  • Patent number: 9171062
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for processing a query. A query including constraints for at least two vertically partitioned, inverted indexes is received. The constraints in the query are separated based on the vertically partitioned, inverted indexes. A document identifier iterator is obtained for each of the constraints, wherein each document identifier iterator is associated with a posting list, and wherein each posting list is ordered by document identifier order. A run-time join of the posting lists is performed to obtain a final result set.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2015

  • Publication number: 20140122069
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for utilizing content analytics to automate corrections and improve speech recognition accuracy. A set of current corrected content elements is identified within a transcribed corrected media. Each current corrected content element in the set of current corrected content elements is weighted with an assigned weight based on one or more predetermined weighting conditions and a context of the transcribed corrected media. A confidence level is associated with each corrected content element based on the assigned weight. The set of current corrected content elements and the confidence level associated with each current corrected content element in a set of corrected elements is stored in a storage device for use in a subsequent transcription correction.
