Publication number: 20160314126Abstract: Systems and techniques for exploring relationships among entities are disclosed. The systems and techniques provide an entity-based information analysis and content aggregation platform that uses heterogeneous data sources to construct and maintain an ecosystem around tangible and logical entities. Entities are represented as vertices in a directed graph, and edges are generated using entity co-occurrences in unstructured documents and supervised information from structured data sources. Significance scores for the edges are computed using a method that combines supervised, unsupervised and temporal factors into a single score. Important entity attributes from the structured content and the entity neighborhood in the graph are automatically summarized as the entity fingerprint. Entities may be compared to one another based on similarity of their entity fingerprints. An interactive user interface is also disclosed that provides exploratory access to the graph and supports decision support processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Applicant: Thomson Reuters Global ResourcesInventors: Hassan Malik, Mans Olof-Ors, Ian MacGillivray, Christy Hatch

Publication number: 20160154856Abstract: The present invention provides a digital communications system for receiving and integrating multiple service communication feeds into an overall composite deliverable by way of an enhanced and interactive user interface. The system receives peer identification and scoring communications signals from multiple services and based on known handshake configurations links peer identification data to dimensions used to generate an integrated peer identification score and list. A graphical user interface allows users to modify the dimension aggregator function to obtain customizable sets of results based on services communications feeds.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2015Publication date: June 2, 2016Applicant: THOMSON REUTERS GLOBAL RESOURCESInventors: Mans Olof-Ors, Marc Kukura, Sam Chadwick, Enav Weinreb, Peter Pircher

Publication number: 20160117393Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing information about a sector and geographic focus of a company and enables user to identify the top product/brands of a company. Trademark records can be leveraged and combined with other sources of data, which can be presented to a user in an integrated graphical user interface, to facilitate combinatorial business intelligence for one or more companies. Analytical data associated with trademark records corresponding to the company included in the search can be generated to provide a ranked list of trademarked names/brands for the company and a combined or integrated view can be generated in a graphical user interface that includes the ranked list of the trademarked names/brands for the company and also includes the recent news or other information related to the trademark names/brands.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2015Publication date: April 28, 2016Inventors: David von Rickenbach, Mark Brusadelli, David Harper, John Kelly, Marc Kukura, Mans Olof-Ors

Patent number: 9244963Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a set of alphanumeric information on a single storage device. First, second and third sets of metadata that are different from each other and that are associated with different subsets of the alphanumeric information are generated by processing the alphanumeric information using first, second, and third criteria, respectively. The first set of metadata is transmitted to a user computer at a first time, the second set of metadata is transmitted to the user computer at a second time subsequent to the first time, and the third set of metadata is transmitted to the user computer at a third time subsequent to the second time. The first, second, and/or third sets of metadata can cause the automated transmission of an alert.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Thomson Reuters (Markets) LLCInventors: Alex M. Spinelli, Doron T. Houminer, Mans A. Olof-Ors

Publication number: 20150363490Abstract: The disclosure relates to entity disambiguation in an interactive fashion based upon attributes. Once disambiguated, a manner in which to review a future article based upon an initial set of attributes and an additional set of attributes and, when needed, generate a warning flag based upon the review is also described. The warning flag may result in a change in the relationship between the entity and an organization such as a bank that is considering engaging in a business relationship with a candidate client, and that may subsequently abandon that plan, or a bank that had previously extended credit to the entity, and that subsequently may be less inclined as a result of the information retrieved by the present invention. A previously accepted entity may also be flagged for credit or anti-money laundering consideration if and when the applicant's situation (e.g., financial situation, involvement in anti-money laundering) changes.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: PATRICK HINCHIN, JOCHEN LOTHAR LEIDNER, MANS OLOF-ORS, STUART WHATLEY

Publication number: 20140164008Abstract: Systems and method for making intelligent business development and licensing decisions are disclosed. The present invention generally relates to an analytical tool that combines multiple data and content sets based on user selected factors and presents the data in the form of manipulatable visualizations to facilitate decision making to address a specific business problem. More specifically, this invention relates to providing a single portal for access to a decision support system that enables the visualization of data from multiple content and data sets to facilitate decision making related to opportunities analysis, asset acquisition, and intellectual property licensing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2013Publication date: June 12, 2014Inventors: Mark Gordon, Tim Miller, Mans A.

Publication number: 20120215777Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining significance between entities are disclosed. The systems and techniques identify a first entity having an association with a second entity, apply a plurality of association criteria to the association, weight each of the criteria based on defined weight values, and compute a significance score for the first entity with respect to the second entity based on a sum of a plurality of weighted criteria values. The systems and techniques utilize information from disparate sources to create a uniquely powerful signal. The systems and techniques can be used to identify the significance of relationships (e.g., associations) among various entities including, but not limited to, organizations, people, products, industries, geographies, commodities, financial indicators, economic indicators, events, topics, subject codes, unique identifiers, social tags, industry terms, general term/s, metadata elements, classification codes, and combinations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2011Publication date: August 23, 2012Inventors: Hassan H.
