Abstract: A shared ledger of transactions may be used for various purposes and may be later accessed by interested parties for ledger verification. Authenticity of transactions requires active measures to ensure transaction participants including parties to the transactions, observers to the transaction, etc., are providing accurate information for each transaction. One example method of operation may include one or more of identifying a set of participants to one or more transactions, transmitting a request from an initiating participant to enable each of the set of participants to generate local numbers based on a number source, forwarding the local numbers to one or more of the set of participants before expiration of a specified time interval, receiving the local numbers at the initiating participant, and generating a final number based on the local numbers received, so that after a last participant among the set of participants has forwarded the local number, none of the set of participants can obtain the final number until after a limited amount of time.

Abstract: According to an aspect, automatically adding new concepts to a concept graph includes receiving a string of text, searching a corpus of data to locate additional text related to the string of text, and extracting concepts from the additional text. The extracted concepts include a subset of concepts in the concept graph. The adding new concepts also includes determining whether the string of text should be linked to an existing concept in the concept graph, performing the linking based on determining that the string of text should be linked to the existing concept in the concept graph and, based on determining that the string of text should not be linked to an existing concept in the concept graph, adding a new concept to the concept graph. The new concept is associated with the string of text.

Abstract: According to an aspect, searching, recommending, and exploring documents through conceptual associations includes a method for receiving a plurality of documents and extracting concepts from each of the documents. A degree of relation between each of the documents and concepts in a knowledge base is calculated. The method also includes, in response to receiving a query, determining one or more concepts from the query. For each of the concepts, a list of documents having a highest degree of relation to the concept is retrieved. The method also includes outputting a list that is responsive to the one or more retrieved lists.

Abstract: According to an aspect, automatically linking text to concepts in a knowledge base using differential analysis includes receiving a text string and selecting, based on contents of the text string, a plurality of data sources that correspond to concepts in the knowledge base. In a further aspect, automatically linking the text to the concepts includes calculating, for each of the selected data sources, a probability that the text string is output by a language model built using the selected data source, calculating a probability that the text string is output by a generic language model, calculating link confidence scores for each concept based on a differential analysis of the probabilities, and creating a link from the text string to one of the concepts in the knowledge base. The creating is based on a link confidence score of the concept being more than a threshold value away from a prescribed threshold.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for constructing a dynamic knowledge base of software usage patterns. A user action is monitored to identify one or more user action sequences. A common action sequence for the user action is identified, based on the one or more user action sequences. An instructional information resource is identified that corresponds to the common action resource, wherein the instructional information resource is accessed by the user. A database is constructed based on the common action sequence. The database organizes the common action sequences and instruction information resource. The instructional information resource is determined to be above a threshold based on the number of times the user consults the instructional information resource.

Abstract: According to an aspect, summarizing relevance of a document to a conceptual query includes receiving the conceptual query, accessing concepts extracted from the document, and computing a degree to which the conceptual query is related to each of the extracted concepts. The computing is responsive to a metric that measures a relevance between the concepts in the conceptual query and the extracted concepts. An aspect also includes creating a summary by selecting a threshold number of the concepts having a greatest degree of relation to the conceptual query, and outputting the summary including the selected threshold number of concepts.

Abstract: Historic and current development data associated with the project may be gathered. A catalog of patterns, each pattern associated with a data measure and an analysis routine capable of detecting the pattern according to the data measure in a given data set may be obtained. A pattern describes a particular indication in the historical and development data, which arises one or more of, at a discrete point in time or over a period of time. The analysis routine may be applied to the historic and current development data. A notification may be issued responsive to identifying the pattern in the historic and current development data. The applying and the issuing may be performed for each pattern in the catalog of patterns.

Abstract: According to an aspect, storing and querying conceptual indices (CIs) includes creating a conceptual inverted index (CII) from the CIs. The CII includes CII entries, each of which corresponds to a concept in a concept graph. Creating the CII includes populating each entry with pointers to documents selected from the CIs having likelihoods of being related to the concept that are greater than a threshold value, and the corresponding likelihoods. An aspect also includes receiving a query that includes a concept in the concept graph, and generating query results from a search that include at least a subset of the pointers to documents. Each of the CIs is associated with a corresponding document and includes a CI entry for each concept in the concept graph, and each of the CI entries specifies a value indicating a likelihood that the document is related to the concept in the concept graph.
