20090112837 | Proactive Content Dissemination to Users - A content repository of a system stores items of content to be disseminated to users. The content repository generates a content profile for each item of content as the item of content is received. The content profile for each item of content includes information regarding the item of content. A user repository of the system generates and stores a user profile for each user. The user profiles are generated from one or more information sources. The user profile for each user includes information regarding the user. A recommendation engine of the system determines which items of content should be delivered to each user based on the content profiles of the items of content and on the user profile of each user, to yield relevant items of content for each user. The recommendation engine then delivers the relevant items of content to each user. | 04-30-2009 |
20130006796 | METHOD FOR FINDING ACTIONABLE COMMUNITIES WITHIN SOCIAL NETWORKS - A computer-implemented method that includes identifying a social network of a plurality of entities, each entity is associated with at least one other entity in the social network. A group of entities is identified from the plurality of entities that have expressed an interest in any one of a plurality of items. A primitive-community for each of the groups of entities is determined for each distinct item of the plurality of items. Common sets of entities are determined within each primitive-community associated with the each distinct item of the plurality of items based on a minimum support level, using a frequent itemset mining approach, where the first primitive community and the second primitive community are treated as transactions and entities are treated as items. A union including all distinct entities from the common sets of entities is determined from the common sets of entities. | 01-03-2013 |
20130006880 | METHOD FOR FINDING ACTIONABLE COMMUNITIES WITHIN SOCIAL NETWORKS - A non-transitory computer storage medium stores a method that includes identifying a social network of a plurality of entities, each entity being associated with at least one other entity in the social network. A group of entities is identified from the plurality of entities that have expressed an interest in any one of a plurality of items. A primitive-community for each of the groups of entities is determined for each distinct item of the plurality of items. Common sets of entities are determined within each primitive-community associated with the each distinct item of the plurality of items based on a minimum support level, using a frequent itemset mining approach, where the first primitive community and the second primitive community are treated as transactions and entities are treated as items. | 01-03-2013 |
20150046217 | Computing Social Influenceability of Products and Social Influencers - A method for identifying influence on user interest for products and ability of users and products to be influenced is disclosed. A processor identifies a degree of influence a number of influencers has over user interest for each of a number of products based on a history of user interest of a number of users for the number of products, wherein each influencer in the number of influencers as one of a user in the number of users and a product in the number of products. The processor also identifies a degree of ability of one or more of the number of users and the number of products to be influenced based on the degree of influence of each of the number of influencers and a number of relationships between the one or more of the number of users and the number of products and the number of influencers. | 02-12-2015 |
20150220627 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FINDING COLLECTIVE INTEREST-BASED SOCIAL COMMUNITIES - Methods and arrangements for discerning collective interests among communities. A contemplated method includes accepting input comprising: a population of entities, a collection of objects and/or topics, connectivity information among the population of entities, and data relative to an expression of interest of each of the entities in the objects and/or topics; constructing a social network graph among the entities by representing the entities as nodes in the graph and connectivity between the entities as edges in the graph; associating, with each of the entities, the data relative to an expression of interest in the objects and/or topics; defining, relative to the social network graph, separate parameters for social connectivity and collective interests; defining a relative importance parameter for social connectivity and collective interests; defining an objective function based on the social connectivity parameter, the collective interests parameter, and the relative importance parameter; and discerning at least one collective interest-based social community via optimizing the objective function. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein. | 08-06-2015 |

20110173046 | SOCIAL NETWORK MARKETING PLAN COMPARISON METHOD AND SYSTEM - A comparison method and system including retrieving by a computer, first data associated with first interactions between users associated with social networks. The computing system generates a first graph illustrating the first interactions. The computing system identifies targeted users associated with a marketing plan for the users. The computing system enables the marketing plan and retrieves second data associated with second interactions between the users. The computing system generates a second graph illustrating the second interactions, compares the second graph to the first graph, and generates a third graph illustrating first order differences between the first interactions and the second interactions. | 07-14-2011 |
20110173051 | SOCIAL NETWORK MARKETING PLAN MONITORING METHOD AND SYSTEM - A monitoring method and system. The method retrieving by a computer, first data associated with a marketing plan associated with social networks and second data associated with marketing plan objectives. The computer processor identifies social network effects associated with the marketing plan objectives, business key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with the marketing plan objectives, and social network KPIs associated with the associated social network effects. The computer processor represents a marketing plan measurement model comprising a mathematical relationship between the business KPIs and the social network KPIs. The computer processor monitors changes associated with the business KPIs and the social network KPIs and generates and stores a report indicating the changes. | 07-14-2011 |

20090315890 | METHOD FOR ENUMERATING CLIQUES - Techniques for enumerating at least one maximal clique are provided. The techniques include obtaining data, wherein the data comprises a graph, obtaining a user-specified minimum size restriction on at least one maximal clique of interest, filtering the data using the user-specified minimum size restriction to reduce graph size, and enumerating at least one maximal clique from the graph provided that at least one maximal clique exists above the user-specified minimum size restriction. | 12-24-2009 |
20110077941 | Enabling Spoken Tags - Techniques for assigning a spoken tag in a telecom web platform are provided. The techniques include receiving a spoken tag, comparing the spoken tag to a set of one or more template tags, if the spoken tag is a match to a template tag, assigning the spoken tag and updating frequency of the tag in the set of one or more template tags, and if the spoken tag is not a match to a template tag, assigning the spoken tag and registering the spoken tag as a new tag in the set of one or more template tags. | 03-31-2011 |
