  • Publication number: 20170075915
    Abstract: A method for generating search suggestions by using fuzzy-score matching and entity co-occurrence in a knowledge base is disclosed. Embodiments of the method may be employed in any search system that may include an entity extraction computer module that may perform partial entity extractions from provided search queries, a fuzzy-score matching computer module that may generate algorithms based on the type of entity extracted and perform a search against an entity co-occurrence knowledge base. The entity co-occurrence knowledge base, which may include a repository where entities may be indexed as entities to entities, entities to topics, or entities to facts among others, may return fast and accurate suggestions to the user to complete the search query. The suggestions may include alternates to the partial query provided by the user that may enhance and save time when performing searches.

  • Publication number: 20160364471
    Abstract: An in-memory database system and method for administrating a distributed in-memory database, comprising one or more nodes having modules configured to store and distribute database partitions of collections partitioned by a partitioner associated with a search conductor. Database collections are partitioned according to a schema. Partitions, collections, and records, are updated and removed when requested by a system interface, according to the schema. Supervisors determine a node status based on a heartbeat signal received from each node. Users can send queries through a system interface to search managers. Search managers apply a field processing technique, forward the search query to search conductors, and return a set of result records to the analytics agents. Analytics agents perform analytics processing on a candidate results records from a search manager.
