  • Patent number: 11269929
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, methods, systems and computer readable media are provided, in a cognitive data processing system, for implementing a predictive analytics system that utilizes entity and non-entity information. A collection of content is processed to extract defined entities pertaining to one or more domains. Semantic relationships are determined between objects within the collection of content, wherein the objects include undefined entities. The defined entities and objects are resolved based on entity definitions and the semantic relationships to determine defined entities and undefined entities for a resulting data set. The resulting data set is processed to identify one or more relationships between a defined entity and an undefined entity.

  • Patent number: 11100413
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, an entity may be represented by an unstructured feature vector comprising a plurality of features extracted from unstructured data using semantic analysis and a structural feature vector comprising a plurality of features from chemical structure data. A similarity matrix may be used to compare entities and generate a similarity score, based on both the unstructured feature vector and the structural feature vector for each entity. In some aspects, a user may enter a query (from which a chemical structural feature vector is dynamically generated) to compare against entities having unstructured and/or structural feature vectors, stored in a database.

  • Publication number: 20200104465
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to implement a real-time prediction engine for real-time predication of chemical properties through combining calculated, structured, and unstructured data at large scale. Offline components executing within the real-time prediction engine store a computational representation for each of a plurality of chemical structures in a unified storage. Each computational representation maps a respective chemical structure to a vector of calculated chemical structure features and properties, unstructured chemical features and properties, and structured chemical features and properties. The offline components train a computational real-time predictive model based on the computational representations.

  • Patent number: 10140272
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provide for implementing a context aware abbreviation detection and annotation operation. An instance of a full name of an entity is identified in received content and analysis of a context window associated with the instance of the full name of the entity is performed to identify a presence of a pattern of content representative of an abbreviation. An abbreviation is identified as being present in association with the instance of the full name of the entity based on results of the analysis of the context window and a mapping data structure that maps the full name of the entity to the abbreviation is generated. The received content is annotated based on the mapping data structure to thereby generate abbreviation annotations for the received content. The annotated received content is output for use by a cognitive system to perform a cognitive operation based on the annotated received content.
