  • Patent number: 11797627
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing context-based keyword searching using a search bar. Based on search terms received via the search bar, the system may be configured to provide suggested search parameters to associate with that search term. The suggested search parameters may each include a type of data and/or a filter to associate with the search term (e.g., name, phone number, date of birth, etc.). The one or more suggested search parameters may be identified based on the search term itself, a list of possible types of data or filters, a preliminary search of one or more datasets, a record of one or more previous searches performed, requirements associated with one or more searchable datasets, the format of user input received via the search bar, and/or one or more other factors.

  • Publication number: 20230297582
    Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods are disclosed for automatically clustering and canonically identifying related data in various data structures. Data structures may include a plurality of records, wherein each record is associated with a respective entity. In accordance with some embodiments, the systems and methods further comprise identifying clusters of records associated with a respective entity by grouping the records into pairs, analyzing the respective pairs to determine a probability that both members of the pair relate to a common entity, and identifying a cluster of overlapping pairs to generate a collection of records relating to a common entity. Clusters may further be analyzed to determine canonical names or other properties for the respective entities by analyzing record fields and identifying similarities.

  • Patent number: 11714869
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying relevant information for an entity, referred to as a seed entity. A plurality of search queries can be generated each comprising a property of a seed entity or one of the entities associated with the seed entity (seed-linked entities). Preferably, a collection of search queries includes ones representing different properties of the seed entity and properties of different seed-linked entities. Optionally, the collection of search queries is optimized to reduce search burden. Searches can then be conducted with the search queries in one or more data sources to obtain a plurality of search results, wherein each search result comprises a hit entity and one or more entities associated with the hit entity (hit-linked entity).

  • Patent number: 11567651
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for systems and user interfaces for rapid analysis of viewership information. One of the methods includes accessing databases storing viewership information associated with segments, with each segment being associated with common features of viewers. Measures of association between the segment and content items are maintained for each segment. An interactive user interface is presented via a user device, the interactive user interface enabling creation of a customized viewing audience. The interactive user interface receives user input indicating a segment, identifies similar segments based on associations between features of the segment and of other segments, and presents the identified segments. Analysis information associated with the segments is presented for at least one of the one or more segments, with the segments being included in the customized viewing audience.

  • Publication number: 20230008175
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for selecting training examples to increase the efficiency of supervised active machine learning processes. Training examples for presentation to a user may be selected according to measure of the model's uncertainty in labeling the examples. A number of training examples may be selected to increase efficiency between the user and the processing system by selecting the number of training examples to minimize user downtime in the machine learning process.

  • Publication number: 20220138034
    Abstract: Systems and methods are validating data in a data set. A data set including data to validate and a validator to use in validating the data is selected based on user input generated based on interactions of a user with a graphical user interface. The validator is applied to the data to determine whether one or more statistics generated through application of the validator to the data is valid or invalid based on a validation routine associated with the validator. A data quality report indicating whether the data set is valid or invalid, based on a determination of whether the one or more statistics is valid or invalid, is generated and selectively presented to the user through the graphical user interface.
