Sep 13, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/953105

Inventors:

John O'Neil - Cambridge MA, US
James Pustejovsky - Arlington MA, US

Assignee:

LingoMotors, Inc. - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

G06F017/27

US Classification:

704/009000

Abstract:

A method (and system) for converting a keyword based search engine coupled to a information source into a natural language enhanced search engine. The method includes determining expression based syntax of the keyword based search engine. The method then couples a natural language based search engine to the keyword based search engine based upon the expression based syntax by linking the natural language based search engine to the keyword based search engine.

International Classification:

G06F017/27

US Classification:

704/009000

Abstract:

The invention provides a method and system for searching information using a reformulated query expression. The method includes entering a query in a form of a natural language expression. The query comprises a plurality of terms. The method also includes reformulating the query by eliminating one or more non-interesting terms using semantic and syntactic information for one or more of the terms; and querying a database of information based upon the reformulated query.

Inventors:

John O'Neil - Watertown MA, US

Assignee:

ATTIVIO, INC. - Newtonville MA

International Classification:

G06F 17/27

US Classification:

704 9

Abstract:

A document can be processed to provide sentiment values for phrases in the document. The sequence of sentiment values associated with the sequence of phrases in a document can be handled as if they were a sampled discrete time signal. For phrases which have been identified as entities, a filtering operation can be applied to the sequence of sentiment values around each entity to determine a sentiment value for the entity.

Assignee:

VideoServer, Inc. - Burlington MA

International Classification:

H04L 1216

US Classification:

370260

Abstract:

A centralized multipoint conferencing arrangement uses a combination of multicast and unicast transmissions that is bandwidth efficient. A method of conferencing includes transmitting multimedia streams from endpoint terminals to a central resource such as a multipoint control unit (MCU) using unicast transmission. The multimedia streams are processed in the MCU and transmitted back to the endpoint terminals using multicast transmission. In addition, the MCU transmits other multimedia streams to selected endpoint terminals using unicast transmission. At the selected endpoint terminals, processing of the multimedia streams is inhibited in favor of processing the other multimedia streams.

International Classification:

G06K 9/62

Abstract:

A system validates the establishment and/or continuation of a connection between two applications over a network. The system uses network application security rules to allow or disallow connections between the two applications. Those rules include definitions of the source and destination applications to which the rules apply. The system automatically updates the application definitions over time to encompass new versions of the applications covered by the security rules, but without encompassing other applications. The system is then capable of applying the updated rules both to the original applications and to the updated versions of those applications. This process enables the security rules to maintain security over time in a way that is consistent with the original intent of the rules even as applications on the network evolve.
