Abstract: Aspects of processing misaligned annotations include receiving a tokenized document and offset annotation file at a processor. The tokenized document includes a source document and corresponding tokens resulting from a low-level segmentation process. Annotations from the annotation file are applied, in conjunction with tokenization rules, to the source document, and a misalignment responsive to the applying is determined. If the misalignment is caused by an offset mismatch, an offset number of characters between the position counts in the annotation file and the source document is calculated, and the position count in the annotation file is adjusted to coincide with the position count in the source document. If the misalignment is not caused by an offset mismatch, a current position count in the source document is reset to a position count of a previous location in which a most recent alignment between the annotation file and the source document was ascertained.

Abstract: Automatic generation of a document template based on recognized composition element patterns in documents associated with a user is provided. Composition elements used in documents are typically unique to a particular user or to a group of users. An automated template generation system detects composition element patterns in documents associated with the user, and generates and provides one or more useful and relevant templates comprising composition elements consistent with subsets of composition elements used in previously created documents. Generating a document template based on composition element patterns in documents associated with the user improves the user experience, reduces the use of bandwidth, memory, and processing power to reuse composition elements between documents. Additionally, providing user-relevant templates helps to ensure consistency across documents created by the user.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable assignment of translated work to an agent in a customer support environment based on a confidence factor that measures accuracy of translation and an agent's language skill. Specifically, agent proficiencies in a set of natural languages are measured and scored. An incoming customer communication is translated into one or more natural languages and each language translation is assigned a translation score based on a confidence of translation. The skill score and translation score are utilized to calculate a confidence factor for each language. In one approach, the customer communication is assigned to an agent that has a confidence factor greater than a predetermined threshold confidence factor. In another approach, the communication is only assigned if a rule optimizing agent availability and risk of constrained resources is satisfied.

Abstract: A machine translation system can improve results of machine translations by employing preferred translations, such as human translated phrases. In some implementations, the machine translation system can use the preferred translations as heavily weighted training data when building a machine translation engine. In some implementations, the machine translation system can use the preferred translations as an alternate to a result that would have otherwise been produced by a machine translation engine. While it is infeasible to obtain human translations for all translation phrases, preferred translations can be used for problem phrases for which machine translation engines often produce poor translations. The machine translation system can identify problem phrases by assigning a quality score to each translation in a set of translations.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to techniques for allowing write operations to proceed on units smaller than a block. Merely decreasing the block size is not desirable, however, since many files are written in large chunks at once, and larger block sizes can increase speed and decrease the amount of overhead metadata required. Therefore, in order to maintain large block sizes while still obtaining the benefit of being able to make small writes when necessary, blocks may be divided into sub-blocks. Unaligned writes that do not fill up an entire block may be segregated and stored separately from aligned writes, the unaligned writes having finer granularity. These techniques may result in faster operation for unaligned writes. They also especially benefit systems using compression because they allow efficiently partially overwriting compressed blocks.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for storing data files in a file system. The file system provides a plurality of reference data files, where each reference data file in the plurality of data files represents a group of similar data files. The mechanism creates a new data file and associated the new data file with one reference data file in the plurality of data files thus defining an associated reference data file of the plurality of reference data files. The mechanism informs the file system about the association of the new data file with the associated reference data file. The mechanism compresses the new data file using the associated reference data file thereby forming a compressed data file. The mechanism stores the compressed data file together with information about the association of the new data file with the associated reference data file.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for data management in multi-tenant distributive environment. According to the embodiments of the present invention, a tenant-specific virtual metadata server may be created and registered with a task manager in a job processing system. The virtual metadata server provides a tenant-specific logical file system namespace. Any access to tenant data will be performed via the virtual metadata server. In other words, such virtual metadata server acts as an interface between a tenant terminal and an entity file system. In this way, it may effectively realize isolation of tenant data and enhance data security. Moreover, by using a virtual metadata server rather than physically isolating user data, the embodiments of the present invention may guarantee the efficiency of data sharing while improving the data security.

Abstract: A computer-implemented distributed file-system in a distributed data network in which metadata related to the files and directories of the file-system is distributed. A unique and non-reusable inode number is assigned to each file/directory of the file-system. A key-value store built up in rows is created for the distributed metadata. Each of the rows has a composite row key and a row value (key-value pair) where the composite row key for each file/directory includes the inode number of the parent directory, and a name of the file/directory. For files below the maximum file size, the entire file or portion thereof is encoded in the corresponding row value of the key-value pair. In this case, the corresponding composite row key holds the inode number of the file itself and an offset information of the data of the file in the row value. Files above maximum file size are stored in a large-scale storage.

The tagged assets can then be further filtered to identify even deeper relationships between the assets.

Abstract: This disclosure is related to further approximating multiple data vectors of a dataset. The multiple data vectors are initially approximated by one or more stored principle components. A processor performs multiple iterations of determining an updated estimate of a further principle component based on the multiple data vectors that are initially approximated by the one or more stored principle components.

In each iteration the processor constrains the updated estimate of the further principal component to be orthogonal to each of the one or more stored principal components. The data vectors of the dataset are not manipulated but remain the same data vectors that are approximated by the stored principal components.
