Patent number: 9607264Abstract: Techniques are described for determining and using information related to domains of interest, such as by automatically analyzing documents and other information related to a domain in order to automatically determine relationships between particular terms within the domain. Such automatically determined information may then be used to assist users in obtaining information from the domain that is of interest (e.g., documents with contents that are relevant to user-specified terms and/or to other terms that are determined to be sufficiently related to the user-specified terms). For example, recommendations may be automatically generated for a user by using information about specified preferences or other interests of the user with respect to one or more terms and identifying other particular terms that are sufficiently probable to be of interest to that user, such as based on a generated probabilistic representation of relationships between particular terms for the domain.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2013Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Atigeo CorporationInventors: Oliver B. Downs, Michael Sandoval, Claudiu Alin Branzan, Vlad Mircea Iovanov, Sopurkh Singh Khalsa

Patent number: 8706664Abstract: Techniques are described for determining and using relevant information related to domains of interest. In at least some situations, the techniques include automatically analyzing documents, terms and other information related to a domain of interest in order to automatically determine information about relevant themes within the domain and/or about which documents have contents that are relevant to such themes. Such automatically determined information related to a domain may then be used in various ways, including to assist users in specifying themes of interest and/or in obtaining documents and/or document fragments with contents that are relevant to specified themes. In addition, information about how the automatically determined information is used by users may be tracked and used as feedback for learning improved determinations of relevant themes and relevant documents within the domain, such as by using automated machine learning techniques.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Atigeo LLCInventors: Oliver B. Downs, Michael Sandoval, Claudiu Alin Branzan, Vlad Mircea Iovanov, Sopurkh Singh Khalsa, Radu Ioan Bisca, Catalin Teodor Milos
