  • Patent number: 11150793
    Abstract: A method and system for indicating a priority of a first linked node and a second linked node within a plurality of linked nodes associated with an electronically interactive social relations service. The method may include assigning a weight to the first linked node within the plurality of linked nodes. The method may also include assigning a weight to the second linked node within the plurality of linked nodes. Additionally, the method may include determining an adjustment of the weight of the first linked node within the plurality of linked nodes. The method may further include adjusting the weight of the second linked node based on the determining of the adjustment of the weight of the first linked node, the adjusting of the weight of the second linked node corresponding to a link strength of the second link node relative to the first link node.

  • Patent number: 11003716
    Abstract: Embodiments for discovery and analysis of interpersonal relationships from a collection of unstructured text data by a processor. A relationship between one or more entities and extracted text data from a plurality of unstructured text data may be identified such that the relationship includes a sentiment of the relationship, a type of relationship, temporal information, or a combination thereof. The one or more entities may be associated with a knowledge graph based on an ontology of concepts representing a domain knowledge. The extracted information and the identified relationship may be automatically aggregated into a multi-graph representation.

  • Patent number: 10769265
    Abstract: A computer system, method, and computer readable product are provided for managing passwords using steganography. In various embodiments, a computing system provides a password manager that a user provides a password to. The user then selects a service for which credentials will be generated or stored, and an image on the user's device that will be used to steganographically store the credentials. The computing system then generates a steganographic image that includes the credentials and stores that image with the other images on the user's device.

  • Patent number: 10282485
    Abstract: Technique to determine relative relevance of pairs of nodes in a linked data graph, such as an RDF graph, including calculation of raw relevance scores (which are based upon adjacency relations between nodes after edge filtering, the incoming and outgoing degrees of nodes in the graph after the edge filtering, and the distance (or weight) values of the edge(s)) and/or “refined relevance scores,” which take into account “complementary nodes.
