Patent number: 10242008Abstract: Techniques for analyzing a repository are described herein. A method for analyzing a repository may include obtaining a list of known persons in a repository based on objects, users, and groups retrieved from the repository. The method may further select one of the objects having a field and a value, and then determine whether the field of the selected object is a facet based on a probability that the field of the selected object has a limited number of possible values. In analyzing the repository, a repository information archive may be generated. The repository information archive may include the relationship between the selected object and at least one other object, statistics and counts related to properties in the selected objects, and whether or not the field of the selected object is a facet.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yigal S.

Patent number: 10180989Abstract: Techniques for generating query language statements for a document repository are described herein. An example method includes detecting a search query corresponding to a document repository and generating a modified search query by adding atomic tags to the search query, the atomic tags being based on prior knowledge obtained by static analysis of the document repository and semantic rules. The method also includes generating enriched tags based on combinations of the atomic tags and any previously identified enriched tags and generating a first set of conditions based on combinations of the atomic tags and the generated enriched tags and generating a second set of conditions based on free-text conditions. The method also includes generating the query language statements based on the first set of conditions and the second set of conditions and displaying a plurality of documents from the document repository that satisfy the query language statements.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2015Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yigal S.

Patent number: 8165869Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for learning word segmentation from non-white space language corpora. In one illustrative embodiment, the computer implemented method receives text input characters and calculates a ratio-measure for each pair of characters in the input characters. The computer implemented method further determines whether the ratio-measure of each pair of characters is equal to a predetermined threshold value. Responsive to determining the ratio-measure is less than the predetermined threshold value, and a local-minimum value, the computer method further identifies the pair as a weak pair and breaks the weak pair of characters.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2007Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Josemina Marcolla Magdalon, Yigal Shai Dayan, Victoria Mazel, Daniel Cohen
