  • Publication number: 20170147540
    Abstract: A system for transforming unstructured documents includes a document intake machine comprising a document scanner. The document intake machine receives a physical trade document from an entity wherein the physical trade document has a format. The document scanner scans the physical trade document to create an electronic file of the physical trade document. A trade-executing machine receives the electronic file and compares the format of the electronic file to a database of known document templates.

  • Publication number: 20170147541
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, machines, systems, computer-implemented methods and computer program products are provided for converting part or all of a document from an unstructured format into a structured format, and combining structured and unstructured data into an unstructured format. In some embodiments, documents are received in an unstructured format, and stored in a repository for querying (e.g., including updating and other operations (e.g., SQL SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, MERGE, etc.)). Responsive to detecting a predetermined number of the documents in an unstructured format stored in a repository for querying, an optimization criteria may be applied to identify one or more components of the stored documents for conversion, and the one or more components of the stored documents are converted from the unstructured format to a structured format.

  • Publication number: 20170147545
    Abstract: A server in a cloud-based environment interfaces with storage devices that store shared content. A user retrieves a document editing application from the server. The document editing application comprises a set of native operating system application code, a web content viewer, and a native operating system interface, which are configured to facilitate a transfer of one or more objects between the native operating system application code and the web content viewer. In response to a user upload request, the server generates an object placeholder in an editable document. Using the native operating system application code, objects can be selected for incorporation into the editable document. Shared access to the editable document and shared access to uploaded objects are provided by the server by posting links to locations in the storage devices. The document editing application replaces the object placeholder with a link to the object as stored by the server.

  • Publication number: 20170147546
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including an extractor and a display unit. To make an actually selected target coincide with a target the user wants to select from a display document, the extractor extracts a document element included in a selected range in a document based on the attribute of the document element. The display unit selectably performs list display of extraction results of the extractor. This allows the user to select a desired document element from the list display, thereby making an actually selected target coincide with a target the user wants to select from the display document.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and embodiments related to aligning an image of a table of a form with an image of a table of a template of the form. Automatically extracting data entered in fields of a table of a form by a user can be aided by matching the form with a template of the form. The form template can have a digitized representation that identifies locations of fields of the form, and that identifies labels of the fields. Matching the form with the form template can enable locations and labels of fields of the form to be identified based on the digitized representation. However, matching the form with the form template may require matching the table of the form with the table of the form template, and matching two tables can be challenging. For example, the tables can be rotated, warped, scaled, etc. relative to each other.

  • Publication number: 20170147578
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for performing analysis validity ranking of information. The method utilizes technology such as MRI, CT, PET, SPECT, EEG, and MEG to collect a user's cognitive event, to analyze the user's cognitive event via analytics, and to correlate the user's cognitive event with a ranking. This correlated data is sent to a database amenable to future inquiries on cognitive events of the user. The search results are based on the level of validity for retrieving accurate search results from the database at a future point in time. A validity and the rank of the data deriving from the user's cognitive event are evaluated based on the brainwaves and the location of the data deriving from the user's cognitive event. The data with a higher validity is ranked higher and tagged accordingly.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for ranking data items are described. In accordance with various example embodiments, a ranking configuration is defined for an object type, the ranking configuration comprising an assignment of one or more ranking dimensions each comprising one or more object attributes to the object type and, for each of the one or more assigned ranking dimensions, one or more corresponding values and a significance weight assigned to each value, at least one of values being a dynamic value corresponding to the context-based object attribute. A ranking condition is generated for each ranking dimension assigned to the object type. The generation of the ranking condition is based at least in part on one or more object attributes, a specified ranking-impact weight, a context value corresponding to the context-based object attribute, and the one or more values and associated significance weights.
