  • Publication number: 20240111951
    Abstract: In an approach for generating a user-specific personal corpus, a processor creates a basic corpus for a first user using a first set of data sources, wherein the basic corpus includes one or more basic words and one or more vectors of the one or more basic words. A processor extracts a set of text from a second set of data sources associated with the first user. Responsive to finding an unknown word included in the set of text extracted, a processor updates the basic corpus, wherein the basic corpus is updated by replacing a vector of the unknown word with an average vector of the one or more basic words in the basic corpus created and registering the unknown word in a first personal corpus.

  • Patent number: 11882439
    Abstract: A method for authentication is provided. The method includes storing, by a first electronic device, first path information in a memory. The first path information includes data representing a first path of input on a touch interface associated with the first electronic device. One or more first portions of the first path information are communicated to a second electronic device. One or more second portions of second path information are received from the second electronic device. The one or more second portions are compared to the first path information. The second electronic device is authenticated based on similarity between the one or more second portions and the first path information. The method may allow for separate authentication to be performed by each device.

  • Publication number: 20230252065
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for coordinating schedules of crawling documents based on metadata added to documents by text mining. A computer system determines whether added metadata in internal documents or metadata in original documents necessitates that the original documents in at least two of respective data sources be crawled by an application with a same crawling schedule. A computer system changes respective crawling schedules of at least two of the respective data sources to the same crawling schedule, in response to determining that the same crawling schedule is needed. A computer system crawls the original documents in at least two of the respective data sources, according to the same crawling schedule.

  • Publication number: 20220382753
    Abstract: In a method for improving generation and relevancy of search results, a processor receives a search query comprising a search term. A processor generates a document group based on the search query and at least one synonym related to the search term in a synonym dictionary. The synonym dictionary may include search document attributes for base words and synonyms of the base words. A processor extracts, from the document group, an extracted document having a document attribute matching a search document attribute of the at least one synonym. A processor lists the extracted document as a search result.

  • Patent number: 11487768
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for generating search results based on access control of a requesting user. The method includes one or more processors receiving a search query from a user. The method further includes generating a first candidate list of search results based on the received search query. The method further includes generating a second candidate list of search results based on the received search query. Generating the second candidate list of search results includes filtering out potential search results based on indexed access privilege data. The method further includes determining a subset of search result entries in the first candidate list by analyzing a defined number of search result entries in the first candidate list. Analyzing the defined number of search result entries includes attempting to access entries of the defined number utilizing access credentials of the user.

  • Publication number: 20220300635
    Abstract: Provided is a system for managing search queries using encrypted cache data. A processor may receive a search query and encrypted cache data from a search client. The processor may search an index for a listing of target data that matches the search query. The processor may decrypt the cache data and collate the cache data with the listing of target data to ascertain a first accessibility determination to a first data. The processor may query a data source server to ascertain a second accessibility determination to a second data. In response to the query, the processor may receive the second accessibility determination. The processor may prepare a result list by removing a third data from the target data in response to at least one of the first accessibility determination and the second accessibility determination indicating that the third data is inaccessible by the search client.

  • Patent number: 11055116
    Abstract: A host device detects a first request from a first remote device and a second request from a second remote device, each request related to hosting one or more computing desktop environments within a virtual machine, wherein each remote device is at a respective location. The host device determines that the remote devices are qualified to share computing desktop environments based on a proximity threshold. The host device hosts a first computing desktop environment for sharing by the remote devices. The host device gathers respective new locations of the remote devices. The host device determines, by identifying that the respective new locations are not close enough to satisfy the proximity threshold, that the remote devices are no longer qualified to share computing desktop environments. The host device terminates the access of the first remote device to the first computing desktop environment and maintains the access of the second remote device.
