Patent number: 10255355Abstract: The visual analytic system enables information retrieval within large text collections. Typically, users have to directly and explicitly query information to retrieve it. With this system and process, the reasoning of the user is inferred from the user interaction they perform in a visual analytic tool, and the appropriate information to query, process, and visualize is systematically determined.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Alexander Endert, Nicholas O. Cramer, Ralph J. Perko, III, Shawn D. Hampton, Edwin R. Burtner, Kristin A. Cook

Patent number: 9588989Abstract: Search systems and computer-implemented search methods are described. In one aspect, a search system includes a communications interface configured to access a plurality of data items of a collection, wherein the data items include a plurality of image objects individually comprising image data utilized to generate an image of the respective data item. The search system may include processing circuitry coupled with the communications interface and configured to process the image data of the data items of the collection to identify a plurality of image content facets which are indicative of image content contained within the images and to associate the image objects with the image content facets and a display coupled with the processing circuitry and configured to depict the image objects associated with the image content facets.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Deborah A. Payne, Edwin R. Burtner, Shawn J. Bohn, Shawn D. Hampton, David S. Gillen, Michael J. Henry

Publication number: 20160371592Abstract: Information processing systems, reasoning modules, and reasoning system design methods are described. According to one aspect, an information processing system includes working memory comprising a semantic graph which comprises a plurality of abstractions, wherein the abstractions individually include an individual which is defined according to an ontology and a reasoning system comprising a plurality of reasoning modules which are configured to process different abstractions of the semantic graph, wherein a first of the reasoning modules is configured to process a plurality of abstractions which include individuals of a first classification type of the ontology and a second of the reasoning modules is configured to process a plurality of abstractions which include individuals of a second classification type of the ontology, wherein the first and second classification types are different.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2016Publication date: December 22, 2016Inventors: Ryan E. Hohimer, Frank L. Greitzer, Shawn D. Hampton
