  • Patent number: 11138244
    Abstract: Identifying and visualizing geographic data includes obtaining a set of data including candidate geographic data elements. Metrics are determined based on two or more of: a best parent for the candidate geographic data elements; additional concepts associated with the candidate geographic data elements; and an average distance between the candidate geographic data elements. Then, the candidate geographic data elements are identified as geographic based on the metrics and a map is generated displaying the candidate geographic data elements identified as geographic.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 5, 2021
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Patent number: 9786071
    Abstract: One or more processors sort a plurality of geometric shapes using one or more size criteria. One or more processors determine whether the plurality of geometric shapes include at least one geometric shape that encapsulates or partially overlaps at least one other geometric shape. One or more processors assign a hierarchical order for the plurality of geometric shapes based, at least in part, on the one or more size criteria and one or more criteria of one or both encapsulation and partial overlap.
