Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to identification of material that contains linguistically related content. Key phrases are filtered through a content store to ascertain the linguistically related content and to move the identified content to a target corpus. At least two iterations of the filtering process are employed. Each subsequent iteration of the filtering process identifies at least one new key phrase within the filtered material. In addition, each subsequent iteration takes place with a union of each previously employed key phrase and each new key phrase. As new content is identified, the content is populated to the target corpus.

Abstract: Methods and systems for optimizing: the retrieval of data from multiple sources are described. A slot map including slots for the storage of data elements can be obtained. The data elements associated with the slots can be prioritized by weighting values with costs of retrieving the data elements from respective data sources. Each value can be associated with a different data element and can indicate a respective degree of importance of the associated data element. Further, the systems and methods can direct the retrieval of data elements from the respective data sources in an order in accordance with the priority of the data elements to optimize the quality of data obtainable within a critical time constraint. In addition, the retrieved data elements can be stored in corresponding slots on a storage medium.

Abstract: Probabilistic surfacing of potentially sensitive identifiers is provided. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method of and computer program product for surfacing of potentially sensitive identifiers are provided. An input string is read. The input string has a length. The input string is divided into a plurality of tokens. Each of the tokens has a predetermined length. A score is determined for each of the plurality of tokens.

Abstract: A race condition in a workflow representation is detected and corrected. First and second contracts are retrieved for respective first and second analytics of the workflow representation, wherein the contracts specify input types and output types of their analytics. Both contracts include information required to execute their respective analytics by a workflow executor. It is determined that the output type of the first analytic matches the input type of the second analytic based on a comparison of the first contract and the second contract, and that the workflow representation does not include a directed edge connecting the first analytic to the second analytic. The inclusion of a directed edge in the workflow representation connecting the first analytic to the second analytic will correct the race condition in the workflow representation.
