  • Patent number: 11573967
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a computer system including a knowledge graph storing a plurality of entities. A mining of a set of enterprise source documents within an enterprise intranet is performed, by a plurality of knowledge mining toolkits, to determine a plurality of entity names. The plurality of entity names are linked based on entity metadata by traversing various relationships between people, files, sites, groups, associated with entities. An entity record is generated within a knowledge graph for a mined entity name from the linked entity names based on an entity schema and ones of the set of enterprise source documents associated with the mined entity name. The entity record includes attributes aggregated from the ones of the set of enterprise source documents associated with the mined entity name.

  • Patent number: 11544323
    Abstract: Mining of a set of enterprise source documents within an enterprise intranet is performed, by a plurality of knowledge mining toolkits, to determine a plurality of entity names. A plurality of entity records are generated within a knowledge graph for mined entity names from the entity names based on an entity schema and ones of the set of enterprise source documents associated with the mined entity names. Pattern recognition is applied to an active document using an enterprise named entity recognition (ENER) system to identify potential entity names within the document that match a respective one of a plurality of entity records in the knowledge graph. One or more matching entity names are annotated within the document with information from the knowledge graph for the respective ones of the plurality of entity records. The annotated information is displayed with the active document.

  • Publication number: 20220342871
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for cross-provider topic conflation. In aspects, a request relating to one or more topics may be received by a content surfacing platform. One or more data sources of multiple content providers may be searched for documents relating to the topic(s). Document content (e.g., document metadata and sentences, phrases, and other word content within the document) relating to the topic(s) may be extracted from the documents of the various content providers. The document content may be classified and/or separated into subparts. The subparts may be clustered and/or conflated by topic, thereby removing duplicated data while preserving the unique information in each subpart. The conflated topics may be stored in a single knowledge base, such as an enterprise knowledge graph, and/or presented in response to the request.

  • Publication number: 20180165583
    Abstract: Time-stamped activity data, indicative of detected user activity, is received. A generative model explicitly models the rates of certain actions during certain activities and infers values based on observed data corresponding to those activities. A control system generates control signals, based on the inferred values, to control one or more different controlled systems or subsystems.
