  • Patent number: 11580326
    Abstract: A method is for matching a set of first classes assigned to a first data set with a set of second classes assigned to a second data set. The method includes constructing, via a set of pre-processing functions, a plurality of alignment profiles such that at least one alignment profile is assigned to each of the first classes and each of the second classes. The method includes generating a comparison matrix for each group of the alignment profiles, such that each group includes at least one of the first classes and at least one of the second classes. The method includes training a first machine learning model, through supervised training, based on the generated comparison matrices and based on probabilistic labels generated by a second machine learning model.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8600962
    Abstract: A transaction processing device including: a representative key decision portion for deciding a representative key to be any one of the keys of every record of a record group as an object for maintaining consistency in a transaction process; a log compilation portion for updating a subordinate log by adding consistence object information indicating the object for maintaining the consistency to the subordinate log other than a representative log corresponding to the representative key among the logs corresponding to every record of the record group; a log update portion for updating the representative log by writing update information for every record of the record group into the representative log; and a record update portion for updating every record by reflecting the update information written into the representative log in the every record of the record group.

  • Publication number: 20100063968
    Abstract: A structured natural language query and knowledge system is provided to allow a user who lacks programming skills to enter a database query or a rule in the form of a structured natural language sentence. The scope of the sentence is preferably defined by an improved object relational query language, an object relational algebra, or both. Command and conditions that appear in natural language form are defined with corresponding formal query texts. A user is prompted to compose a structured natural language sentence using the defined commands and conditions. The user-selected command and its arguments appear as the verb phrase of a structured natural language sentence. The user-selected conditions and their parameters appear as the adjective phrases of the sentence. The sentence is parsed and changed into a translated formal query text for formal database query and rule processing.
