Structured Document Compression Patents (Class 715/242)
  • Patent number: 11170158
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for abstractive summarization process for summarizing documents, including long documents. A document is encoded using an encoder-decoder architecture with attentive decoding. In particular, an encoder for modeling documents generates both word-level and section-level representations of a document. A discourse-aware decoder then captures the information flow from all discourse sections of a document. In order to extend the robustness of the generated summarization, a neural attention mechanism considers both word-level as well as section-level representations of a document. The neural attention mechanism may utilize a set of weights that are applied to the word-level representations and section-level representations.

  • Patent number: 11163779
    Abstract: The described implementations are operable to determine potential objects of interest to a user based on a blend of the user's long-term behavior and short-term interests. Long term user behavior may be determined for the user over a period of time and represented as continuous data. Short-term interest may be determined based on objects with which the user has recently interacted and attributes of those objects may be represented together as continuous data corresponding to the short-term user interest. The continuous data of the short-term interest and long-term user behavior may be blended to produce a user embedding. The user embedding may then be compared with objects to determine objects that are of potential interest to the user.

  • Patent number: 8615500
    Abstract: A file server has a data compression facility and also a snapshot copy facility or a data de-duplication facility that shares data blocks among files. Compression of the file data on a file system block basis leads to a problem of partially used file system data blocks when the data blocks are shared among files. This problem is solved by partial block allocation so that file system data blocks are shared among files that do not share identical data. Block pointers in the file mapping metadata point to virtual blocks representing the compressed data blocks, and associated virtual block metadata identifies portions of file system data blocks that store the compressed data. For example, a portion of a file system data block is identified by a sector bitmap, and the virtual block metadata also includes a reference count to indicate sharing of a compressed data block among files.

  • Patent number: 8495176
    Abstract: A content management system (CMS) includes a value-add application with a first set of XML content services, one or more dedicated XML processing servers with a second and other sets of XML content services, and a core CMS with a third set of XML content services. The content management system may be designed to provide XML content services at any of these three tiers of processing. A first threshold is defined that allows the value-add application to determine when to offload XML content services to a dedicated XML processing server. A second threshold is defined that allows the core CMS to determine when to offload XML content services to a dedicated XML processing server. Callback services are included that allow each tier of XML content services to send or receive additional information to complete the XML processing. The result is a content management system that is very powerful and flexible.

  • Patent number: 8365067
    Abstract: From a logical point of view, a document processing system allows to read and write single documents. However, physically all documents within a document processing system are usually stored in a sequential binary format and therefore are not accessible in the binary format. In order to move a single document in its physical representation i.e. the binary format, it is proposed to use the logical view to obtain all structural information describing the document as well as its content and all meta data. This information will then be used to create an exact copy of that document outside the document processing system. The invention particularly proposes a native file format to write content such as Lotus Domino notes, that is documents as well as design elements like folders, agents, buttons, etc. to a file. The native file format allows to read content of a document in binary format and write it in a serialized manner to the file.
