Abstract: Methods and systems are described that automatically organize directory hierarchies and to label individual directories systematically. Upon a number of files in a first directory exceeding a maximum number of files, a second directory is created. The files formerly disposed only in the first directory are organized into both of the first directory and the second directory so that the threshold number of files is not exceeded in either of the first or second directories. Organizing the files into the first and second directories uses vector representations of each of the files generated by the system so that, when organized, the first and second directories each include files with similar content. Labels are selected for each of the directories based on a comparison between a vector representation of the collective contents of each directory and vector representations of titles in a database.

Additionally or alternatively, an unstructured data set is analyzed based on a particular schema of a set of schemas. A subset of information is extracted from the unstructured data set, and stored in accordance with the particular schema. Periodically, the unstructured data set is re-analyzed based on a current version of the set of schemas.

Abstract: From a mathematical point of view, thermodynamic properties behave like multi-variable functions and can usually be differentiated and integrated. Many thermodynamic equations with similar function forms could be resolved into families. The members of a family with ‘patterned self-similarity’ can precisely be defined as symmetrical functions, which are left invariant not only in function form, but also in variable nature and relationship under symmetrical operations. The simplest and must evident symmetrical operations happen in the geometrical symmetry of a physical object. Therefore it is possible to employ geometry to reveal symmetry in thermodynamics, incorporate the symmetry to develop a coherent and complete structure (a diagram or model) of thermodynamic variables, and facilitate the subject with the symmetry.
