An information processing apparatus () is provided including: a lexicon generation module () operable to identify strings of characters present in a set of social media posts (); a network data generation module () operable to generate network data in which posts are associated with nodes and link data () link nodes corresponding to posts which contain similar sets of strings of characters; and a network analysis module () operable to process network data generated by the network data generation module () to determine one or more metric values for each of the nodes wherein the metric values are determined based on the patterns of connectivity defined by the link data (). The generated metric values are then utilized to select one or more posts () as posts representative of the set of media posts.

Social media analysis system

A computer system () is provided which is arranged to receive network data () identifying nodes and links between nodes. The computer system () processes the input network data () to utilise the network topology to identify nodes and links having high importance for network integrity. A report () identify the critical components can then be output.

Identifying components of a network having high importance for network integrity

An information processing apparatus () is provided comprising: a lexicon generation module () operable to process a set of documents () to identify key words () present in the documents; a link generation module () operable to generate network data () linking documents which share the same or semantically related key words identified by the lexicon generation module; and a network analysis module () operable to associate documents with metric values based upon the patterns of connectivity of the network data generated by the link generation module. The metric values associated with documents in the set can be utilized to select documents or groups of associated documents for further processing or indexing.

Document analysis system

There is described a composition comprising a therapeutically active imidazole, and derivatives thereof, and an agent active on a bacterial cell surface selected from the group consisting of one or more of colistin, nisin, D-cycloserine, fosfomycin, fosfomycin trometamol, fosfomycin disodium and polymixin B, and derivatives thereof.

Antibacterial combination therapy for the treatment of gram positive bacterial infections

A computer system () is provided which is arranged to receive network data () identifying nodes and links between nodes. The computer system () processes the input network data () to utilize the network topology to identify nodes and links having high importance for network integrity. A report () identify the critical components can then be output.

After a sample set of web pages () has been retrieved via the Internet () and stored in a web page data base () the web pages () are processed by a network analysis engine () to generate network data indicative of the interconnections between the sample web pages () as identified by hyperlinks included in the retrieved web pages (). The network analysis engine () then utilizes the generated network data to calculate for each web page () a number of network metrics indicative of the extent to which the interconnections associated with a web page () correspond to patterns of interconnections associated with web pages () published in order to manipulate the ranking of a web page () by a search engine (). These network metrics are then used to generate a numbers of ranked indexes of web pages (). A user can then submit a search query to the search engine () together with an indication of which of the rankings should be used. In response the search engine () returns a results list () based on the search query using the selected rankings. By having a variety of rankings emphasizing metrics associated with different patterns of connectivity a user is thereby able to tailor their search strategy and obtain a results list () identifying web pages of greater interest to the user.
