  • Query generation system for an information retrieval system
    Patent number: 10042934
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a query generation system generally includes an element rank and inference engine in communication with a computing system and a user interface. The element rank and inference engine is operable to receive a user supplied element from the user interface, the user supplied element being associated with a first filter criterion. The element rank and inference engine is also operable to create, using the first filter criterion, at least one second element and rank according to their relative importance, the at least one first element and the at least one second element according to their associated first filter criterion and second filter criterion. Next, the element rank and inference engine may output the at least one first filter element and the second filter element to the computing system.

  • System and Method for Discovering Latent Relationships in Data
    Publication number: 20100114890
    Abstract: A computerized method of querying an array of vectors includes receiving a first matrix, partitioning the first matrix into a plurality of subset matrices, and processing each subset matrix with a natural language analysis process to create a plurality of processed subset matrices. The first matrix includes a first plurality of terms and represents one or more data objects to be queried, each subset matrix includes similar vectors from the first matrix, and each processed subset matrix relates terms in each subset matrix to each other.
