20120265780 | ON-DEMAND GENERATION OF CORRELATED COLLECTIONS OF MASHABLE DATA FROM DISTRIBUTED, NON-HOMOGENEOUS DATA SOURCES - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the on-demand generation of correlated collections of mashable data from distributed, heterogeneous data sources. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for on-demand generation of correlated collections of mashable data from distributed, heterogeneous data sources is provided. The method includes receiving a request for a data feed from a widget in a mashup rendered in a content browser executing in memory of a computer. The method further includes inspecting a virtual database of data aggregated from different data sources over a computer communications network to locate data requisite to returning the data feed to the widget in the mashup. The method yet further includes querying the data of the virtual database to produce the data feed. Finally, the method includes returning the data feed in the format specified to the widget in the mashup. | 10-18-2012 |
20140122535 | Extracting Semantic Relationships from Table Structures in Electronic Documents - Mechanisms, in a data processing system, are provided for extracting semantic relationships amongst table contents in a table data structure associated with an electronic document. These mechanisms determine a configuration of cells within the table data structure. The mechanisms identify one or more super-cells within the table data structure based on the determined configuration of cells. The mechanisms also, for each super-cell in the one or more super-cells, converts table data corresponding to the super-cell into a semantic relationship statement for the super-cell, wherein the semantic relationship statement identifies one or more relationships between portions of the table data corresponding to the super-cell. The mechanisms further store the semantic relationship statements for each of the super-cells in association with the table data structure. | 05-01-2014 |
20140258817 | CONTEXT-BASED VISUALIZATION GENERATION - An apparatus includes memory, a processor and a visualization analysis unit coupled with the memory and the processor. The visualization analysis unit is configured to detect a visualizable subject matter contained within data. The visualization analysis unit is also configured to determine a context in which the visualizable subject matter appears. The visualization analysis unit is also configured to select a visualization engine from a plurality of visualization engines based, at least in part, on the context in which the visualizable subject matter appears. The visualization analysis unit is also configured to configure the visualization engine to generate a visualization of the visualizable subject matter. | 09-11-2014 |
20140379666 | Error Correction in Tables Using Discovered Functional Dependencies - Mechanisms are provided for performing tabular data correction in a document. Tabular data is received and analyzed to identify at least one portion of the tabular data having an erroneous/missing data value. A functional dependency of the at least one portion of the tabular data on one or more other portions of the tabular data is determined. A correct data value for the erroneous or missing data value of the at least one portion of the tabular data is determined based on the functional dependency of the at least one portion. In addition, the tabular data is modified to replace the erroneous or missing data value with the correct data value and thereby generate a modified table data. A processing operation is then performed on the modified table data to generate a resulting output. | 12-25-2014 |
20150026178 | SUBJECT-MATTER ANALYSIS OF TABULAR DATA - A method for subject-matter analysis of tabular data is provided in the illustrative embodiments. A first document including the tabular data is received. A library of functional signatures for a first subject-matter domain is selected. A determination is made whether a threshold number of functional signatures from the selected library are applicable to the tabular data, wherein a functional signature is applicable to the tabular data when values in the tabular data correspond to an operation and a table structure specified in the functional signature. Responsive to the threshold number of functional signatures from the selected library being applicable to the tabular data, a processor and a memory process the first document according to a process for the first subject matter domain selected from a plurality of processes for respective subject matter domains. | 01-22-2015 |
20150026557 | Subject-Matter Analysis of Tabular Data - A system, and computer program product for subject-matter analysis of tabular data are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A first document including the tabular data is received. A library of functional signatures for a first subject-matter domain is selected. A determination is made whether a threshold number of functional signatures from the selected library are applicable to the tabular data, wherein a functional signature is applicable to the tabular data when values in the tabular data correspond to an operation and a table structure specified in the functional signature. Responsive to the threshold number of functional signatures from the selected library being applicable to the tabular data, a processor and a memory process the first document according to a process for the first subject matter domain selected from a plurality of processes for respective subject matter domains. | 01-22-2015 |

20150081276 | USING NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP) TO CREATE SUBJECT MATTER SYNONYMS FROM DEFINITIONS - Methods, apparatus and systems, including computer program products, for creating subject matter synonyms from definitions extracted from a subject matter glossary. Confidence scores, each representing a likelihood that two terms defined in the subject matter glossary are synonyms, are determined by applying natural language processing (e.g., passage term matching, lexical matching, and syntactic matching) to the extracted definitions. A subject matter thesaurus is built based on the confidence scores. In one embodiment, a statement containing a first term is created based on an extracted definition of the first term, a modified statement is created by substituting a second term in the statement in lieu of the first term, a corpus is searched, and a confidence score is determined based on evidence in the corpus that the modified statement is accurate. The first and second terms are marked as synonyms if the confidence score is greater than a threshold. | 03-19-2015 |
