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, system and computer program product for inferring topic evolution and emergence in a set of documents. In one embodiment, the method comprises forming a group of matrices using text in the documents, and analyzing these matrices to identify a first group of topics as evolving topics and a second group of topics as emerging topics. The matrices includes a first matrix X identifying a multitude of words in each of the documents, a second matrix W identifying a multitude of topics in each of the documents, and a third matrix H identifying a multitude of words for each of the multitude of topics. These matrices are analyzed to identify the evolving and emerging topics. In an embodiment, the documents form a streaming dataset, and two forms of temporal regularizers are used to help identify the evolving topics and the emerging topics in the streaming dataset.

摘要： A first mapping function automatically maps a plurality of documents each with a concept of ontology to create a documents-to-ontology distribution. An ontology-to-class distribution that maps concepts in the ontology to class labels, respectively, is received, and a classifier is generated that labels a selected document with an associated class identified based on the documents-to-ontology distribution and the ontology-to-class distribution.

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.

摘要： The present invention employs data processing systems to handle debt collection by formulation the collections process as a Markov Decision Process with constrained resources, thus making it possible automatically to generate an optimal collections policy with respect to maximizing long-term expected return throughout the course of a collections process, subject to constraints on the available resources possibly in multiple organizations. This is accomplished by coupling data modeling and resource optimization within the constrained Markov Decision Process formulation and generating optimized rules based on constrained reinforcement learning process comprising applied on the basis of past historical data.
