Patent number: 11500887Abstract: Technologies for tuning performance and/or accuracy of similarity search using stochastic associative memories (SAM). Under a first subsampling approach, columns associated with set bits in a search key comprising a binary bit vector are subsampled. Matching set bits for the subsampled columns are aggregated on a row-wise basis to generate similarity scores, which are then ranked. A similar scheme is applied for all the columns with set bits in the search key and the results for top ranked rows are compared to evaluate a tradeoff between throughput boost versus lost accuracy. A second approach called continuous column read, and iterative approach is employed that continuously scores the rows as each new column read is complete. The similarity scores for an N-1 and Nth-1 iteration are ranked, a rank correlation is calculated, and a determination is made to whether the rank correlation meets or exceeds a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Sourabh Dongaonkar, Jawad B.

Patent number: 11347800Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for creating parse trees from mixed records is described. A mixed record is received including a first entry containing a first natural language phrase and a second entry containing a first structured data entry. Using the first natural language phrase, a first parse tree structure is created joining words in the first natural language phrase with natural links indicating their semantic relationship within the first natural language phrase. A first synthetic node is created which represents the first structured data entry. The first synthetic is joined to the first parse tree structure using a synthetic link to a node in the parse tree to produce a pseudo parse tree. The pseudo parse tree is sent to a question answer system for answering user queries by reference to the pseudo parse tree.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Steven A Boxwell, Kyle M Brake, Keith G Frost, Stanley J Vernier

Patent number: 11347756Abstract: Described herein are mechanisms to allow users to access functionality of applications in a suite of applications. In a first aspect, when a query relating to functionality of an application is received from a user, an index containing both top-level and sub-level functionality is searched. Results are ranked using a trained machine learning model using both context describing user interactions and the search results. A subset of the ranked results are presented to the user as options. In a second aspect the index can comprise entries describing functionality from other applications so that results presented to the user can include cross-application functionality. In a third aspect, the index can be searched using the context prior to receiving a query and adjusting the user interface based on the results. In a fourth aspect, the system can recommend other applications and/or devices that are better suited to a user's intent.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Madeline Schuster Kleiner, Nathaniel George Freier, Bernhard Kohlmeier, Amod Anil Agashe, Jignesh Shah, Tomasz Lukasz Religa

Patent number: 11347791Abstract: Systems and methods are described for sharing a user interface between users. The system transmits live video simultaneously to a plurality of users. Then, the system determines a subset of the plurality of users, such that the subset includes two users that have a predetermined relationship. Then, during playback of the video, the system detects an object in a frame of the video corresponding to preferences of the first user. In response, the system determines whether the second user is researching information related to the object during playback of the video. If the second user is researching such information, the system streams a mirror image of a user interface with which the second user is performing the researching to the first user.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2021Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Richard Daniel Lee, Ida Wahlquist-Ortiz

Patent number: 11334625Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and wired and wireless network communications to provide an interface between repositories of disparate datasets and computing machine-based entities that seek access to the datasets, and, more specifically, to a computing and data storage platform that facilitates consolidation of one or more datasets, whereby a collaborative data layer and associated logic facilitate, for example, efficient access to, and implementation of, collaborative datasets. In some examples, a system may include an atomized workflow loader configured to receive an atomized dataset to load into a data store, and to determine resource requirements data to describe at least one resource requirement. The atomized workflow loader may be further configured to select a data store type based on a resource requirement, and perform a load operation of the atomized dataset as a function of the data store type.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: data.world, Inc.Inventors: Bryon Kristen Jacob, David Lee Griffith, Triet Minh Le, Jon Loyens, Brett A Hurt, Arthur Albert Keen

Patent number: 11334685Abstract: System and method to produce an anonymized cohort having less than a predetermined risk of re-identification. The method includes receiving a data query of requested traits for the anonymized cohort, querying a data source to find records that possess at least some of the traits, forming a dataset from at least some of the records, and grouping the dataset in time into a first boundary group, a second boundary group, and one or more non-boundary groups temporally between the first boundary group and second boundary group. For each non-boundary group, calculating maximum time limits the non-boundary group can be time-shifted without overlapping an adjacent group, calculating a group jitter amount, capping the group jitter amount by the maximum time limits and by respective predetermined jitter limits, and jittering said non-boundary group by the capped group jitter amount to produce an anonymized dataset. Return the anonymized dataset.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: PRIVACY ANALYTICS INC.Inventors: Sean Rose, Weilong Song, Martin Scaiano

Patent number: 11334629Abstract: In a search system for a chemical compound having a biological activity, a chemical compound searcher calculates feature vectors distances between a feature vector of a specified chemical compound recorded on an exemplar table and feature vectors of the chemical compounds recorded on a search table and obtains similar chemical compounds in response to the feature vectors distances. A GUI displays the similar chemical compounds and information representing biological activities of the similar chemical compounds.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: HITACHI HIGH-TECH SOLUTIONS CORPORATIONInventor: Takashi Isobe

Patent number: 11321517Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for the conversion of documents to reusable content types are disclosed herein. Embodiments may extract the content and metadata of the original document and identify a set of reusable resources from the content and metadata. These reusable resources can each be one of a set of content types common across a plurality of document authoring platforms. Each of the content types may be represented using a content type object associated with that content type. The reusable resources identified by the parsing of the content and metadata of the original document may thus be represented with corresponding reusable objects in a content type format common to a plurality of document authoring tools.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Open Text Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Vaibhav Pradip Pande, Paritosh Tomar
