Patent number: 11093515Abstract: A method and system for improving an Internet based search is provided. The method includes generating an intent domain associated with a subject based intent classification. An unstructured data analysis process is executed with respect to a content corpus being associated with the subject based intent classification and a search phase entered in a search field of a graphical user interface with respect to a domain specific search query for specified subject matter. In response the subject based intent classification is determined to be associated with the search query and the subject based intent classification is compared to search results data. A subset of search results of the search results data correlating to the subject based intent classification is determined and ranked resulting in a ranked list. The subject based intent classification and the ranked list are presented to a user.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gilbert Barron, Jasmine S. Basrai, Michael J. Bordash, Lisa Seacat DeLuca

Patent number: 10614076Abstract: In embodiments, a ground truth table is used to help determine the relevance of a set of search results from a search query. The ground truth table comprises numerous items, along with a corresponding relevancy ranking for each item. Based on the user interaction with the set of search results, the ground truth table is modified, such that subsequent search queries provide improved results over time. The user interactions can include a click-through action, in which case a user clicked on (or otherwise selected) a search result entry. The user interactions can include a purchase action, wish list addition action, favorite list addition action, and/or a share action, among others. Based on the user interactions, the ranking of an entry in the ground truth table is adjusted. Then, subsequent searches that use the modified ground truth table can provide improved search results.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2016Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gilbert Barron, Michael J.

Patent number: 10231079Abstract: Disclosed aspects include geo-fence management using a cluster analysis technique. A set of dynamic user data is received from a set of users. The cluster analysis technique may be used to process the set of dynamic user data. Accordingly, a geo-fence opportunity event is detected using the cluster analysis technique. Based on a selection criterion with respect to the geo-fence opportunity event, it is determined to provide an opportunity for a subset of the set of users. In response to making the determination, the opportunity can be provided for/to the subset of the set of users.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gilbert Barron, Michael J. Bordash, Louis F. Roehrs, Zachary P. Slayton, Anurag Srivastava

Patent number: 9571968Abstract: Disclosed aspects include geo-fence management using a cluster analysis technique. A set of dynamic user data is received from a set of users. The set of dynamic user data may have identification information which identifies one or more users, location information which indicates location for one or more users, and context information which indicates application context for one or more users. The cluster analysis technique may be used to process the set of dynamic user data. Accordingly, a geo-fence opportunity event is detected using the cluster analysis technique. Based on a selection criterion with respect to the geo-fence opportunity event, it is determined to provide an opportunity for a subset of the set of users. In response to making the determination, the opportunity can be provided for/to the subset of the set of users (e.g., sending a notification to the subset of the set of users).Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2015Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Gilbert Barron, Michael J.

Publication number: 20130231141Abstract: A platform for providing location-based services is disclosed. A location data collection client running on a mobile device periodically obtains data allowing determination of the geographic location of the mobile device (e.g., GPS, cell tower, or WiFi data) and transmits that data and mobile device-specific information to a location-based services (LBS) platform server. The LBS platform server determines geographic location of the mobile device from the received data. For example, the LBS platform server accesses databases associating latitude and longitude coordinates with cell tower data or WiFi data and updates mobile device location to maintain current location information for the mobile device, which can be used as a proxy for the location of a mobile device user. The LBS platform server further includes a set of APIs allowing third-party services providers to access to the location data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2013Publication date: September 5, 2013Applicant: Xtify, Inc.Inventors: Andrew P.
