Patent number: 8868609Abstract: Tagging methods and apparatus, including computer program products, based on a structured data set. Classification models are created for respective nodes in the structured data set of an event. Public opinions on the event are acquired. The opinions are tagged to corresponding nodes of the structured data set using the created classification models. The tagging methods and apparatus provide well-ordered, focused public opinions for each event to users, and exhibit the evolution of the public opinions along with time.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jian Chen, Ben Fei, Rui Ma, Zhong Su, Xian Wu

Publication number: 20130085690Abstract: A method for checking pipeline leakage comprises: receiving detecting parameters collected by at least one sensor with respect to pipelines in its corresponding region; gathering detecting parameters collected by the at least one sensor; analyzing the gathered detecting parameters to obtain an evolutionary tendency of detecting parameters in the corresponding region of the at least one sensor; judging if the evolutionary tendency of the detecting parameters satisfies predefined features of leakage; determining that pipeline leakage exists in the corresponding region if the evolutionary tendency of the detecting parameters satisfies the predefined features of leakage. The present invention may help to determine leak regions with a leakage having small flow quantity, and provide a user with regions with pipeline leakage to be detected based on a resource constraint.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2011Publication date: April 4, 2013Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ben Fei, Chunhua Tian, Dong Wang, Hao Wang, Xian Wu, Jing Xiao

Publication number: 20110131485Abstract: A method and system for publishing specified content on a webpage. Specifically, an example method for publishing specified content at a specified location of a webpage includes the steps of performing sentiment analysis upon context surrounding a specified location where the specified content is to be published to determine a sentiment tendency of the context surrounding the specified location and selecting whether or not to publish the specified content at the specified location according to the sentiment tendency of the context surrounding the specified location. Embodiments of the invention help to make the webpage content more coherent, make the contents of a webpage matching in sentiment and rational in layout, improve a viewer's feeling of the webpage content, and increase website click rate and revenue. Embodiments help achieve a beneficial effect of providing a web electronic ad matching the sentiment of a webpage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2010Publication date: June 2, 2011Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shenghua Bao, Ben Fei, Zhong Su, Xian Wu, Xiao Xun Zhang

Publication number: 20110082844Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for checking a chemical name. The method tokenizes the chemical name to obtain corresponding tokens; checks the chemical name according to the chemical association between chemical compositions represented by the tokens; and if the chemical name does not pass the check, replaces at least part of tokens of the chemical name that does not pass the check, and repeats the checking step. The system and method can not only help users to find and correct errors in spelling a chemical name but also check the entire chemical name at the level of chemical associations. Hence, not only chemical names that are incorrectly spelled but also ones that do not conform to chemical rules can be found, and significant help is provided to users for correcting chemical names.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2010Publication date: April 7, 2011Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shenghua Bao, Ben Fei, Zhong Su, Xian Wu, Li Zhang, Xiao Xun Zhang

Patent number: 7809716Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for establishing documents relationship based on user's operation upon search result. When a user uses search engine to search for documents with a query in repository, the search result may be a list of ranked documents, and these documents may contain a lot of relationship in term of the specific query. If the user clicks some search result further, and if the click and open operation meet certain conditions, for example exceed a period of time, the clicked document could be deemed as related to the search query. Furthermore it could be inferred that there is a strong relationship between different documents clicked by the user. The present invention records the relationship between documents and presents it to the user when necessary.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2007Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Qing Bo Wang, Wei Zhu Chen, Ben Fei, Zhong Su
