  • Patent number: 9760570
    Abstract: A system and method for disambiguating references to entities in a document. In one embodiment, an iterative process is used to disambiguate references to entities in documents. An initial model is used to identify documents referring to an entity based on features contained in those documents. The occurrence of various features in these documents is measured. From the number occurrences of features in these documents, a second model is constructed. The second model is used to identify documents referring to the entity based on features contained in the documents. The process can be repeated, iteratively identifying documents referring to the entity and improving subsequent models based on those identifications. Additional features of the entity can be extracted from documents identified as referring to the entity.

  • Publication number: 20140279731
    Abstract: A system for providing text coverage of a live event, comprising one or more computing devices configured to receive information from one or more structured data sources and from one or more unstructured data sources, and to output information derived therefrom in a periodically updated timeline; a game data processing system comprising a system for deriving data and a story generation system; a social media processing system; and a data source mixing system. A detailed specific example of an embodiment is disclosed in which the live event is a basketball game.
