Abstract:
Method and system for visualizing documents. N-dimensional compact representations are obtained for a set of documents. A plurality of documents are then retrieved with the corresponding N-dimensional compact representations. Each of the retrieved documents is associated with at least one concept. Each of the retrieved documents is projected to a point on a K-dimensional map based on its N-dimensional compact representation so that projected document points in the K-dimensional map maintain the relative distances among the retrieved documents in the N-dimensional space. Regions in the K-dimensional map associated with a concept are identified. A label is generated for each concept in each identified region. Then generated labels are rendered on the K-dimensional map in a corresponding region identified.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein are directed to generating and displaying a user interface that allows data managers to provide supplemental metadata for data sources. In one scenario, a computer system generates a UI that shows an indication of data elements to which a metadata catalog is linked. The metadata catalog includes references to different data sources that store data elements. The UI receives an input indicating that metadata for at least one of the data sources is to be modified. The modification includes providing additional metadata for a specified data source, providing documentation for a specified data source and/or providing an entry point for an access request workflow. The computer system performs the received data source metadata modification according to the received input and, upon determining that the metadata has been modified, displays the updated metadata for the data sources in the UI.
Abstract:
A method, system and controller is provided for searching a database containing data items with a user via a user inter the method comprising the steps of specifying an initial search subset of some or all of the data items in the database (1201); identifying representatives of each of a number of data categories in the search subset (1203); displaying the representatives on the user interface (1204); selecting one or more of the representatives (1205); specifying a refined search subset of data items in the search subset within the data categories corresponding to the selected representatives (1207); and repeating the steps of identifying and displaying representatives for the refined search subset.
Abstract:
An example embodiment of the present invention provides processes for visually emphasizing the displayed URLs in query results based on implicit relevance feedback. In one process, the process identifies a web page which includes results returned by a search engine. Each result might include a displayed URL and an actual URL. The process determines whether the displayed URL matches any stored URLs which were included in previous results returned by the search engine and clicked through by the user. The process detects a click-through by matching the actual URL in an HTTP request emanating from a browser to an actual URL for a stored URL. The process visually emphasizes the displayed URL when presenting the web page to the user, if the displayed URL does not match any stored URL which has been clicked through and other factors indicate a probability the user will click through the displayed URL.
Abstract:
An intuitive user interface is provided for carrying out operations on software objects. The software objects may be databases, and the operations may be Boolean operations. The software objects may be represented by icons, and may be stored hierarchically within a system of folders. Each of Boolean operators may also have an icon, which may operate as a folder. A first software object may be selected and activated by associating it with a desired Boolean operator, for example, by clicking and dragging the first software object onto the icon for the desired Boolean operation. A second software object may then be selected and associated with the activated first software object, for example, by clicking and dragging the second software object onto the icon for the activated first software object. The desired Boolean operation may then be performed to provide an output software object represented by an icon.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for displaying real-time search trends in graphical search specification and result interfaces. In the methods and apparatus of the present invention, a user enters a text-based search argument using a search specification and result interface associated with a search engine. Search results received in response to the search argument are listed in a search results display component of the search specification and result interface. The user then modifies the search argument using a graphical search argument representation component which visually depicts the search argument and associated search parameters (such as, for example, location; search term frequency, etc.). The graphical search argument representation component has controls for modifying the search argument using a visual paradigm. As the user modifies the search argument with the controls of the graphical search argument representation component, graphical search trend indicators indicate the effect on search results in real time. The effect of modifications to the search argument on search results as reflected in the graphical search trend indicators help a user to decide whether modifications to the search argument made with the graphical search argument representation component are improving, or worsening, the accuracy of the search.
Abstract:
A method and a system for traversing search results from a search query are disclosed. The method includes receiving the search results arranged in a first order and allowing traversing of the search results in a selected second order different from the first order. The system includes a search engine that receives search results arranged in a first order and means for reordering the search results in a selected second order different from the first order. The system also includes a user interface through which the reordered search results is traversable.
Abstract:
At least selectively utilizing a large language model (LLM) in generating a natural language (NL) based summary to be rendered in response to a query. In some implementations, in generating the NL based summary additional content is processed using the LLM. The additional content is in addition to query content of the query itself and, in generating the NL based summary, can be processed using the LLM and along with the query content—or even independent of the query content. Processing the additional content can, for example, mitigate occurrences of the NL based summary including inaccuracies and/or can mitigate occurrences of the NL based summary being over-specified and/or under-specified.
Abstract:
A decision support system and method, which receives user inputs comprising: at least one user criterion, and at least one user input tuning parameter representing user tradeoff preferences for producing an output; and selectively produces an output of tagged data from a clustered database in dependence on the at least one user criterion, the at least one user input tuning parameter, and a distance function; receives at least one reference-user input parameter representing the at least one reference-user's analysis of the tagged data and the corresponding user inputs, to adapt the distance function in accordance with the reference-user inputs as a feedback signal; and clusters the database in dependence on at least the distance function, wherein the reference-user acts to optimize the distance function based on the user inputs and the output, and on at least one reference-user inference.
Abstract:
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for generating a conversational presentation, the operations including: providing for display on a graphical user interface (GUI), a query playlist of a series of queries and related responses; displaying on the GUI the series of queries and related responses arranged in a scrollable vertical and horizontal display and a query entry box, wherein each query is displayed in a query header and each related response is displayed in an adjacent response area; and where a user query is entered by a user in the query entry box, pausing or stopping the query playlist, displaying the user query in the query header, and displaying a response to the user query in the response area.
