Patent number: 9235563Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented processes for identification of features and determination of feature associations in a group of documents can involve providing a plurality of keywords identified among the terms of at least some of the documents. A value measure can be calculated for each keyword. High-value keywords are defined as those keywords having value measures that exceed a threshold. For each high-value keyword, term-document associations (TDA) are accessed. The TDA characterize measures of association between each term and at least some documents in the group. A processor quantifies similarities between unique pairs of high-value keywords based on the TDA for each respective high-value keyword and generates a similarity matrix that indicates one or more sets that each comprise highly associated high-value keywords.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2013Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Stuart J. Rose, Wendy E. Cowley, Vernon L. Crow

Patent number: 8553034Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention includes a data communication subsystem to receive a data stream, and a data processing subsystem responsive to the data communication subsystem to generate a visualization output based on a group of data vectors corresponding to a first portion of the data stream. The processing subsystem is further responsive to a change in rate of receipt of the data to modify the visualization output with one or more other data vectors corresponding to a second portion of the data stream as a function of eigenspace defined with the group of data vectors. The system further includes a display device responsive to the visualization output to provide a corresponding visualization.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2009Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Pak Chung Wong, Harlan P. Foote, Daniel R. Adams, Wendy E. Cowley, James J. Thomas

Patent number: 8131735Abstract: Methods and systems for rapid automatic keyword extraction for information retrieval and analysis. Embodiments can include parsing words in an individual document by delimiters, stop words, or both in order to identify candidate keywords. Word scores for each word within the candidate keywords are then calculated based on a function of co-occurrence degree, co-occurrence frequency, or both. Based on a function of the word scores for words within the candidate keyword, a keyword score is calculated for each of the candidate keywords. A portion of the candidate keywords are then extracted as keywords based, at least in part, on the candidate keywords having the highest keyword scores.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2009Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Stuart J Rose, Wendy E Cowley, Vernon L Crow, Nicholas O Cramer

Patent number: 8073859Abstract: One or more processors (22) are operated to extract a number of different event identifiers therefrom. These processors (22) are further operable to determine a number a display locations each representative of one of the different identifiers and a corresponding time. The display locations are grouped into sets each corresponding to a different one of several event sequences (330a, 330b, 330c. 330d, 330e). An output is generated corresponding to a visualization (320) of the event sequences (330a, 330b, 330c, 330d, 330e).Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2009Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Pak Chung Wong, Elizabeth R. Jurrus, Wendy E. Cowley, Harlan P. Foote, James J. Thomas

Patent number: 7917548Abstract: A system and method for extracting and converting data from one or more information sources into a common format. The method comprises receiving the information sources, receiving at least one pattern descriptor selected from a graphical user interface, and receiving one or more templates with each templates having at least one pattern descriptor. The method then proceeds to apply the one or more templates to the information sources. The method generates the plurality of data in a common format by parsing the information sources with the templates. The method stores the data in the common format.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2003Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Bottelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Alexander G. Gibson, Anne Schur, James C. Brown, Wendy E. Cowley, Nicholas O. Cramer, Dennis L. McQuerry, Patricia A. Medvick, Mark A. Whiting, Marie V. Whyatt

Patent number: 7895210Abstract: Apparatuses and computer-implemented methods for analyzing, on shared and distributed computing systems, information comprising one or more documents are disclosed according to some aspects. In one embodiment, information analysis can comprise distributing one or more distinct sets of documents among each of a plurality of processes, wherein each process performs operations on a distinct set of documents substantially in parallel with other processes. Operations by each process can further comprise computing term statistics for terms contained in each distinct set of documents, thereby generating a local set of term statistics for each distinct set of documents. Still further, operations by each process can comprise contributing the local sets of term statistics to a global set of term statistics, and participating in generating a major term set from an assigned portion of a global vocabulary.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Shawn J. Bohn, Manoj Kumar Krishnan, Wendy E. Cowley, Jarek Nieplocha

Publication number: 20110004465Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented processes for computation and analysis of significant themes in a corpus of documents. The computation and analysis of significant themes can be executed on a processor and involves generating a lexical unit document association (LUDA) vector for each lexical unit that has been provided and quantifying similarities between each unique pair of lexical units. The LUDA vector characterizes a measure of association between its corresponding lexical unit and documents in the corpus. The lexical units can then be grouped into clusters such that each cluster contains a set of lexical units that are most similar as determined by the LUDA vectors and a predetermined clustering threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2009Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTEInventors: Stuart J.
