Forecasting A Volume Associated With An Outcome Based On Analysis Of Text Strings,
February 17, 2009
A method and a device are provided for forecasting a volume associated with an outcome. A determination is made with respect to whether n-grams associated with a group of predictors matches n-grams included in records of data. A probability is estimated with respect to each of the records of data being associated with the outcome based on a value assigned to a respective one of the group of predictors when the n-gram associated with the respective one of the group of predictors is determined to match the n-gram included in a respective one of the records of data. An estimate of the volume associated with the outcome is calculated based on the estimated probabilities.
Protection against flooding of a server,
December 9, 2008
A server on a packet network is protected from attack by flooding SYN messages that request a connection by comparing the number of SYN messages received within a preselected time interval N, where N is a number SYN messages within said preselected time that, with a predetermined probability, can be considered to be bona fide. When the number of received SYN messages within the preselected time interval is greater than N, corrective action is taken, such as discarding all SYN messages above the received N messages.
Subscription-based priority interactive help services on the internet,
July 22, 2008
The present invention includes a method and apparatus for providing an e-help service over a network. The e-help service provides one or more action sequences, i.e., recommended courses of action, for specialized circumstances over a network, such as an Internet Protocol network. Subscribers subscribe to specific application areas, such as one or more application areas related to a subscriber's industry. The e-help service provider maintains information pertaining to application areas in one or more databases. When a user activates the e-help service, information corresponding to the present conditions of the user's circumstance is transmitted to the e-help service provider. The e-help service provider identifies one or more action sequences based upon a statistical analysis of the information received from the user and information stored in a database corresponding to the application area of the user. The action sequences having a high probability of success are transmitted to the user and provide one or more recommended courses of action.
Forecasting outcomes based on analysis of text strings,
January 29, 2008
A method and a processing device are provided for forecasting whether a record of data for an individual is associated with an outcome. Whether an n-gram associated with one of a group of predictors matches an n-gram included in the record of data is determined. When the n-gram included with the one of the group of predictors matches the n-gram in the record of data, a prediction is made as to whether the record of data is associated with the outcome based on a value assigned to the one of the group of predictors.
