Because the first processor searches only for the beginning of the predetermined strings, the first stage comparison can be performed quickly, which improves network performance as compared to more detailed searching. The second stage is performed by second processor, which allows the first processor to search for potential matching strings. Because many strings do not match the one or more predetermined strings, the more detailed search performed by the second processor is performed selectively, which increases network performance as compared to more detailed searches on all network data. | 07-14-2011 |

20160092515 | MINING ASSOCIATION RULES IN THE MAP-REDUCE FRAMEWORK - In each iteration of the process of mining association rules from transaction data by a cluster of computing systems, each mapper node in the cluster receives a split of the transaction data. Each mapper node scans the split to count an absolute support value of each candidate itemset for current search level(s), and passes the candidate itemsets and their support values to reducer nodes in the cluster. The number of reducer nodes will be determined adaptively based on the number of the candidate itemsets and the number of maximum available resource nodes in the cluster. Each reducer node combines the absolute support value of each candidate itemset, and finds frequent itemsets among them using a minimum support threshold. For each frequent itemset it finds, the reducer node creates association rule(s) satisfying a minimum confidence threshold, and exports all discovered frequent itemsets and association rules to a file system for storage. | 03-31-2016 |
20160092516 | METRIC TIME SERIES CORRELATION BY OUTLIER REMOVAL BASED ON MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION INTERVAL - A correlation relationship between two metric time series is determined after removing the impact of outlying metric values (“outliers”) that are unimportant for analytical purposes. Each of the metric time series can represent values of different system metrics obtained by mining data gathered through the monitoring of cloud deployments. The outliers can be determined based on a maximum concentration interval of the data. Removing the impact of the outliers enhances the correlation of the metric time series and provides a better representation of the correlation relationship. | 03-31-2016 |
20160110428 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FINDING LABELED INFORMATION AND CONNECTING CONCEPTS - It is possible to partially or fully automate analysis of synthetic data to find labeled information and authored connecting concepts. This can help individuals to find experts in relevant domains, to identify non-obvious solutions to their R&D problems, to serve as a catalyst (input) for innovation, or to categorize prior art relevant to a technological concept seeking venture capital funding, a scientific area for new product development, and/or a patent application in question. | 04-21-2016 |
20160110429 | Systems and Methods for Social Media Data Mining - Systems and methods are provided to collect, analyze and report social media aggregated from a plurality of social media websites. Social media is retrieved from social media websites, analyzed for sentiment, and categorized by topic and user demographics. The data is then archived in a data warehouse and various interfaces are provided to query and generate reports on the archived data. In some embodiments, the system further recognizes alert conditions and sends alerts to interested users. In some embodiments, the system further recognizes situations where users can be influenced to view a company or its products in a more favorable light, and automatically posts responsive social media to one or more social media websites. | 04-21-2016 |
20160125040 | DIGITAL CURRENCY MINING CIRCUITRY HAVING SHARED PROCESSING LOGIC - An integrated circuit may be provided with cryptocurrency mining capabilities. The integrated circuit may include control circuitry and a number of processing cores that complete a Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256) function in parallel. Logic circuitry may be shared between multiple processing cores. Each processing core may perform sequential rounds of cryptographic hashing operations based on a hash input and message word inputs. The control circuitry may control the processing cores to complete the SHA-256 function over different search spaces. The shared logic circuitry may perform a subset of the sequential rounds for multiple processing cores. If desired, the shared logic circuitry may generate message word inputs for some of the sequential rounds across multiple processing cores. By sharing logic circuitry across cores, chip area consumption and power efficiency may be improved relative to scenarios where the cores are formed using only dedicated logic. | 05-05-2016 |
20160162554 | METHODS FOR APPLYING TEXT MINING TO IDENTIFY AND VISUALIZE INTERACTIONS WITH COMPLEX SYSTEMS - A method of detecting textual and behavioral commonalities in warranty reported data. Extracting, by a processor, records of verbatim data from a memory storage unit. A first set of basewords is identified for comparison with the extracted records. A binary flag is set in response to an occurrence of a respective baseword in a respective record. An occurrence matrix is generated that includes entries identifying a number of times basewords are identified in each record. The occurrence matrix is formatted to a format as identified by the user. | 06-09-2016 |
20160162575 | MINING MULTI-LINGUAL DATA - Technology is disclosed for mining training data to create machine translation engines. Training data can be mined as translation pairs from single content items that contain multiple languages; multiple content items in different languages that are related to the same or similar target; or multiple content items that are generated by the same author in different languages. Locating content items can include identifying potential sources of translation pairs that fall into these categories and applying filtering techniques to quickly gather those that are good candidates for being actual translation pairs. When actual translation pairs are located, they can be used to retrain a machine translation engine as in-domain for social media content items. | 06-09-2016 |
20160188675 | NETWORK FOR DIGITAL EMULATION AND REPOSITORY - A network includes a processor; a memory location; a database stored in the memory location; a fielded entity in communication with the memory location; and a virtual replica of the fielded entity. The database includes historical data associated the fielded entity and the processor is configured to analyze the data. | 06-30-2016 |

20220138242 | CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS PROVIDING AUTOMATED GENERATION OF CONTENT SUMMARIES - Systems for generating content summaries in a web content management service, wherein in one embodiment a digital page editor and a component browser are launched to enable selection of a first content item. A summary of the first content item is automatically generated according to parameters that may have default values or values set by a user. The parameters may specify a size for the summary as a percentage of the first content item's size, as a particular number of lines, characters or words, as a size for a particular type of device, etc. The automatically generated summary is provided to the digital page editor, which can edit it and add it to the digital page. The summary is stored in a content repository as an independent summary content item with its own metadata. | 05-05-2022 |
