An artificial neural network (ANN) determines a conversation snippet sentiment score based on content of the conversation snippet and contextual attributes associated with the conversation snippet. Contextual attributes may include, for example, a role within an organizational hierarchy of a user participating in the conversation snippet. Information representing the content is input into a hidden layer sequence of the ANN; information representing the contextual attributes is input into another hidden layer sequence of the ANN. Additionally or alternatively, a weighing engine determines a topical sentiment score by aggregating weighted conversation snippet sentiment scores. Weights to be applied to the conversation snippet sentiment scores may be determined based on, for example, a proportion of conversation snippets associated with the same topic that are conducted on a particular conversation channel as compared with other conversation channels, and respective roles of users participating in the conversation snippets conducted on the particular conversation channel.

Using neural network and score weighing to incorporate contextual data in sentiment analysis

A technique for effecting electronic commerce using a data network is described. The data network includes a plurality of subsystems which, together, form an integrated system for receiving customer orders for selected items via a data network, fulfilling the customer orders, and delivering the ordered products to the customers. Moreover, according to a specific embodiment, the integrated nature of the system architecture of the present invention allows the on-line merchant to provide a guarantee to the customer that the ordered items will be available to be delivered to the customer at the specified delivery date, time, and location.

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for managing catalog information that can include tracking and reporting search terms used for catalog items searches. According to one embodiment, a procurement application can maintain a log of unique search phrases which returned no search results. For example, the log can maintain records from a specific time period. A count can be maintained to capture how many times a phrase was used for search within the specific time period, and used to rank the frequency of the search phrases. Search phrases that exceed that time period may be purged. The accumulated counts and associated search terms can be provided to the managers periodically and/or upon request in the form of a summary or other graphical and/or textual report or presentation.

Catalog performance and integrity analysis

Techniques for aiding individuals in managing work activities. In one set of embodiments, information about work activities for an individual is received from a plurality of different business applications. The work activities relate to business transactions facilitated by the plurality of different business applications. Calendar entries are then generated for each work activity based on the received information, and presented in a calendar of the individual. In various embodiments, the calendar entries are generated automatically (i.e., without human intervention). By focusing on the time sequence in which work activities should be addressed, embodiments of the present invention enable individuals to quickly and efficiently prioritize and carry out their pending work activities, thereby improving the operational efficiency of an enterprise.

One embodiment of the invention includes a computer-implemented method for supplier update of a procurement system. The method includes providing a customizable procurement entity to a supplier, receiving a modified procurement entity from the supplier, wherein the modified procurement entity comprises an update made by the supplier to the customizable procurement entity, reviewing and approving the modified procurement entity, and publishing the modified procurement entity to the procurement system.

Enhanced supplier catalog collaboration

Computer implemented methods and apparatus for determining availability information for a first one of a plurality of products for publication via a wide area network. The availability information is calculated with reference to a delivery date, an available number of units, and a reserved number of units, the delivery date having been specified by a user via the network, the available number of units having been determined with reference to inventory information, and the reserved number of units having been determined with reference to current order information.
