  • Patent number: 10075407
    Abstract: A method and system for facilitating relationships across multiple networks is described. The meta-network includes relationship information describing users, the networks to which such users belong, and the relationships that they have established within such networks. When a relationship is established in a network, it can be used to propagate relationships across any number of networks with the same or different users. The meta-network enhances the users' ability to search for information and manage their relationships across multiple networks. A user can search for other users according to one or more user-specified attributes. One or more users satisfying the user-specified attributes are identified, and a similarity measure may be determined for each of the identified users. A mapping interface is displayed to the user to enable the user to visually compare the identified users having a similarity measure within the displayed range.

  • Publication number: 20150154681
    Abstract: A keyword generator identifies words or phrases of interest in a product catalog and also identifies synonyms for the words or phrases of interest. The synonyms are integrated into the product catalog to generate an enriched product catalog. The level of co-occurrence of synonyms between sets of product catalog entries is identified and, if it meets a threshold level, the product names from the catalog entries are integrated into the other catalog entries in the set, as synonyms.
