Publication number: 20170364587Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for generating a context-sensitive summarization of a corpus of content. Natural Language Processing (NLP) operations are performed on text within an input corpus to extract phrases, which are then used to generate a grammatical analysis. In turn, the grammatical analysis is used to determine the thematic relevance of individual sentences in the input corpus. Sentences within the input corpus are then ranked according to their respective thematic relevance. This ranking is used to construct a contextualized content graph, which in turn is used to generate a content summarization for the input corpus.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2016Publication date: December 21, 2017Inventors: Lakshminarayanan Krishnamurthy, Niyati Parameswaran, Sridhar Sudarsan

Publication number: 20170220936Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to identification of material that contains linguistically related content. Key phrases are filtered through a content store to ascertain the linguistically related content and to move the identified content to a target corpus. At least two iterations of the filtering process are employed. Each subsequent iteration of the filtering process identifies at least one new key phrase within the filtered material. In addition, each subsequent iteration takes place with a union of each previously employed key phrase and each new key phrase. As new content is identified, the content is populated to the target corpus.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2016Publication date: August 3, 2017Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel F. Gruhl, Joseph M. Kaufmann, Joseph N. Kozhaya, Pablo N. Mendes, Sridhar Sudarsan

Publication number: 20170076223Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a virtual corpus engine that receives an inquiry to be processed and analyzes the inquiry to extract one or more features of the inquiry. The virtual corpus engine selects a weight matrix associated with a virtual corpus based on the extracted one or more features of the inquiry. The virtual corpus comprises a plurality of actual corpora of information. The weight matrix comprises a separate weight value for each actual corpus in the plurality of actual corpora. The virtual corpus engine processes the inquiry using a set of selected actual corpora selected from the plurality of actual corpora based on the weight values in the weight matrix and receives results of the processing of the inquiry using the set of selected actual corpora. The virtual corpus engine outputs the results of the processing of the inquiry.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2015Publication date: March 16, 2017Inventors: Joseph N. Kozhaya, Christopher M.

Publication number: 20160306846Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure, in certain embodiments, are directed toward providing a visual representation of question quality in a question answering system. More particularly, aspects are directed toward receiving, by a question answering system, an input question having a set of query attributes. The set of query attributes may be user-influenced characteristics of the input question. Aspects of the present disclosure are also directed toward evaluating, by comparing the set of query attributes to a set of assessment criteria, the quality of the input question. Aspects of the present disclosure are also directed toward assigning, in response to evaluating the quality of the input question, a set of quality values to the set of query attributes. Using the assigned set of quality values and the set of query attributes, an icon that indicates a visual representation of the quality of the input question may be generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2015Publication date: October 20, 2016Inventors: Richard H.

Patent number: 8707311Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (200) for managing transactional processing. The methods involve executing a first transaction (120) which is blocked by an exclusive lock of at least one second transaction (110) from accessing at least one resource of a system. Thereafter, a determination is made as to whether a Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) associated with the first transaction is being met. If it is determined that the SLA is not being met, the resources needed by the first transaction are identified. Subsequently, all executing transactions, that are using the resources needed by the first transaction, are identified. At least one of the identified transactions is then dynamically slowed down or speed up. The transaction is slowed down or sped up by: adjusting how many records are to be processed in each sub-transaction of the transaction; and/or increasing or decreasing the time period between commit operations of the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Snehal S.

Patent number: 8037479Abstract: An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for creating and running batch jobs in an object oriented environment, such as a J2EE environment. A request to execute a batch job is received. A deployment descriptor file is processed to identify a batch bean to be invoked. This batch job session bean processes the request, parses deployment descriptor file that comprises definitions of relationships between other helper classes, entity and session beans. The identified batch bean is invoked to execute the batch job step in the order described in the deployment descriptor applying checkpoints at intervals specified in the descriptor.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2008Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Geoffrey Martin Hambrick, Robert Howard High, Jr., Rodney Alan Little, Sridhar Sudarsan

Patent number: 7958172Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions are provided for implementing container managed uses, ownerships, and references in an enterprise JavaBean™ environment. A user may specify a uses, ownership, reference relationships between entity beans and sessions in a deployment descriptor file. When the file is processed, the present embodiment generates methods on the entity beans and allows the container to recognize the relationships, such that the user may access the session beans based on the specified relationships.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2008Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Geoffrey Martin Hambrick, Robert Howard High, Jr., Rodney Alan Little, Sridhar Sudarsan

Patent number: 7912844Abstract: A system for navigating relationships between beans using filters and container managed relationships is provided. With the system, filters are specified in the relationship definition of a deployment descriptor of a bean. The filters generate additional predicates to the WHERE clauses in SQL SELECT statements generated based on the contents of the deployment descriptor. Moreover, these filters may be defined such that method parameters may be passed into the resulting deployed code to thereby make them more flexible. Therefore, with the system, rather than defining filters programmatically in methods of a bean's implementation class, filters are defined declaratively in the deployment descriptor of the bean. Since these filters are specified in the deployment descriptor of the bean, they are accessible to clients of the bean through the local interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2008Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Alan Iain Boyle, Geoffrey M. Hambrick, Martin J. Smithson, Sridhar Sudarsan

Publication number: 20080281853Abstract: Mapping Enterprise Java Bean (“EJB”) attributes to database schema including providing a first metamap including one or more abstracted variable characteristics of a first database schema and creating from the first metamap a second metamap for a second database schema including varying one or more of the abstracted variable characteristics to conform to the second database schema. Typical embodiments also include synchronizing, in response to methods invoked on the EJB and in dependence upon the second metamap, the state of the EJB with a persistent data store having the second database schema. In typical embodiments, synchronizing the state of the EJB with a persistent data store having the second database schema also includes creating records, updating records, and deleting records in the persistent data store.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2007Publication date: November 13, 2008Inventors: Alan Iain Boyle, Kenneth A.
