Embodiments of the presently disclosed invention are directed to a document processing system and method that facilitates the processing and extraction of data from the documents. The system and method receive at least one document, where the document may contain data for extraction. The document may then be converted into a preferred document format and outputted to a user interface. The system and method may then receive a selection of at least a portion of the document, wherein the selection contains data for extraction. Based on the selection, at least one coordinate set corresponding to the selection and associated with at least one data field of interest is generated. Then the data from the selection of the document is extracted using the at least one coordinate set. Finally, a structured data set that includes the extracted data is generating, and storing in a computer memory.

Coordinate-based document processing and data entry system and method

A system and method for processing a document to generate a set of related documents. A system is provided that includes a textual analytics system that analyzes unstructured data contained in a source document and extracts a set of structured information about the source document; and a compare system that identifies a set of related documents by comparing the set of structured information with metadata indexed from a set of publications.

System and method for using text analytics to identify a set of related documents from a source document

A method of data loading for large information warehouses includes performing checkpointing concurrently with data loading into an information warehouse, the checkpointing ensuring consistency among multiple tables; and recovering from a failure in the data loading using the checkpointing. A method is also disclosed for performing versioning concurrently with data loading into an information warehouse. The versioning method enables processing undo and redo operations of the data loading between a later version and a previous version. Data load failure recovery is performed without starting a data load from the beginning but rather from a latest checkpoint for data loading at an information warehouse level using a checkpoint process characterized by a state transition diagram having a multiplicity of states; and tracking state transitions among the states using a system state table.

Failure recovery and error correction techniques for data loading in information warehouses

A method for analyzing predefined subject matter in a patent database being for use with a set of target patents, each target patent related to the predefined subject matter, the method comprising: creating a feature space based on frequently occurring terms found in the set of target patents; creating a partition taxonomy based on a clustered configuration of the feature space; editing the partition taxonomy using domain expertise to produce an edited partition taxonomy; creating a classification taxonomy based on structured features present in the edited partition taxonomy; creating a contingency table by comparing the edited partition taxonomy and the classification taxonomy to provide entries in the contingency table; and identifying all significant relationships in the contingency table to help determine the presence of any white space.

Embodiments of the invention relate to reducing memory required to store an array of formulas and values corresponding to a formula-array. A set of formula-array representations is provided and arranged in a successive order. Each formula-array representation is evaluated for an associated memory requirement to support use thereof, followed by conversion to a structure of the formula-array representation at a successive level. Selection of the formula-array representation is determined based upon a minimal memory requirement from the formula-array representations in the order.

Object transformation of arrays of formulas and values

A method and analytics tools for information mining incorporating domain specific knowledge and conceptual structures are disclosed, the method including: providing a first set of documents related to a first topic of interest; using a first taxonomy to categorize the first set of documents into a set of categories; providing a second set of documents related to a second topic of interest; categorizing the second set of documents according to the set of categories of the first set of documents; using an element of domain knowledge to re-categorize the first set of documents; and examining a category to identify a document of interest.

Information mining using domain specific conceptual structures

A method and analytics tools for locating experts with specific sets of expertise are disclosed, the method including providing a collection of documents P; generating categories representing fields of expertise derived from the collection of documents P; refining the taxonomy of the categories by applying user domain knowledge; extracting structured fields from the collection of documents P; constructing a contingency table having a first axis defined by the extracted structured fields and a second axis defined by the categories; and using the contingency table to identify a set of experts having a related expertise. The method may also include a network graph analysis that aids visualization of the relationship between people and expertise.

A vectorization process is employed in which chemical identifier strings are converted into respective vectors. These vectors may then be searched to identify molecules that are identical or similar to each other. The dimensions of the vector space can be defined by sequences of symbols that make up the chemical identifier strings. The International Chemical Identifier (InChI) string defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is particularly well suited for these methods.

System and method for identifying similar molecules

A method, system, and article for improving performance of a Boolean combination of at least two filters to a data stream. Stream processing is applied to an expression having two or more logical operators. As the data stream is processed, efficiency of the operators in the expression is evaluated. A sort algorithm is dynamically invoked to ensure that a more efficient operator precedes processing of a less efficient operator.

Method and apparatus for self optimizing data selection

A method for use with an information (or data) warehouse comprises managing the information warehouse with instructions in a declarative language. The instructions specify information warehouse-level tasks to be done without specifying certain details of how the tasks are to be implemented, for example, using databases and text indexers. The details are hidden from the user and include, for example, in an information warehouse having a FACT table that joins two or more dimension tables, details of database level operations when structured data are being handled, including database command line utilities, database drivers, and structured query language (SQL) statements; and details of text-indexing engines when unstructured data are being handled. The information warehouse is managed in a dynamic way in which different tasks&#x2014;such as data loading tasks and information warehouse construction tasks&#x2014;may be interleaved (i.e., there is no particular order in which the different tasks must be completed).

Business information warehouse toolkit and language for warehousing simplification and automation

The present invention relates to a system, method and program product for a chemical web browser. A chemical web browser including a document system for accessing a document containing at least one chemical name is provided. A chemical annotation system identifies the at least one chemical name within the document. A chemical formulae conversion system associates a chemical structure with the identified chemical name. The chemical structure is displayed.

A method, system, and article for automated processing of a data stream are provided. Stream processing is applied to a hierarchical self describing data stream. As the data stream is processed, some elements therein are associated with a selected path expression. The selected path expressions are ordered based upon the hierarchy, and a tree structure is created that corresponds to the hierarchy. Each leaf node of the tree is associated with a logical operator or an expression to be applied to data processed from the data stream to the leaf node.

Method and apparatus for automated processing of a data stream

A data warehouse is created using an input file that can contain sub-documents of different formats. A root document model including path names to all nodes among the sub-documents is generated, and a table is generated with columns being derived from the path names of the root model. The sub-documents are shredded to populate the table. Then, the dimensions of the data warehouse are defined by selecting respective columns. A routine such as a DDL may then be generated to populate the data warehouse with data.

Method and system for creating and loading data warehouse from semi-structured document

A computer-implemented method for managing price information. Embodiments include receiving a mapping of interconnected components, identifying as a first subset components subject to a first fixed price agreement not subject to a second fixed price agreement that overlaps the first fixed price agreement, identifying as a second subset the components subject to the second fixed price agreement not subject to the first fixed price agreement, and identifying as a third subset the components subject to both the first fixed price agreement and the second fixed price agreement. The method also includes receiving a price change for a price associated with a component in one of the subsets of components, and distributing an offset of the price change to components in the other subsets of components.
