Patent number: 10628475Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for maintaining a target accuracy level. A target accuracy level is received. Thresholds including ongoing adjustable automation thresholds for categories are computed based on the target accuracy level. Data is received and a classification score for the categories is generated with respect to the data based on a category knowledgebase. Furthermore, a classification score is detected for a category with a higher classification score than other categories of the plurality of categories that exceeds an ongoing adjustable automation threshold. A reply to the data is automatically sent out based on the category with the higher classification score. The action, the suggestion list, and corresponding received feedback are monitored to generate a historical performance dataset. An actual accuracy level is then determined based on the historical performance dataset.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yigal S. Dayan, Josemina Magdalen, Irit Maharian, Oren Paikowsky

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.
