Abstract: The technology performs predictive analytics on web content for users researching or tracking detailed topics on the web who are limited by the sparse input capability of current search tools. Using a machine learning technology core and other predictive analytics tools, the technology allows users to create predictive models based on exemplars of their interest such as articles and documents. Predictive models are mathematically patterned and pointed at the web. Results are presented to the user, with the ability to re-train the system as desired as well as create new models. This particular invention has the ability to connect users with similar interests by comparing their predictive models, thus facilitating collaboration and promoting social media interaction (“social clustering”).

Abstract: A peer-to-peer storage system includes a storage coordinator that centrally manages distributed storage resources in accordance with system policies administered through a central administrative console and a lexical recovery sub-system that automatically creates versions of files that are thereafter maintained by the system. The storage resources, or “nodes,” are otherwise unused portions of storage media, e.g., hard disks, that are included in the devices such as personal computers, workstations, laptops, file servers, and so forth, that are connected to a corporate computer network, and are thus otherwise available only individually to the respective devices. The storage coordinator assigns the nodes to various “replication groups” and allocates the storage resources on each of the nodes in a given group to maintaining dynamically replicated current and previous versions of the group files.

The storage coordinator assigns the nodes to various “replication groups” and allocates the storage resources on each of the nodes in a given group to maintaining dynamically replicated versions of the group files. The storage nodes in a given group perform dynamic file replication and synchronization operations by communicating directly, that is, peer-to-peer, using a message-based protocol.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer storage system includes a storage coordinator that centrally manages distributed storage resources in accordance with system policies administered through a central administrative console. The storage resources are otherwise unused portions of storage media, e.g., hard disks, that are included in the devices such as personal computers, workstations, laptops, file servers, and so forth, that are connected to a corporate computer network. The devices are hereinafter referred to collectively as “storage nodes.” The system thus centrally administers and manages the system-wide reuse of storage resources that are otherwise available only individually to the respective devices. The storage coordinator manages the distributed storage resources by assigning the nodes to various groups and allocating the storage resources on each of the nodes in a given group to maintaining dynamically replicated versions of the group files.
