  • Patent number: 8600985
    Abstract: A system for classifying documents in a collection of documents according to their intended readerships includes: a computer configured to select a document in the collection of documents; and a computer to determine a characteristic of the selected document, the characteristic being: misleading when the document includes one or more features that are determined to be for a purpose other than reading the document; commercial when the document includes features that are presented for a commercial purpose; or personal when the document includes features of a personal opinion. A computer classifies the selected document as misleading, commercial, or personal according to its determined characteristic; and a computer repeats the steps of select document, determines a characteristic of the selected document, and classifies the selected document for additional documents in the collection. At least some documents are classified as misleading, some as commercial, and at least some as personal.

  • Publication number: 20130318090
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a system, method and computer program products for information retrieval from multiple documents by proximity searching for search queries. A method includes generating an index for the multiple documents, wherein the index includes words in snippets in the documents. An input search query is processed against the index by searching query terms over the snippets to introduce term proximity information implicitly in the information retrieval. Results of multiple sentence level search operations are combined as output.

  • Publication number: 20130290283
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method are described. In one embodiment, the method is a method for executing and supporting transactions. The method includes receiving a transaction comprising a command and data. The method includes writing the data to a transaction manager on a persistent memory device. The transaction manager also maintains a status of the transaction and reference to entries within memory that are manipulated by the transaction. The method also includes creating an in-memory log of the transaction in a first hash directory. The method includes committing a copy of the first hash directory to a second hash directory maintained on a persistent memory device.

  • Patent number: 8572124
    Abstract: Data may be modeled as an undirected graph. A set of entities and a set of attributes may be defined. A set of relationships may be defined to represent semantic associations with each association connecting at least two entities. Attributes may be associated with entities rather than with relationships. A hierarchical query language with a set of atomic operations on modeled data may be employed. The modeled data may be displayed on a display unit.

  • Publication number: 20130226955
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for supporting bi-temporal data in a key value cache system. An embodiment provides bi-temporal data as the basic functionality of a key value cache system. An embodiment provides a redesign of the core data structures of a key value cache system, adds bi-temporal data storage in the key value hashing structure, and provides a temporality-aware memory space manager. Embodiments can achieve the same performance as current key value cache systems for regular queries (that is, the queries that only access the current versions of data) while supporting bi-temporal data.

  • Patent number: 8479158
    Abstract: A method for use with an information (or data) warehouse comprises managing the information warehouse with instructions in a declarative language. The instructions specify information warehouse-level tasks to be done without specifying certain details of how the tasks are to be implemented, for example, using databases and text indexers. The details are hidden from the user and include, for example, in an information warehouse having a FACT table that joins two or more dimension tables, details of database level operations when structured data are being handled, including database command line utilities, database drivers, and structured query language (SQL) statements; and details of text-indexing engines when unstructured data are being handled. The information warehouse is managed in a dynamic way in which different tasks—such as data loading tasks and information warehouse construction tasks—may be interleaved (i.e., there is no particular order in which the different tasks must be completed).

  • Patent number: 8429116
    Abstract: A system and method for ensuring large and frequent updates to a data warehouse. The process leverages a set of temporary staging tables to track the updates. A set of intermediate steps are performed to accomplish bulk deletions of the outdated changed records, and perform modifications to the map tables for models such as snowflake. Finally, bulk load operations load the updates and insert them into the final dimension tables. The process ensures performance comparable to insertion-only schemes with at most only slight performance degradation. Furthermore, a modified process is applied on the newfact data warehouse dimension model. The process can be readily adapted to handle star schema and other hierarchical data warehouse models.

  • Patent number: 8420365
    Abstract: The invention provides gene-targeted non-human animals comprising a genetically modified 11?HSD1 gene encodes a mutant 11?HSD1 polypeptide which is modulated by human 11?HSD1 modulating compounds. The invention further provides cells expressing mutant 11?HSD1 and cells isolated from gene-targeted animals, which cells produce a mutant 11?HSD1. The invention further provides methods of identifying agents that modulate 11?HSD1 activity, and are useful to treat 11?HSD1-related metabolic disorders.

  • Patent number: 8352470
    Abstract: A method for use with an aggregation operation (e.g., on a relational database table) includes a sorting pass and a merging pass. The sorting pass includes: (a) reading blocks of the table from a storage medium into a memory using an aggregation method until the memory is substantially full or until all the data have been read into the memory; (b) determining a number k of blocks to write back to the storage medium from the memory; (c) selecting k blocks from memory, sorting the k blocks, and then writing the k blocks back to the storage medium as a new sublist; and (d) repeating steps (a), (b), and (c) for any unprocessed tuples in the database table. The merging pass includes: merging all the sublists to form an aggregation result using a merge-sort algorithm.

  • Publication number: 20130006969
    Abstract: A method and system for coping with slice and dice operations in data warehouses is disclosed. An external approach may be utilized, creating queries using structured query language on a computer. An algorithm may be used to rewrite the queries. The resulting predicates may be joined to dimension tables corresponding to fact tables. An internal approach may be utilized, using aggregation functions with early aggregation for creating the queries. The results of the slice and dice operations may be outputted to a user on a computer monitor.

  • Publication number: 20120323962
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed of processing a set-level query across one or more attributes, the query being grouped by one or more attributes, whereby groups that satisfy the set-level query may be aggregated over one or more attributes. The methods use bitwise arithmetic to efficiently traverse bitmap and bit-slice vectors and indexes of a data relation to determine groups that solve the set-level query.
