US Patent:

8473314, Jun 25, 2013

Filed:

Feb 24, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/033756

Inventors:

Robert M. Patton - Knoxville TN, US
Thomas E. Potok - Oak Ridge TN, US
Barbara G. Beckerman - Knoxville TN, US

Assignee:

UT-Battelle, LLC - Oak Ridge TN

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

705 3

Abstract:

Medical reports are converted to document vectors in computing apparatus and sampled by applying a maximum variation sampling function including a fitness function to the document vectors to reduce a number of medical records being processed and to increase the diversity of the medical records being processed. Linguistic phrases are extracted from the medical records and converted to s-grams. A Haar wavelet function is applied to the s-grams over the preselected time interval; and the coefficient results of the Haar wavelet function are examined for patterns representing the likelihood of health abnormalities. This confirms certain s-grams as precursors of the health abnormality and a parameter can be calculated in relation to the occurrence of such a health abnormality.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

707797, 707E17012

Abstract:

A cloud computing platform includes first device having a graph or tree structure with a node which receives data. The data is processed by the node or communicated to a child node for processing. A first node in the graph or tree structure determines the reconfiguration of a portion of the graph or tree structure on a second device. The reconfiguration may include moving a second node and some or all of its descendant nodes. The second and descendant nodes may be copied to the second device.

Appl. No.:

13/737652

Inventors:

Chad Allen Steed - Oak Ridge TN, US
Robert Matthew Patton - Knoxville TN, US

Assignee:

UT-BATTELLE LLC - Oak Ridge TN

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707723

Abstract:

Disclosed are several examples of systems that can read millions of news feeds per day about topics (e.g., your customers, competitors, markets, and partners), and provide a small set of the most relevant items to read to keep current with the overwhelming amount of information currently available. Topics of interest can be chosen by the user of the system for use as seeds. The seeds can be vectorized and compared with the target documents to determine their similarity. The similarities can be sorted from highest to lowest so that the most similar seed and target documents are at the top of the list. This output can be produced in XML format so that an RSS Reader can format the XML. This allows for easy Internet access to these recommendations.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 17/27

Abstract:

A system and method for document recommendation combines linguistic and term frequency approaches in order to improve overall performance and recommendation. Hypernyms are added to the source document set so that related documents can be recommended from the source document set. There are a variety of different parameters to configure that change operation of the document recommendation system.

Abstract:

An adaptive system processes social media streams in real time. The adaptive system included a data management engine that generates combined data sets by detecting and mining a plurality of text-based messages from a social networking service on the Internet. An analytics engine in communication with the data management engine monitors topics in the text-based messages and tracks topic evolution contained in the text-based messages. A visualization engine in communication with the analytics engine renders historical and current activity associated with the plurality of text-based messages.
