Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a candidate pair of a plurality of digitally stored documents from a document database. The method automatically computes relative positional differences between each digitally stored document of the candidate pair. The method compares the relative positional differences with a similarity function to form a difference similarity vector for the candidate pair. The difference similarity vector includes components corresponding to each relative positional difference. The method aggregates the components of the difference similarity vector to determine a final score for the candidate pair. The method determines a document-level similarity metric from the final score.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media are described for dynamically mitigating slow web pages. Wait time thresholds can be established for individual pages or categories of pages. The wait time thresholds reflect a delay time determined to be acceptable to users. Pages for which wait time thresholds are established can be monitored, and when requests to load one of the pages results in a delay beyond the threshold, which indicates a slow page, alternative content can be provided to the requesting user. The alternative content is selected to be useful to the user in accomplishing the user's goal despite the delay and can be a help page or information for accessing desired information in another way.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a borrower identification and prediction of credit risk associated with the identified borrower is provided. The system includes a server that retrieves an electronic message that includes details of transactions conducted by a first entity over a time. The electronic message is parsed based on a predefined parameter, to identify a second entity, where the first entity has conducted a business transaction with the second entity. Further, a first set of details associated with the second entity is obtained from one or more resources associated with the server. Furthermore, a knowledge graph is generated based on the business transaction and the first set of details. The knowledge graph indicates an association between the first entity and the second entity. Subsequently, a credit risk score associated with lending money to the second entity is predicted based on the knowledge graph.

Abstract: Processes and devices for finding signals within a frequency range include converting an analog input signal to a digital domain using an analog-to-digital converter to create a digital input signal. A first fast Fourier transform (FFT) converts the digital input signal to a frequency input signal, which is binned based on frequency and a threshold to create a binary filter. The digital input signal (from the analog-to-digital converter) is sorted into containers (e.g., using the Chinese remainder theorem) and then run through a second FFT to convert the digital input signal to a frequency intermediate signal. The frequency intermediate signal is sorted into bins and multiplied using the binary filter to create an output frequency signal.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes obtaining, by a de-duplication server, a candidate pair of a plurality of digitally stored documents from a document database. Text elements are identified from each digitally stored document in the candidate pair in response, and the text elements are stored as document extraction attributes. The method then automatically computes and stores relative positional differences of the text elements between each digitally stored document of the candidate pair and a document similarity score based on the relative positional differences. The relative positional differences are compared with a similarity function to form a difference similarity vector for the candidate pair. The difference similarity vector comprises components corresponding to each relative positional difference. The components of the difference similarity vector are aggregated to determine a final score for the candidate pair.
