73 results about "Federated search" patented technology

Federated search is an information retrieval technology that allows the simultaneous search of multiple searchable resources. A user makes a single query request which is distributed to the search engines, databases or other query engines participating in the federation. The federated search then aggregates the results that are received from the search engines for presentation to the user. Federated search can be used to integrate disparate information resources within a single large organization ("enterprise") or for the entire web.

Structured contextual clustering method and system in a federated search engine

A federated search engine groups search results from information sources using attributes of the search results. In grouping the search results, a first set and a second set of attributes are extracted from content in each set of search results received using information source wrappers. The first set of attributes defines a main clustering strategy, and the second set of attributes defines a sub-clustering strategy. A main grouping of the sets of search results received from the information sources is generated using the first set of attributes. The main grouping of search results includes a plurality of labeled groups with a plurality of search results in each group. A sub-grouping of search results is generated for each labeled group of search results in the main grouping of search results using the second set of attributes.

Joint search method for UAV multiobjective path planning in urban low altitude environment

A joint search method for UAV multiobjective path planning in an urban low altitude environment first constructs a static safety index map based on static known obstacles. Meanwhile, based on proactively detected obstacles that are not marked on a geographic map by a UAV, the method constructs online a dynamic safety index map. Second, a multiobjective path planning problem is solved using a joint offline and online search method. Moreover, this method first plans offline the least cost path from a starting point to an end point and then invokes the online search scheme to replan online a changed path when the UAV detects unknown obstacles. Thus, the UAV can avoid dynamic obstacles effectively. The online search scheme has a small search space and can quickly replan a safe path for the UAV, thus satisfying the requirement of UAV on the real-time path planning.

System, method, and service for managing persistent federated folders within a federated content management system

A persistent federated folder within a federated content management system saves the result of a search or selection of items stored in various heterogeneous datastores. The federated folder can be used to save federated search results, to act as a container in a workflow process, or a container for a set of documents or folders with similar characteristics. The search result may be shared by several application programs without performing a separate search for each application. The federated folder and its associated storage structure have the capability to save its instances persistently. The federated folder operations can selectively create, retrieve, update, and / or delete an instance of a federated folder in addition to adding, retrieving updating and deleting its parts and its members. Seamless integration with the federated query is provided to operate on the federated folder transparently regardless of the locality of the user or the datastores the user is searching.

System and method for federated searching

A method and system for federated searching that includes receiving a user query a first location, extracting terms from the user query, assigning the query a ranking based on the terms, sending the user query to a second location for resolution if the ranking of the query meets a predetermined threshold, and receiving a response from the second location. The user query is parsed, normalized and ranked to determine if terms in the user query are relevant to the search facility of the second location. In order to make that ranking determination, data representative of the goods or services provided by the second location is provided to the first location by the second location. A data structure is built to allow an original value provided by the second location and the slot wherein the original value is expected to be indexed by all possible values for the original value by determining substantially all possible values for the original value. Relevant synsets are determined for the data, wherein terms within the synsets are associated to a term that was provided by the second location, and wherein a class of the data is preserved.

Affectedness scoring engine for cyber threat intelligence services

A network-accessible cyber-threat security analytics service is configured to characterize and respond to a description that includes threat indicators (e.g., IOCs), and an initial severity. Enterprises register with the service by providing identifying information, such as industry, geographies, and the like. For each threat indicator, a query is sent to each of a set of one or more security knowledge bases, and at least some of the queries are scoped by the enterprise industry / geo information specified. The knowledge bases may vary but typically include: a managed security service, a cyber threat intelligence service, and a federated search engine that searches across one or more enterprise-connected data sources. Responses to the queries are collected. A response provides an indication whether the threat indicator identified in the query has been sighted in the knowledge base and the frequency. The system then adjusts the initial severity to reflect the indications returned from querying the security knowledge bases.
