Patent number: 9911143Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems that receive instrumentation-generated events and that employ statistical inference to discover event topics and to assign a topic or category to each of a number of events. In a described implementation, the events comprise key/value pairs. A seeded local/global-topic latent Dirichlet allocation methods is used to discover topics and assign topics to a set of events. The topic-assigned events are then processed to generate topic signatures, using which the methods and systems assign topics to subsequently received messages.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2014Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: ORACLE AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Ethan Dereszynski, Vladimir Brayman, Weng-Keen Wong, Travis Walker Moore

Patent number: 9633376Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a meta-social graph. In accordance with one implementation, a computerized method comprises collecting a plurality of different online identities of a first online user, each of the different online identities corresponding to a unique social network system. The method also includes collecting a plurality of communication data associated with the first user and determining bi-directional connections of the first user with other users from the collected communication data. In addition, the method may also include creating a meta-social graph from the determined bi-directional connections and the plurality of different online identities and generating a global identifier for the first user. The method also includes storing, in at least one memory device, the meta-social graph with at least one of the generated global identifier, the determined bi-directional connections, and the collected communication data.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2013Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: AOL Inc.Inventors: George F. Fletcher, Lachlan A. Maxwell, Travis A. Walker

Publication number: 20150310097Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing search query relationships and managing electronic content. In accordance with one implementation, log data pertaining to a plurality of queries may be received over an electronic network. A click graph may be generated representing one or more relationships between the queries. Further, temporal similarities may be identified between the queries, for example, by looking at peaks in frequency of queries over time. A pair of search queries may be evaluated based on the generated click graph and the identified temporal similarities to determine whether the queries in the pair are related.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2015Publication date: October 29, 2015Inventors: Sudhir ACHUTHAN, Vineet MAHAJAN, Sean C. TIMM, Travis A. WALKER, Sangchul SONG

Publication number: 20130124556Abstract: A list of “hot topics” may be provided to a user to indicate information that is currently popular. A topic may be deemed popular when a large number of search queries related to the topic are entered by users. A search system may receive and analyze an electronic source of published information to determine a reason for why a particular popular topic is popular. If content related to why a particular popular topic is popular exists in multiple electronic sources of published information, text summarization techniques may be used to determine a reason for why the popular topic is popular by from among the multiple electronic sources of published information.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: May 16, 2013Inventors: ABDUR R.
