Patent number: 9858267Abstract: An apparatus for calculating a correlation between annotations includes a first obtaining unit configured to provide an annotator with a first data group capable of being evaluated to determine whether or not to attach annotations thereto, and obtaining a plurality of first confidence levels indicating certainty of the annotations in the first data group, the annotator outputting confidence levels indicating certainty of annotations to be attached to data when the data is given; a second obtaining unit configured to provide the annotator with a second data group used to calculate a correlation between the plurality of annotations, and thereby obtaining a plurality of second confidence levels indicating the certainty of the annotations in the second data group; and a computing unit configured to compute an estimated value of the correlation between the plurality of annotations based on the plurality of first and second confidence levels.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yuki Makino, Takuma Murakami, Daisuke Takuma

Patent number: 9767191Abstract: Embodiments relate to retrieving a document from a plurality of document groups in which mutually related documents are each included. An aspect includes acquiring a retrieval condition that includes a plurality of conditions and at least one logical operator that connects the plurality of conditions. Another aspect includes identifying, with respect to each condition of the plurality of conditions, a document group including a document satisfying the condition from among the plurality of document groups. Another aspect includes identifying a document that satisfies at least one condition. Another aspect includes determining a document that is a retrieval result by making a selection to omit or retain that depends on the at least one logical operator. Another aspect includes generating information showing the document that is the retrieval result based on the retrieval condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hiroaki Kikuchi, Yuki Makino, Fumihiko Terui

Patent number: 9170851Abstract: An information processing system includes a number of database servers deployed onto a number of physical nodes in a distributed manner. Among the database servers, at least two servers taking care of data different from one another are deployed onto the same physical node and at least one server taking care of the same data as any of the at least two servers are deployed onto at least one other physical node. A distribution section distributes connections by monitoring load on each of the physical nodes and moving a connection with a client from a database server on a physical node with load heavier than a target to a database server on a physical node with load lighter than the target so that the connections are distributed to balance the load.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2011Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yasuo Hamano, Yuki Makino, Mikio Takeuchi, Gaku Yamamoto
