20210217050
    Abstract: A conversation correlation system is configured to associate social signals with conversations and group the conversations into topic clusters. The topic clusters for different days are linked together to form conversation streams. The conversation streams may identify conversation topics within ecosystems and identify changes in conversation topics over time. Topic labels may be generated for the topic clusters that better describe conversation topics. In one example, the topic labels may be generated using a mutual information topic distribution model.

  • Patent number: 10798784
    Abstract: The present teachings disclose a wire mesh heater including: a wire mesh element having a surface area including a non-contact area and a contact area along at least 50% of a wire mesh element length; a primary conductor including a slit having a contact surface, wherein the contact area contacts the contact surface to provide an electrical connection between the wire mesh element and the primary conductor. In some embodiments, the primary conductor is welded to the wire mesh element, wherein the contact area contacts the contact surface to provide an electrical connection between the wire mesh element and the primary conductor. In some embodiments, an elastic is stretched and secured tautly under tension prior to operation of the wire mesh heater, and the elastic keeps the wire mesh element tautly under tension during operation of the wire mesh heater.

  • Patent number: 10796078
    Abstract: A method of performing XBRL extension taxonomy concept replacement includes analyzing, by a processor, an XBRL document having XBRL tags to identify an XBRL extension taxonomy concept of an XBRL extension taxonomy that is superfluous in comparison with an XBRL base taxonomy concept for an XBRL base taxonomy upon which the XBRL extension taxonomy is based. The processor is configured to identify an extension extended linkrole in the XBRL extension taxonomy that includes the identified XBRL extension taxonomy concept, determine a base extended linkrole in the XBRL base taxonomy that matches the extension extended linkrole, determine an XBRL base taxonomy concept in the base extended linkrole that matches the identified XBRL extension taxonomy concept, and replace the identified XBRL extension taxonomy concept with the XBRL base taxonomy concept in the base extended linkrole.

  • Publication number: 20200242400
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for hyper parameter optimization for machine learning ensemble generation are provided. For example, one or more base models are trained using diverse sets of hyper parameters, wherein different sets of hyper parameters (e.g., hyper parameters with different values) are used to train different base models. A matrix, populated with predictions from the set of base models, is generated.

  • Patent number: 10614248
    Abstract: A system can be designed that shares transaction data across different organizations while preserving data privacy and anonymizing the source organization. Organizations can enter into an agreement to share transaction data with each other through a trusted data sharing system. The organizations can input user records that include primary and secondary explicit user identifiers into the data sharing system. The data sharing system can correlate explicit user identifiers of a user across organizations via an internal identifier without exposing explicit user identifiers. The data sharing system comprises a data anonymizer agent for each sharing organization. A data anonymizer agent selectively applies anonymization filters to quasi-identifiers in the transaction data based on quasi-identifier type to extend data privacy protection measures to quasi-identifiers without drastically reducing or eradicating the utility of the quasi-identifiers.

  • Patent number: 10489817
    Abstract: A social analytic system may identify the social signals associated with a brand, campaign, or any other topic. The social analytic system may generate a vocabulary associated with the brand, campaign, or topic based terms used in the associated social signals. The vocabulary may be used for generating social media analytics and identifying social media events, such as marketing campaigns. In one example, a vocabulary may be compared with vocabularies associated with different constituents to identify the positive and negative terms in the vocabulary.

  • Patent number: 10127205
    Abstract: A computing device parses markup language of an instance document (e.g., an XBRL instance document) that contains a plurality of facts, in which each fact comprises a value that is tagged according to at least one concept of a plurality of concepts. A taxonomy document contains markup language that defines one or more relationships among the plurality of concepts. Based on the parsing of the markup language of the instance document, the computing device determines that at least two of the plurality of facts are in a calculation relationship with one another. The computing device then generates markup language representing the calculation relationships (e.g., XLink) and modifies the taxonomy document (e.g., modifies or extends a linkbase contained in the taxonomy document) with the generated markup language.

  • Patent number: 10110419
    Abstract: An alarm might not have information helpful to resolve the alarm to its contributing events. Thousands of events can occur in a system in a relatively short period of time, and any number of those events can contribute to various alarms. Tracing contributing events to an alarm can provide some helpful insight or at least efficiently provide a starting point for resolving or investigating an alarm. A system can determine, maintain, and persist associations at least among events, rule instances, and alarms to allow alarm-to-contributory event tracing.

  • Publication number: 20180285591
    Abstract: A data security framework can be designed that allows separation of sensitive values from non-sensitive values while substituting obfuscation values for the sensitive values in a document that originally contained both. The data security framework detects a document/form being submitted to a server and determines those values of the document that are sensitive or confidential. The data security framework redacts the document to protect the sensitive values. The data security framework redacts the document by substituting the sensitive values in the document with obfuscation values. The data security framework stores the document or the values of the document (i.e., payload) with the substitute obfuscation values. The data security framework stores the sensitive values in a secure repository distinct from the repository in which the payload or document is stored.

  • Patent number: 10007563
    Abstract: A first event indication is received. In response to receiving the first event indication, it is determined that the first event indication has not been tagged. In response to determining that the first event indication has not been tagged, the first event indication is tagged as comprising an event chain. It is also determined that an event count associated with the event chain does not exceed a threshold. In response to determining that the event count does not exceed the threshold, the first event indication is processed.
