  • Patent number: 7917548
    Abstract: A system and method for extracting and converting data from one or more information sources into a common format. The method comprises receiving the information sources, receiving at least one pattern descriptor selected from a graphical user interface, and receiving one or more templates with each templates having at least one pattern descriptor. The method then proceeds to apply the one or more templates to the information sources. The method generates the plurality of data in a common format by parsing the information sources with the templates. The method stores the data in the common format.

  • Patent number: 7555496
    Abstract: A method for spatializing text content for enhanced visual browsing and analysis. The invention is applied to large text document corpora such as digital libraries, regulations and procedures, archived reports, and the like. The text content from these sources may be transformed to a spatial representation that preserves informational characteristics from the documents. The three-dimensional representation may then be visually browsed and analyzed in ways that avoid language processing and that reduce the analysts' effort.

  • Publication number: 20080306899
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media for analyzing conversational-type data by association of two or more types of extracted information in view of time are disclosed according to some aspects. In one embodiment, analysis of conversational-type data comprises identification of topical segments within the conversational-type data and linking of the topical segments with at least one other type of pertinent, extracted information. The linking can be based on a sequential order of utterances that compose, at least in part, the conversational-type data.

  • Publication number: 20060260624
    Abstract: A method for automatic profiling of an entity and a system adopting the method comprises acquiring sensory data having at least one behavioral cue of the entity; annotating the behavioral cues according to an ontology; assigning a behavioral signature to an annotated-behavioral-cue set, wherein the annotated-behavioral-cue set comprises at least one annotated behavioral cue; and associating human subjectivity information with a behavioral-signature set, wherein the behavioral-signature set comprises at least one behavioral signature.
