The search system uses the type table to speed up the process of identifying the search results when the query includes a non-type query triple and a type query triple. A type query triple is a triple that has a type predicate, rather than a non-type predicate. To execute a query that contains a non-type query triple and a type query triple, the search system identifies the triples of the collection that match the non-type query triple. The search system then uses the type table to determine which of the identified triples match the type query triple for inclusion in the search results. | 2013-12-26 |
20130346446 | PARALLEL PROCESSING OF CONTINUOUS QUERIES ON DATA STREAMS - A continuous query parallel engine on data streams provides scalability and increases the throughput by the addition of new nodes. The parallel processing can be applied to data stream processing and complex events processing. The continuous query parallel engine receives the query to be deployed and splits the original query into subqueries, obtaining at least one subquery; each subquery is executed in at least in one node. Tuples produced by each operator of each subquery are labeled with timestamps. A load balancer is interposed at the output of each node that executes each one of the instances of the source subquery and an input merger is interposed in each node that executes each one of the instances of a destination subquery. After checks are performed, further load balancers or input managers may be added. | 2013-12-26 |
20130346447 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BEHAVIORAL PATTERN MINING - Methods and systems of performing data mining may include receiving a plurality of web log records and a plurality of call log records; associating one or more web log records with a call log record, wherein the associated user for each of the associated one or more web log records and the call log record are the same; identifying one or more patterns among the web log records for the plurality of call log records, wherein each pattern comprises one or more web accesses, a time stamp at which each of the one or more web accesses is performed and the call topic for the call log record; identifying one or more web log records associated with a new call, and predicting a call topic for the new call based on at least one pattern and the one or more web log records. | 2013-12-26 |
