Filed:

Jun 21, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/165423

Inventors:

Anne Jude Hunt - Palo Alto CA, US
Alexander David Black - Guelph, CA
Peter Joseph Sweeney - Kitchener, CA
Ihab Francis Ilyas - Waterloo, CA

Assignee:

Primal Fusion Inc. - Waterloo

International Classification:

G06N 5/02

US Classification:

706 47

Abstract:

Techniques for analyzing and synthesizing complex knowledge representations (KRs) may utilize an atomic knowledge representation model including both an elemental data structure and knowledge processing rules stored as machine-readable data and/or programming instructions. One or more of the knowledge processing rules may be applied to analyze an input complex KR to deconstruct its complex concepts and/or concept relationships to elemental concepts and/or concept relationships to be included in the elemental data structure. One or more of the knowledge processing rules may be applied to synthesize an output complex KR from the stored elemental data structure in accordance with an input context. Multiple input complex KRs of various types may be analyzed and deconstructed to populate the elemental data structure, and input complex KRs may be transformed through the elemental data structure to output complex KRs of different types, providing semantic interoperability to KRs of different types and/or KR models.

International Classification:

G06N 5/02

US Classification:

706 55

Abstract:

There is disclosed a system and method for using a knowledge representation to provide relevant information based on environmental inputs. In an embodiment, the system and method considers environmental information from members in a crowd to generate a pool of interests based on the semantic relevance concepts associated with those interests. The most prominent concepts of interest may then be the basis for presenting content to the crowd as a whole. In another embodiment, environmental inputs and other surrounding inputs are considered as a user context. The concepts may be identified as relevant from the environmental context and used to present information relevant to the user given his or her surroundings.

Assignee:

FIRST RETAIL INC. - Saratoga CA

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707794, 707E17099

Abstract:

In a method, system, and computer-readable medium having instructions for semantic matching, a configuration for one or more ontologies is determined with an ontology that has one or more concepts and a representation for the one or more concepts, and the configuration has an assignment of concepts to positions and one or more relationships between concepts in accordance with the representation. The configuration is optimized in accordance with one or more constraints, and a constraint has a relationship defined in a representation for an ontology and a judgment on a similarity of a plurality of concepts from the one or more ontologies, and an estimate is calculated for a similarity between a first concept and a second concept using the configuration.
