  • Patent number: 8751273
    Abstract: Models are generated using a variety of tools and features of a model generation platform. For example, in connection with a project in which a user generates a predictive model based on historical data about a system being modeled, the user is provided through a graphical user interface a structured sequence of model generation activities to be followed, the sequence including dimension reduction, model generation, model process validation, and model re-generation. In connection with a project in which a user generates a predictive model based on historical data about a system being modeled, and in which the project includes a series of user choice points and actions or parameter settings that govern the generation of the model based on rules, which direct the user to select and apply an optimal model.

Historical multi-dimensional data is received representing multiple variables transformed to be maximally predictive for at least one outcome variable to be used as an input to a predictive model of a commercial system, model development process is validated for at one or more sets of such variables and enabling a user of a model generation tool to combine at least two of the variables from the sets of variables.

  • Patent number: 7539682
    Abstract: Row level security (RLS) and cell level security (CLS) are implemented in a database to provide secure dynamic access to database data. Encryption keys are created based on either security classification meta-data tags associated with the individual fields of an incoming data stream or on the security classification of the source network. Without prior knowledge of the incoming data security classification, the present system may generate encryption keys and, if necessary, security classification meta-data on the fly.

  • Patent number: 6101537
    Abstract: A universal electronic resource denotation, request and delivery system allows a user to locate information on a distributed computer system or network such as the Internet by knowing or guessing a short mnemonic alias of an electronic resource without the user having to know the physical or other location denotation such as the universal resource locator (URL) of the desired resource. The system hardware includes a client computer, a local server, a central registry server, a value added server, and a root server.
