  • An Introduction to the Syntax and Content of Cyc

    AAAI Spring Symposium on Formalizing and Compiling Background Knowledge and Its Applications to Knowledge Representation and Question Answering, Stanford

    From the beginning, a primary goal of the Cyc project has been to build a large knowledge base containing a store of formalized background knowledge suitable for supporting reasoning in a variety of domains. In this paper, we will discuss the portion of Cyc technology that has been released in open source form as OpenCyc, provide examples of the content available in ResearchCyc, and discuss their utility for the future development of fully formalized knowledge bases.

  • Talking with Computers about the Future We Shall Share

    Proceedings. Twenty-Third Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference

    The time has never been more fitting than now to prepare for a future involving intelligent machines since recent advances have cleared the way for a massive effort that will finally give computers a basic understanding of our world. As computers begin to acquire "common sense" intelligence, they will be transformed from information appliances into helpers, coaches and secretaries. But the most important role for computers and people over the next 5 to 10 years will be that of strident…

    The time has never been more fitting than now to prepare for a future involving intelligent machines since recent advances have cleared the way for a massive effort that will finally give computers a basic understanding of our world. As computers begin to acquire "common sense" intelligence, they will be transformed from information appliances into helpers, coaches and secretaries. But the most important role for computers and people over the next 5 to 10 years will be that of strident. Computers and people will be partners in a dialogue to understand our world and guide it to a peaceful and prosperous future.

Patents

  • Systems and methods for the creation, update and use of models in finding and analyzing content

    Issued 10558666

    Embodiments of a search system that provides knowledge based searching of content based on a knowledge model created from the content being searched are disclosed. Embodiments of such search systems may build a model of entitles and relationships representing the collective knowledge contained in a set of content analyzed. When a search is performed on content the model may be leveraged to improve the accuracy, relevance and recall of the search.

  • Method and system for correlating social media conversations

    Issued US 10003560

    A conversation correlation system is configured to associate social signals with conversations and group the conversations into topic clusters. The topic clusters for different days are linked together to form conversation streams. The conversation streams may identify conversation topics within ecosystems and identify changes in conversation topics over time. Topic labels may be generated for the topic clusters that better describe conversation topics. In one example, the topic labels may be…

The topic clusters for different days are linked together to form conversation streams. The conversation streams may identify conversation topics within ecosystems and identify changes in conversation topics over time. Topic labels may be generated for the topic clusters that better describe conversation topics. In one example, the topic labels may be generated using a mutual information topic distribution model.

  • Method and system for temporal correlation of social signals

    Issued US 9288123

    A social analytic system may collect social signals from different social network accounts. The social signals may be associated with different ecosystems. Time series data may be generated from the social signals and the time series data may be filtered to remove at least some generic or unrelated trends. Different data sets from the time series data may be associated with different ecosystem metrics. The social analytic system may compare different filtered time series data sets to identify…

    A social analytic system may collect social signals from different social network accounts. The social signals may be associated with different ecosystems. Time series data may be generated from the social signals and the time series data may be filtered to remove at least some generic or unrelated trends. Different data sets from the time series data may be associated with different ecosystem metrics. The social analytic system may compare different filtered time series data sets to identify different ecosystem events. For example, the comparisons may be used to identify highly correlated ecosystem metrics and ecosystem anomalies, and predict ecosystem events.

  • Apparatus and method for model-based social analytics

    Issued US 9251530

    A model based social analytic system collects social signals from social network accounts for different companies and constituents. The social signals can be used to benchmark social network performance for different contextual dimensions, such as industries, companies, brands, etc. Conversations may be identified in the signals and the types of constituents participating in the conversations may be identified. Analytics can then be determined for the contextual dimensions based on the related…
