Patent number: 10867133Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for using a knowledge representation to provide relevant information based on environmental inputs. In an embodiment, the system and method considers environmental information from members in a crowd to generate a pool of interests based on the semantic relevance concepts associated with those interests. The most prominent concepts of interest may then be the basis for presenting content to the crowd as a whole. In another embodiment, environmental inputs and other surrounding inputs are considered as a user context. The concepts may be identified as relevant from the environmental context and used to present information relevant to the user given his or her surroundings.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2011Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: PRIMAL FUSION INC.Inventors: Peter Sweeney, Ihab Francis Ilyas, Naim Khan, Anne Jude Hunt

Patent number: 10649975Abstract: Computer implemented methods for identifying denial constraints are provided herein. The denial constraints can be used with a database schema R. A predicate space P can be generated for an instance I in the schema R. An evidence set EviI can be generated. The evidence set EviI can include sets of satisfied predicates in the predicate space P for each instance I. A minimal set of predicates can be identified for the evidence set EviI. Valid denial constraints can be identified from the minimal set by inverting the predicates in the minimal set.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Qatar FoundationInventors: Ihab Francis Ilyas Kaldas, Paolo Papotti, Xu Chu

Patent number: 10248669Abstract: Techniques for analyzing and synthesizing complex knowledge representations (KRs) may utilize an atomic knowledge representation model including both an elemental data structure and knowledge processing rules stored as machine-readable data and/or programming instructions. One or more of the knowledge processing rules may be applied to analyze an input complex KR to deconstruct its complex concepts and/or concept relationships to elemental concepts and/or concept relationships to be included in the elemental data structure. One or more of the knowledge processing rules may be applied to synthesize an output complex KR from the stored elemental data structure in accordance with context information. Methods of populating an elemental data structure and methods of synthesizing complex KRs from the elemental data structure may depend on user models, context information, preference information, and/or preference models.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: PRIMAL FUSION INC.Inventors: Peter Sweeney, Ihab Francis Ilyas
