  • Patent number: 11182416
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for use with an intelligent computer platform and cognitive processing. The embodiments support a mechanism for employing machine learning into dynamically processing a file. File data points are converted to vector form and augmented with similar or synonymous terms. The vector representations of the data points are utilized to identify words and their frequencies, and the identified frequencies are extrapolated and applied to the synonymous terms. As communications are received, the ML model converts the communication to vector form, and compares a feature vector of the communication with data point or file feature vectors to identify and map the communication to a similarly classified file.

  • Patent number: 11151327
    Abstract: An issue tracking system configured to determine whether an issue request submitted by a user of the issue tracking system can, or should, be subdivided into two or more issue requests. In some implementations, the issue tracking system is configured to extract a content item of the issue request (e.g., title, description, and the like) in order to perform a semantic and/or syntactic analysis of that content item. Upon determining that the content item includes two or more clauses linked by a coordinating, subordinating, or correlative conjunction, the system can provide a recommendation to the user to submit discrete two or more issue requests, each one of which corresponds to a single linked clause of the content item.

  • Patent number: 10534808
    Abstract: A visual query such as a photograph, a screen shot, a scanned image, a video frame, or an image created by a content authoring application is submitted to a visual query search system. The search system processes the visual query by sending it to a plurality of parallel search systems, each implementing a distinct visual query search process. These parallel search systems may include but are not limited to optical character recognition (OCR), facial recognition, product recognition, bar code recognition, object-or-object-category recognition, named entity recognition, and color recognition. Then at least one search result is sent to the client system. In some embodiments, when the visual query is an image containing a text element and a non-text element, at least one search result includes an optical character recognition result for the text element and at least one image-match result for the non-text element.

  • Patent number: 10496650
    Abstract: Video segments related to an annotation term are identified from a target video. A video dataset and an image data set are searched using the annotation term to generate a video set and an image set. The video set and the image set are iteratively refined to generate a set of iconic images. A frame level model is generated using the set of iconic images and video segments related to the annotation term are identified from the target video by applying the frame level model to frames of the target video.

  • Patent number: 10445163
    Abstract: Computer system drift can occur when a computer system or a cluster of computer systems deviates from ideal and/or desired behavior. In a server farm, for example, many different machines may be identically configured to work in conjunction with each other to provide an electronic service (serving web pages, processing electronic payment transactions, etc.). Over time, however, one or more of these systems may drift from previous behavior. Early drift detection can be important, especially in large enterprises, to avoiding costly downtime. Changes in a computer's configuration files, network connections, and/or executable processes can indicate ongoing drift, but collecting this information at scale can be difficult. By using certain hashing and min-Hash techniques, however, drift detection can be streamlined and accomplished for large scale operations. Velocity of drift may also be tracked using a decay function.

  • Patent number: 10372745
    Abstract: A method, and associated computer system and computer program product, for computing a value between two concepts in a schema containing concepts which are linked to each other through associations. In a schema S of n concepts C1, C2 . . . Ci . . . Cn, the concepts are linked by associations, each association having a semantic distance set in a range between a minimum and a maximum indicating the concepts are completely similar or dissimilar respectively. An information value is determined between concepts from their semantic distance and informational distance. For dissimilar concepts, the informational distance is computed according to a closeness of the concepts. For similar concepts, the informational distance is computed according to a remoteness of the concepts. Both the first and second functions increase with a number of links between C1 and another concept. The number of links is a topological distance between C1 and the other concept.

    Abstract: Described is a system for generating a semantic space based on the lexical relations between words. The system determines synonym and antonym relations between a set of words. A lexical graph is generated based on the synonym and antonym relations. Manifold embedding of the lexical graph is determined, and Laplacian coordinates of the manifold embedding are assigned as semantic features of the set of words. A quantitative representation of the set of words is generated using the semantic features.
