The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that updates a context that facilitates evaluating qualitative search terms for an attribute during query processing. During operation, the system extracts a value for the attribute from each data item. Next, the system updates the context based on the extracted attribute values, wherein the context includes a concept-mapping for one or more qualitative search terms applied to the attribute, and wherein each concept-mapping associates a given attribute value with a compatibility index that indicates a compatibility between the given attribute value and a corresponding qualitative search term.

Class specific query processing

The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that facilitates performing searches based on qualitative search terms. During operation, the system receives a query that applies a qualitative search term to an attribute of data items in a set of data items. While executing the query, the system processes each data item in the set of data items by extracting an attribute value from the data item and then using a concept-mapping to determine a compatibility index for the attribute value, wherein the concept-mapping associates each attribute value with a numerical compatibility index that indicates a compatibility between the attribute value and the qualitative search term. Finally, the system uses the compatibility index as a factor in determining whether to include the data item in a set of query results.

Using aggregate compatibility indices to identify query results for queries having qualitative search terms

The present design is directed to a system for measuring values qualitatively across a terrain including multiple dimensions using cognitive computing techniques, comprising a plurality of event reception components configured to operate on each event in a stream relevant to the terrain, the plurality of event reception components including a threshold application component configured to apply a threshold to each element in the stream, a terrain updater configured to update the terrain based on at least one event, an outlier analysis module configured to determine any outlier in the stream of events, a threshold violation predictor configured to predict threshold violations based on the stream of events, a time-ordered behavior evaluator configured to evaluate behavior based on the stream of events, and a graph updater to update a graph based on the stream of events.

Cognitive modeling apparatus for assessing values qualitatively across a multiple dimension terrain

The present design is directed to a cognitive system including a receiver configured to receive a set of actors and associated actor information and receive assets and their associated asset information, a creation apparatus configured to create data dictionary entries for a taxonomy based on the set of actors and the assets and create a cognitive model using the data dictionary entries for a time period, and a computing apparatus configured to compute trust of the cognitive model as a fuzzy number and activate the cognitive model if trust of the cognitive model is above a cognitive model trust threshold. When the cognitive model is activated, the cognitive modeling system is configured to schedule a collection of tasks to run that perform regular extraction of actions from an original data source and perform at least one anomaly analysis associated with the cognitive model.

Class specific context aware query processing

The present design is directed to a system for detecting and adjusting qualitative contexts across multiple dimensions for multiple actors with cognitive computing techniques including a series of periodic execution components configured to operate over full or partial sets of received data, the series of periodic components comprising a peer to peer analyzer configured to detect anomalous behaviors among work-specific peer actors sharing similar types tasks, an actor behavior analyzer configured to examine change in an actor's behavior over time by comparing the similarity of past behavior and current behavior, a rate of change predictor configured to study changes in behavior over time for peer to peer performance according to the peer to peer analyzer, actor behavior change according to the actor behavior analyzer, and actor correlation analysis, and a semantic rule analyzer configured to encode conditional, provisional, cognitive, operational, and functional knowledge, and a plurality of signal managers.
