Patent number: 11940996Abstract: With a computerized search engine, retrieve a plurality of electronic documents relevant to a query. Obtaining, via computerized term embedding, from the retrieved documents, a plurality of most similar terms with respect to the query. For each of the most similar terms, determine a pervasiveness score and a relevance score. Filter out, from the most similar terms, those of the terms that are pervasive, based on the pervasiveness score, those of the terms that are irrelevant, based on the relevance score, and those of the terms that are redundant. Output a top number of terms remaining in the most similar terms after the filtering, based on similarity to the query, as discriminative facets.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Md Faisal Mahbub Chowdhury

Patent number: 11941361Abstract: A facility for identifying multi-word expressions in a natural language sentence is described. The facility provides the sentence to each of multiple natural language processing modules including a first module, a second module, and a third module. Each natural language processing module uses a different approach to identify a multi-word expression and a type of the multi-word expression. Upon determining that the multiple identifiers of the multi-word expression differ, the facility determines the multi-word expression using a resolution process, which can involve a logical rule set or a machine learning model.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Unified Compliance Framework (Network Frontiers)Inventors: Dorian J. Cougias, Steven Piliero, Dave Dare, Lucian Hontau, Sean Kohler, Michael Wedderburn

Patent number: 11941565Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for rapid identification and access to relevant regulatory documents. A data model relating regulatory mandates and requirements to citations appearing within an enforcement document is used to rapidly access specific citations within an enforcement document. In the case of image-based enforcement documents, the originality of these documents is preserved while allowing a user to see where the relevant citations appear in the document images. The relevant citations are further compared to business policies to identify potential impacts of regulatory mandates and requirements.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Chris Demchalk, Ryan M. Parker, Lokesh Vijay Kumar, Brian Fromknecht

Patent number: 11941138Abstract: Systems and methods for obfuscating and/or deleting data records are provided. In one implementation, a method for obfuscating data includes a step of receiving a request from a client to obfuscate data records associated with the client. The data records are stored in one or more databases throughout a network. The method also includes searching for one or more occurrences of the data records appearing throughout the network. Upon determining that the data records can be obfuscated without causing undesirable consequences elsewhere in the network, the method includes obfuscating the one or more occurrences of the data records.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: PILOT TRAVEL CENTERS, LLCInventors: John Mardini, Adam Neubauer, Greg Hydro

Patent number: 11941597Abstract: One embodiment provides a method comprising generating a first graphical user interface (GUI) for display on an electronic device. The first GUI comprises data indicative of at least one professional service available for selection. The method comprises receiving, from the electronic device, a request to initiate a professional service selected from the first GUI. The method further comprises generating a second GUI for display on the electronic device. The second GUI comprises a customized questionnaire for collecting information relevant to the professional service selected. The method further comprises receiving, from the electronic device, user responses to the customized questionnaire, and initiating an analysis of the user responses. A communication indicative of the analysis is forwarded to the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Inventor: Kenneth L. Sherman

Patent number: 11940997Abstract: A query processing device includes a communication interface accessing a database and database catalog, a memory storing instructions, and a processor coupled to the memory and the communication interface. The processor executes the instructions to parse a query and generate first and second execution plans for the query, retrieve respective previously determined cardinality values for previously executed logical steps of the first and second execution plans from the database catalog, select an execution plan from the first execution plan or the second execution plan, the selected execution plan having a lower cost based on the previously determined cardinality values, and execute the selected execution plan on data accessed from the database. The query processing system stores actual cardinality values determined during the execution of the logical steps in the database catalog for use by subsequent queries. The query processing device, therefore, re-uses previously determined cardinality values.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ahmad Ghazal, Ron-Chung Hu, Mingyi Zhang

Patent number: 11934369Abstract: A system may include a nested probabilistic data structure that contains nested tables, each table having electronic records associated with different hash functions. A data analytics engine may receive information about a detected action, including action characteristics. In response to the detected action, insertions are executed into the nested probabilistic data structure at multiple levels based on the action characteristics (each insertion incrementing an entry in the data structure selected using the hash functions). The engine then continues to monitor for detected actions. Upon receipt of a query associated with the monitored action (including a query type), a key and level of nesting associated with the query is determined based on the query type. The hash functions are executed on the determined key to retrieve a value from each electronic record in an appropriate nested table, and a minimum of the retrieved values is output in response to the query.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Shashank Mohan Jain, Suchin Chouta

Patent number: 11934406Abstract: A system includes hardware processors and a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the hardware processors, causes the hardware processors to perform actions including receiving an input data set related to digital content, where the input data set includes a plurality of input entries. The actions also include matching one or more input words of each input entry of the plurality of input entries to one or more baseline words of one or more baseline entries of a baseline data set and generating an output data set including a plurality of output entries. Each respective input entry corresponds to a respective output entry of the plurality of output entries, and each respective output entry includes a baseline entry of the one or more baseline entries having a highest probability of matching the respective input entry and additional data associated with the respective input entry.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Zeidee Pineda, Nicole Torres, Bing Xu, Nana Yaw Essuman, Hengyu Tang
