摘要:
A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for predicting influence in a social network. In one embodiment, the method comprises identifying a set of users of the social network, and identifying a subset of the users as influential users based on defined criteria. A multitude of measures are identified as predictors of which ones of the set of users are the influential users. These measures are aggregated, and a composite predictor model is formed based on this aggregation. This composite predictor model is used to predict which ones of the set of users will have a specified influence in the social network in the future. In one embodiment, the specified influence is based on messages sent from the users, and for example, may be based on the number of the messages sent from each user that are re-sent by other users.
摘要:
A method for identifying companies with specific business objectives that includes using existing sources of company firmographic data to identify a broad set of companies and associated websites, crawling the websites associated with the identified companies and indexing web site content for each of the identified companies with the specific business objective to realize indexed web content. The method further includes joining the company firmographic data with the indexed web content using a business objective common identifier to generate a store of joined structured firmographic data and indexed web content and presenting a display image representation of the store of joined structured firmographic data and indexed web content for user review. The display image further receives user input to score each of said companies identified therein, and using a search interface, querying the store of scored, joined structured firmographic data and indexed web content. The method further includes augmenting the search interface, or search results from a query, with predictive, machine-leaning processes that allow rapid identification of companies possibly missed in the query.

A model for impact analysis determines impact of part removal from a product. An entity is identifies that includes a plurality of sub-components. One or more performance measures associated with the entity are identified. One or more of the sub-components to be removed from the entity are identified. A substitution impact function is defined. Impact on said one or more performance measures is determined using the substitution impact function.

A method (and structure) for developing a distribution function for the probability of winning a bid by a seller for a product or service, using the seller's own historical data for winning bids and lost bids, includes normalizing the data for winning bids and the data for lost bids and merging the normalized data into a single set of data.
