The present invention provides a system comprising a neurosynaptic processing device including multiple neurosynaptic core circuits for parallel processing, and a serial processing device including at least one processor core for serial processing. Each neurosynaptic core circuit comprises multiple electronic neurons interconnected with multiple electronic axons via a plurality of synapse devices. The system further comprises an interconnect circuit for coupling the neurosynaptic processing device with the serial processing device. The interconnect circuit enables the exchange of data packets between the neurosynaptic processing device and the serial processing device.

Coupling parallel event-driven computation with serial computation

Embodiments of the invention relate to spike tagging for a neural network. One embodiment comprises a neural network including multiple electronic neurons and a plurality of weighted synaptic connections interconnecting the neurons. An originating neuron of the neural network generates a spike event and a message tag that includes information relating to said originating neuron. A neuron of the neural network receives a spike event and a message tag from an interconnected neuron. In response to one or more received spike events, a receiving neuron spikes and sends a message tag selected from received message tags to an interconnected neuron.

Spike tagging for debugging, querying, and causal analysis

Techniques are disclosed for bridging terminology differences between at least two subject areas. By way of example, a computer-implemented method includes executing the following steps on a computer. A first affinity measure is computed between a first term in a first corpus, corresponding to a first subject area, and a bridge term. A second affinity measure is computed between a second term in a second corpus, corresponding to a second subject area, and the bridge term. A third affinity measure is computed between the first term and the second term based on the first affinity measure and the second affinity measure. The bridge term is a term that appears in both the first corpus and the second corpus.

Information extraction across multiple expertise-specific subject areas

A policy-based resource management system provides an infrastructure that uses high-level definitions of data-types along with desired policy rules to manage legacy data. In particular, relevant legacy data is identified as well as the characteristics of storage devices where the legacy data resides. The storage management system determines what if any of the legacy data is stored in a manner that is non-compliant with the policy rules and corrects any violations. It generates corrective action plans, and then uses existing data migration software to migrate the data. Accordingly, the legacy data may be managed in a policy-based manner without requiring typical storage management software.

Policy based resource management for legacy data

A system enables a user to query for key words and phrases a text document, such as a presentation slide file, and an associated audio stream, such as can be derived from an audio-video recording that is made of a presenter contemporaneously with the showing of the slides to an audience. A graphical user interface is presented in which query results for both the text document and the audio stream are displayed in a time-aligned format, to enable a user to easily and conveniently browse the text document and accompanying time-aligned audio stream based on the key words/phrases.
