20150026188 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MATHEMATICS ONTOLOGY EXTRACTION AND RESEARCH - An extensive computer based online math research system (the “Research System”) having as its foundation an Ontology of mathematics, and utilizing unique and intensive computer support, coordination, data structuring, data storage, computer processing, retrieval capabilities, and data-mining capabilities, and an Ontology editing system that runs on computer software with computer processors and data storage capabilities (the “Ontology Editor System”). The Research System also includes a methodology to enable online reference and data manipulation of the Ontology, and an Internet based search of the concepts of mathematics and applications of mathematics to the sciences on the basis of the Ontology. | 2015-01-22 |
20150026189 | INDEX STRUCTURE FOR A RELATIONAL DATABASE TABLE - Embodiments are directed to building an index structure for a relational database (RDB) table and for querying the RDB table. An aspect includes obtaining JSON documents from a RDB table, identifying JSON objects in the JSON documents and assigning identifiers for them, and building an index structure according to values in the JSON objects such that the index structure includes at least one node that records values in a JSON object and includes the identifier of the specific JSON object. Querying the RDB table includes receiving a query request including an indicator which indicates that the query is to be performed on JSON objects, and searching the index structure based on query conditions in the query request so as to determine a target JSON object that meets the query conditions. | 2015-01-22 |
20150026190 | GEO-LOCATION CUSTOM INDEXES - Apparatuses, systems, and methods for generating and utilizing custom indexes for a plurality of geo-locations are described. A plurality of indexes are generated, each corresponding to one of a plurality of geo-locations, based on spatial area subdivisions of a space including the plurality of geo-locations. A points of interest (POIs) query is received, wherein results of the query are to be limited by a distance value. One or more geo-locations are identified as POIs within the distance value from a first geo-location of the plurality of geo-locations based on the corresponding indexes of the one or more identified geo-locations. | 2015-01-22 |
20150026191 | MATCHING METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A matching apparatus sets windows within match data, the windows each having a width larger than that in a window width condition defined in a query, and further sets windows each satisfying an event condition of a window defined in the query as temporary windows. Further, the matching apparatus checks sets of temporary windows against an interval condition and outputs events included in one or more sets of temporary windows each satisfying the interval condition, as a matching result. | 2015-01-22 |
20150026192 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOPIC FILTER RECOMMENDATION FOR ONLINE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS - The technology disclosed relates to applying collaborative filtering methods to generate topic profiles or filters that can be applied to a social feed. In particular, similar users are identified based on existing topic profiles or aggregations of existing topic profiles. As the user constructs a new topic profile, the word cloud is presented that assists the user in selecting terms to include in the topic profile. Word cloud is constructed from keywords used by the similar users in their topic profiles. | 2015-01-22 |
