  • Publication number: 20220343073
    Abstract: A computing system, computer program product, and computer-implemented method for quantitative comment summarization are provided. The method includes receiving a collection of comments, identifying a set of candidate key points corresponding to the collection of comments, and selecting a subset of key points from the set of candidate key points, wherein the selected subset of key points includes key points that are most salient in the collection of comments. The method also includes automatically mapping each comment within the collection of comments to any corresponding key points within the subset of key points based on a match score between each comment and key point pair, as well as generating a summary including the subset of key points and an absolute number or percentage of the comments mapped to each key point.

  • Patent number: 11341188
    Abstract: A computerized text analysis method that comprises: searching a resource of information with a search query comprising at least one of: (a) the specific debatable topic, and (b) a personal derivation of the specific debatable topic, to obtain a list of indices whose index subject contains the personal derivation and/or the specific debatable topic; determining, by applying a rule-based classifier, whether the index subject of each of the indices is (i) in favor of the debatable topic or (ii) against the debatable topic; detecting, in each of the indices, hyperlinks to encyclopedic entries whose entry subjects are person names; and determining that: if the index subject of each of the one or more indices is in favor of the specific debatable topic, then the persons are in favor of the specific debatable topic, and vice versa.

  • Patent number: 11308419
    Abstract: A method including: generating, from a text corpus, a lexicon of unigrams and bigrams comprising an embedding for each of said unigrams and bigrams; training a machine learning classifier on a training set comprising a subset of said lexicon, wherein each of said unigrams and bigrams in said subset has a sentiment label; applying said machine learning classifier to said lexicon, to (i) predict a sentiment of each of said unigrams and bigrams, and (ii) update said lexicon with the predicted sentiments; and performing statistical analysis on said updated lexicon, to extract one or more sentiment composition lexicons, wherein each of said one or more sentiment composition lexicons is associated with a sentiment composition class.

  • Patent number: 9632998
    Abstract: A method comprising using at least one hardware processor for: receiving (a) a proposition and (b) a plurality of claims; identifying a local claim polarity of each claim of the plurality of claims with respect to the proposition; calculating a pairwise claim polarity agreement score for each pair of claims of the pairs of claims reflecting the likelihood of said each pair of claims to have the same claim polarity, wherein the pairwise claim polarity agreement score is associated with each claim of the pair of claims; and determining a global claim polarity for each claim of the plurality of claims based on the local claim polarity of the claim and pairwise claim polarity agreement scores associated with said each claim.

  • Publication number: 20120203584
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying potential customers is provided. Information in a proprietary data repository of a company may be analyzed to thereby determine a first set of textual terms. Publicly available information related to the existing customer set may be analyzed to thereby determine a second set of textual terms. Terms in the first and second sets may be associated with scores. A customer profile may be generated based on the textual terms and associated scores. Potential customers may be identified based on the buyer profile. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 5946491
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for minimizing spill code in regions of low register pressure determines the register pressure at various locations in the computer program. When a live range is selected for spilling, spill code is generated to relieve the register pressure in regions of high register pressure, while spill code is avoided in regions of low register pressure. In this manner a minimum amount of spill code is generated, enhancing both the compile time and the run time of the resultant instruction stream.

  • Patent number: 5774730
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for coloring an interference graph yields a higher number of colored nodes by taking into consideration the colors of neighbors of a node's uncolored constrained neighbors. By assigning a color to a node that is also the color of a neighbor of an uncolored constrained neighbor, one color constraint is removed, increasing the probability of coloring the uncolored constrained neighbor. If more than one of the neighbors of the uncolored constrained neighbors are colored, one of the colors may be selected over the others using an appropriate heuristic.

  • Patent number: 5761514
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for truncating runaway lifetimes of program variables calculates liveness for each variable based on upwardly exposed uses. Reaching definitions are then calculated for at least the program variables that have runaway lifetimes. The liveness information is compared to the reaching definition information to determine whether a variable that is live upon entry to a basic block has a definition that reaches the end of each predecessor block, or has a use within the basic block. If the reaching definition for a variable reaches the beginning of the block and if there is a predecessor block for which there is no reaching definition, the variable has a runaway lifetime. The variable also has a runaway lifetime if there is a use of the variable in a block without a reaching definition for the variable at the beginning of the block. The runaway lifetime is truncated by inserting an instruction such as a pseudo-definition of the variable into the instruction stream at an appropriate place.
