Problems solved by technology

While associative memories perform well when discovering associations and relationships between entities, they perform relatively poorly when discovering the same associations between entities and related discriminators between relations
[0004] Therefore, problems can arise when performing associative memory to discover the desired information including relevant differences between search results

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The illustrative embodiment provides several useful functions. For example, the illustrative embodiments recognize and take into account that problems may arise when performing a query of an associative memory to find desired information including relevant differences among search results. For example, a query might result in ten matches that all appear to be the same. Finding relevant differences between them is difficult.

[0024] The illustrative embodiments also recognize and take into account that associative memory techniques may compare efficiently to find similarities between entities being compared, but relatively ineffectively to find relevant differences between identical entities.

[0025] By providing systems and methods for locating a differentiator between entities that may be the same or similar when a query is performed to compare entities to each other. As used herein, the term "discriminator" means an attribute value of a given entity that is unique...

Abstract

A system (100) including an associative memory (102) comprising a plurality of data (104) and a plurality of associations among the plurality of data (106). The plurality of data (104) is collected into associated groups (108). The associative memory (102) is configured to be queried based on at least indirect relationships (110) among the plurality of data (104). The system (100) also includes an input device (114) in communication with the associative memory (102). The input device (114) is configured to receive a query (116) to compare entities (112) in the associative memory (102). The system (100) also includes a coordinator (118) in communication with the associative memory (102). The coordinator (118) is configured to compare the entities (112) to identify a similar attribute value among the entities (112). The coordinator (118) is further configured to identify a differentiator (122) among the entities (112).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to associative memories, and in particular to systems and methods for locating relevant distinguishers within an associative memory to distinguish otherwise matching outcomes. Background technique [0002] When querying an associative memory, it can be difficult to separate relevant differences between the results. For example, entities may be more different than identical. Therefore, location-related differences can be similar to finding a needle in a haystack. For example, two applicants can have resumes that show similar skills, while the rest of their resumes can be different. Relevant differences are difficult to identify. [0003] Solving this problem using associative memory may involve an undesirable search method known as "looking at the keyboard". While associative memories perform well when discovering associations and relationships between entities, they perform relatively poorly when discovering ...
