Patent number: 9836524Abstract: Certain implementations of the disclosed technology include systems and methods for internal co-convergence using clustering when there is hierarchy in the data structure. A method is included for clustering hierarchical database records into a first set of clusters having corresponding first cluster identifications (IDs), each hierarchical database record including one or more field values, the clustering based at least in part on determining similarity among corresponding field values of the hierarchical database records. The method includes receiving parent-child hierarchical relationship information for the hierarchical database records, re-clustering at least a portion of the hierarchical database records into a second set of clusters having corresponding second cluster IDs, the re-clustering based at least in part on the received parent-child hierarchical relationship information, and outputting hierarchical database record information, based at least in part on the re-clustering.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: LEXISNEXIS RISK SOLUTIONS FL INC.Inventor: David Alan Bayliss

Patent number: 9454606Abstract: Disclosed is a system for, and method of, supplementing an internet search. The disclosed techniques may be used to receive an initial internet search criteria entered by a user at an interface (such as a web site) to the internet search engine, identify an entity representation in a database that corresponds to the internet search criteria, and produce an enhanced internet search criteria that may incorporate both the initial internet search criteria and field values from the identified entity representation. The enhanced internet search criteria may be passed to the internet search engine in a manner that is transparent to a user.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2009Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: LEXISNEXIS RISK & INFORMATION ANALYTICS GROUP INC.Inventors: Armando J.
