  • Patent number: 12061627
    Abstract: From an unstructured content using an ontology, a forward materialization graph is generated. The forward materialization graph is converted to a set of vector representations comprising multidimensional numbers representing elements of the forward materialization graph. A set of inference paths is computed for the set of vector representations. An inference path in the set of inference paths connecting a first vector representation with a second vector representation. Based on a set of features, the set of vector representations is formed into clusters, a feature in the set of features comprising a relevance probability, the relevance probability corresponding to a relevance of a portion of the unstructured content according to a relevance metric. A structured representation of the unstructured content is placed at an edge location of a content delivery network determined using the set of clusters.

  • Patent number: 11934434
    Abstract: Disambiguation of search keywords to expert systems is performed through the application of a semantic ranking function to determine a classification category with confidence for a given query. The semantic ranking function is executed through an application of a semantic distance distribution profile score through analysis of user problem statement (UPS) with nodes in the taxonomy in the same vector space to create a search that combines a user problem statement and a taxonomical node in the search engine index. The distribution profile score calculation is provenance influenced to derive geographic, cultural, and demographic provenance for a user problem statement.

  • Patent number: 11928451
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programming products for dynamically managing the uninstallation and/or re-installation of software applications stored or accessed by a computing system, including mobile devices. Management of the applications by the system can be periodically managed automatically or based on recommendations. Management of applications being uninstalled or reinstalled may be determined based on a rate a user accesses the application and/or data published or accessible by an application storefront, such as user reviews, storefront rankings, user feedback and uninstallation rates of the applications by other users. Applications experiencing a decreased level of average user satisfaction below a predetermined threshold can be proposed for deletion or automatically deleted. Replacement of underperforming or unsatisfactory applications with alternative applications having similar functionality but a higher rate of user satisfaction can be recommended or installed.
