  • Patent number: 11068480
    Abstract: Generating structured queries from natural language text may include receiving, using a processor, a natural language text input directed to a database management system and, using the processor, performing natural language processing on the natural language text input using an Unstructured Information Management Architecture. The natural language processing may annotate the natural language text input according to a structure of the database management system. A database operation and query elements may be determined using a processor from the annotated natural language text input. A structured query may be created, using the processor, for the database management system that implements the database operation using the query elements.

  • Patent number: 10970640
    Abstract: Methods for text analysis of medical study data to extract predictive data. Natural language processing is performed on a document in a collection of documents to determine whether the document contains medical model data. In response to determining that the document contains medical model data, content relating to the medical model data in the document is annotated. A first medical model is generated based on the annotations for the identified medical model data and a certainty threshold In response to the certainty threshold meeting a user setting, the first medical model is added to a predictive model for determining a risk score, based on the analyzed data.

  • Publication number: 20180004789
    Abstract: Nutritional information of a recipe is gathered to determine a nutritional value table of a food recipe. A computing device may extract and analyze unstructured text of a food recipe to obtain a plurality of ingredients and a quantity of the plurality of ingredients. The computing device may access dietary preferences of a user. The nutritional information of the food recipe may be calculated using the nutritional value of each of the ingredients and complied into a nutritional value table. The recipe may be determined if the recipe corresponds with the dietary preferences of the user. If a recipe does not correspond with the dietary preferences, then an ingredient causes the recipe to not correspond with the dietary preferences is removed from the recipe creating an altered recipe.
