  • Publication number: 20160012058
    Abstract: According to an aspect, automatically adding new concepts to a concept graph includes receiving a string of text, searching a corpus of data to locate additional text related to the string of text, and extracting concepts from the additional text. The extracted concepts include a subset of concepts in the concept graph. The adding new concepts also includes determining whether the string of text should be linked to an existing concept in the concept graph, performing the linking based on determining that the string of text should be linked to the existing concept in the concept graph and, based on determining that the string of text should not be linked to an existing concept in the concept graph, adding a new concept to the concept graph. The new concept is associated with the string of text.

  • Publication number: 20160012106
    Abstract: According to an aspect, summarizing relevance of a document to a conceptual query includes receiving the conceptual query, accessing concepts extracted from the document, and computing a degree to which the conceptual query is related to each of the extracted concepts. The computing is responsive to a metric that measures a relevance between the concepts in the conceptual query and the extracted concepts. The method also includes creating a summary by selecting a threshold number of the concepts having a greatest degree of relation to the conceptual query, and outputting the summary including the selected threshold number of concepts.

  • Publication number: 20160012125
    Abstract: According to an aspect, storing and querying conceptual indices (CIs) includes creating a conceptual inverted index (CII) from the CIs. The CII includes CII entries, each of which corresponds to a concept in a concept graph. Creating the CII includes populating each entry with pointers to documents selected from the CIs having likelihoods of being related to the concept that are greater than a threshold value, and the corresponding likelihoods. An aspect also includes receiving a query that includes a concept in the concept graph, and generating query results from a search that include at least a subset of the pointers to documents. Each of the CIs is associated with a corresponding document and includes a CI entry for each concept in the concept graph, and each of the CI entries specifies a value indicating a likelihood that the document is related to the concept in the concept graph.

  • Publication number: 20110320762
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor comprising a page tracker buffer (PTB), the PTB including a plurality of entries to store an address to a cache page and to store a signature to track an access to each cache line of the cache page, and a PTB handler, the PTB handler to load entries into the PTB and to update the signature. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
