  • Extensible system and method for information extraction in a data processing system
    Patent number: 9418069
    Abstract: A data mashup system having information extraction capabilities for receiving multiple streams of textual data, at least one of which contains unstructured textual data. A repository stores annotators that describe how to analyze the streams of textual data for specified unstructured data components. The annotators are applied to the data streams to identify and extract the specified data components according to the annotators. The extracted data components are tagged to generate structured data components and the specified unstructured data components in the input data streams are replaced with the tagged data components. The system then combines the tagged data from the multiple streams to form a mashup output data stream.
    Type: Grant

  • Efficient predicate evaluation via in-list
    Patent number: 8135738
    Abstract: A predicate over a single column of a table is converted into at least one IN-list, wherein the IN-list is generated for a set of tuples of the column, and the generation is done over a data structure representing a set of distinct values of the column where the predicate applies and having a smaller cardinality than the table. The generated IN-list is evaluated over the set of tuples and the results of the evaluation are outputted as an evaluation of the predicate.
