Patent number: 10192458Abstract: Methods and arrangements for developing knowledge bases from social media. A question is obtained from social media. Social media are consulted, and a legitimacy of the question is ascertained. All the answers to the question are harvested from the social media including the rich media that is associated with these answers, and the question is filtered out if determined not to be legitimate.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jitendra Ajmera, Shantanu Ravindra Godbole, Himabindu Lakkaraju, Bernard Andrew Roden, Ashish Verma

Patent number: 9418148Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a technique for permitting a machine to discover classes and topics that data contains and to annotate data objects with those identified classes. The technique enables machines to group and annotate data objects in ways that are meaningful and intuitive for a user of the data objects. An interactive method uses clustering, along with feedback from a user on the clustering output, to discover a set of classes. The feedback from the user is used to guide the clustering process in the later stages, which results in better and better discovery of classes and annotations with more and more human feedback. A method can be used to produce labeled data that involves discovering classes and annotating a given dataset with the discovered class labels. This is advantageous for building a classifier that has wide applications, such as call routing and intent discovery.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2012Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Sachindra Joshi, Shantanu Ravindra Godbole, Ashish Verma

Patent number: 8880526Abstract: Systems and associated methods for enhanced concept understanding in large document collections through phrase clustering are described. Embodiments take as input an initial set of phrases and estimate centroids using a clustering process. Embodiments then generate new phrases around each of the current centroids using the current phrases. These new phrases are added to the current set, and the clustering process is iterated. Upon convergence, embodiments finalize clusters based on phrases of any given length.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Indrajit Bhattacharya, Shantanu Ravindra Godbole, Akshit Sharma

Patent number: 8346772Abstract: Systems and associated methods provide a cluster-level semi-supervision model for inter-active clustering. Embodiments accept user provided semi-supervision for updating cluster descriptions and assignment of data items to clusters. Assignment feedback re-assigns data items among existing clusters, while cluster description feedback helps to position existing cluster centers more meaningfully. The feedback can continue until the user is satisfied with the clustering achieved or one or more predetermined stopping criteria have been reached.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Indrajit Bhattacharya, Kumar Avinava Dubey, Shantanu Ravindra Godbole
