Patent number: 10885137Abstract: A version analysis of reference materials is performed to identify different versions of the reference materials from an update history. Collaborative or social reference data for the different versions of the reference materials is analyzed to identify authors and contributors of subject matter contained in the reference materials. Affinity weights are assigned to the authors and contributors of the subject matter contained in the reference materials based on the authors' and contributors' history. The assigned affinity weights are aggregated to generate a cumulative relevance for the authors and contributors, wherein the cumulative relevance is used to infer which of the authors and contributors are the micro-editing experts within the appropriate network for the subject matter contained in the reference materials. A view is generated that identifies the micro-editing experts within the appropriate network.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul Bastide, Jonathan Dunne, Liam Harpur, Amy D.

Patent number: 10701024Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for blinder avoidance in social networking interactions includes executing a social networking data processing system in memory of a host computing system to provide a social networking service to different users in a social network. The method also includes defining in memory of the host computing system a user interface interaction for a user interface of the social networking service, and a corresponding user interface change in connection with a presentation of a status update for a user in different streams of other users of the social networking service. In response to detecting the user interface interaction with respect to a stream of status updates presented to one of the other users, the corresponding user interface change is performed in the user interface in connection with the presentation of the status update for the user in the stream.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul Bastide, Liam Harpur, Robert E.

Patent number: 10140363Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for social network crowd translation. A method for social network crowd translation includes selecting a source document to be translated into a specific target language from a source language and parsing the document to determine a context for the source document. The method also includes querying a social network for different individuals with profile data indicating proficiency with the target language and including keywords mapping to the context of the document. Thereafter, in response to locating an individual in the social network having profile data which indicates proficiency with the target language and including keywords mapping to the context of the document, the located individual is notified of a request to translate the document.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul Bastide, Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Lydia M.
