Publication number: 20150310096Abstract: Comparing document contents is provided. An ontological concept is extracted from a text snippet of a corpus document. One or more feature vectors are constructed that include associative information that describes an ontology that includes the focused concept. A topic model is trained using the one or more feature vectors. First and second topic sets are respectively extracted from first and second documents using the topic model. One or more topics from the first topic set are matched, using the topic model, with one or more topics from the second topic set to construct a matched topic set. Semantic analyses are respectively performed on first and second text snippet sets, wherein the first and second text snippet sets are chosen based, at least in part, on the matched topic set. Text snippets are matched based, at least in part, on the first and second semantic analyses.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2015Publication date: October 29, 2015Inventors: Shenghua Bao, Hong Lei Guo, Zhi Li Guo, Davide Pasetto, Wei Hong Qian, Zhong Su

Patent number: 8446842Abstract: A method and an apparatus for identifying sub-graphs similar to a sample sub-graph from a network, in particular for identifying similar community structures from a network, are disclosed. Specifically, when a sample sub-graph is a community structure, it usually contains a plurality of nodes densely associated with each other. The method proposes first screening the network via key nodes of community structures so as to find sub-graph candidates that are potentially similar to the sample sub-graph, then strictly comparing the sub-graph candidates with the sample sub-graph to find similar sub-graphs of the sample sub-graph.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nan Cao, Shixia Liu, Wei Hong Qian

Publication number: 20100205238Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for intelligent exploratory visualization and analysis. A semantics-based client-server application architecture is provided that enables interactive visualization and analysis applications over the web. From the client perspective, user activities are observed and the client determines if a sequence of user activities comprises one or more predefined semantics-based user actions. Semantics-based action descriptor are then sent to the server, optionally with any related parameters, and a response is then received from the server. From the server perspective, one or more semantics-based action descriptors are received from the client with an action type selected from a predefined set of types, wherein the semantics-based action descriptors are based on a sequence of activities of a user. The server processes the semantics-based action descriptors and sends a response to the client in response to the one or more semantics-based action descriptors.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2009Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nan Cao, David H.
