A received query is processed so as to generate an initial group of ranked documents corresponding to the received query. Each document in all or a portion of the documents in the initial group of ranked documents is associated with a respective set of ranked candidate terms such that each candidate term in the respective set of ranked candidate terms is embedded within the document. Each respective set of ranked candidate terms is identified at a time prior to the processing of the received query. In accordance with a selection function, a subset of the candidate terms in one or more of the respective sets of candidate terms is selected. In response to the received query, the initial group of ranked documents and the subset of candidate terms are presented.

The present invention provides a method and system for re-ranking search results in a patent retrieval system where the query text is derived in whole or in part from a patent claim, which may be from an existing patent or a prospective claim. The re-ranking is based on several features of the candidate patent, such as the text similarity to the claim, international patent code or other classification or subject matter relatedness or overlap, and internal citation structure of the candidates. One alternative aspect provides a re-ranker that is trained on automatically generated training data, thus obviating the expensive and time-intensive step of expert annotation.

A method is provided for automatically classifying text into categories. In operation, a plurality of tokens or features are manually or automatically associated with each category. A weight is then coupled to each feature, wherein the weight indicates a degree of association between the feature and the category. Next, a document is parsed into a plurality of unique tokens with associated counts, wherein the counts are indicative of the number of times the feature appears in the document. A category score representative of a sum of products of each feature count in the document times the corresponding feature weight in the category for each document is then computed. Next, the category scores are sorted by perspective, and a document is classified into a particular category, provided the category score exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A system remotely collects test data from a test platform using platform attached sensors. Identification chips, each having a unique identification code, are each paired with an associated sensor to form sensor/chip pairs. At least one patch panel having a plurality of connections is positioned approximate to the platform. Connections are communicatively linked to each of the sensor/chip pairs. A computer system is communicatively linked to additional patch panel connections. The identification of selected sensors is queried by a computer command to the patch panels, and a group of sensors for a given test is identified and selected. Test data from each of the selected sensors is transferred through the patch panels to the computer system for collation and generation of a test setup compatible with a data acquisition system. Test setup information is downloaded to the data acquisition system in preparation for the next test.

A method and a system for re-ranking an existing result set of documents. A user starts a search by entering search term(s). The search term(s) is (are) transferred to a search engine which generates a result set ranked by the search term(s). The search engine, in parallel, automatically retrieves context information from returned result set which is related to the original set of documents. The search engine presents the context information to the user and asks for a feedback. The user performs a weighting of the presented context information in a range from “important” to “non-important”. The result set is then re-ranked with the user-weighted context information to increase the “rank distance” of important and non important documents. The documents that are on top of the list (highest context-weighted ranking value) represent the desired information.

The invention provides a highly-reliable face collation apparatus and biometrics data collation apparatus in both of which when a person is to be identified, even at the time of a collation in which characteristic data on the person approximates to characteristic data on one of the other persons, the characteristic data are comprehensively collated by combination, whereby the person and the other person can be clearly discriminated from each other to reduce collation errors. The face collation apparatus includes a face image acquiring unit for acquiring face images, a storage unit in which a plurality of different face images on each of persons who are collation targets are stored in advance in such a manner as to be associated with each of the persons, a calculating unit for calculating collation degree data obtained by comparing the acquired face images with the stored face images, an extracting unit for extracting face images of high collation degrees by a predetermined number from among the calculated collation degree data, and an identifying unit for identifying a person when all face images of the person are contained in results extracted by the extracting unit.

A static code analysis (SCA) tool, apparatus and method detects, prioritizes and fixes security defects and compliance violations in SAP® ABAP™ code. The code, meta information and computer system configuration settings are transformed into an interchangeable format, and parsed into an execution model. A rules engine is applied to the execution model to identify security and compliance violations. The rules engine may include information about critical database tables and critical SAP standard functions, and the step of applying the rules engine to the execution model may include the calculation of specific business risks or whether a technical defect has a business-relevant impact. In particular, an asset flow analysis may be used to determine whether critical business data is no longer protected by the computer system. Such critical business data may include credit or debit card numbers, financial data or personal data.

In a search system, document terms are weighted as a function of prevalence in a data set, the documents are scored as a function of prevalence and weight of the document terms contained therein, and then independently, the documents are ranked for a given search as a function of (a) their corresponding document scores and (b) the closeness of the search terms and the document terms. The steps can all be accomplished using matrices. Subsets of the documents can be identified with various collections, and each of the collections can be assigned a matrix signature. The signatures can then be compared against terms in the search query to determine which of the subsets would be most useful for a given search.

An iris authentication apparatus includes an iris area extraction unit, registration pattern generating unit, collation pattern generating unit, and collation unit. The iris area extraction unit extracts iris areas from a sensed registration eyeball image and a sensed collation eyeball image. When the iris area extraction unit extracts an iris area from the registration eyeball image, the registration pattern generating unit generates a registration iris pattern image by performing polar coordinate transformation of an image in the extracted iris area. When the iris area extraction unit extracts an iris area from the collation eyeball image, the collation pattern generating unit generates a collation iris pattern image by performing polar coordinate transformation of an image in the extracted iris area. The collation unit collates the registration iris pattern image output from the registration pattern generating unit and the collation iris pattern image output from the collation pattern generating unit on the basis of a correlation therebetween.
