Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that uses a known set of related terms to identify additional related terms in different languages. During operation, the system receives two terms that are known to be related. The system translates these two non-synonym terms into a given language, and then adds the translations of the two related terms to a list of known related pairs.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for detecting correlations between terms. During operation, the system identifies one or more lists contained in one or more documents and identifies two terms co-occurring in the lists. The system further determines a correlation between the co-occurring terms, and places the co-occurring terms in a correlated-pair list based on the correlation.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that that uses geographic data to identify correlated geographic synonyms in search queries. A correlated geographic synonym occurs when two terms that are possible synonyms should not be considered synonyms because they are associated with related geographic context. During operation, the system receives a term and a possible synonym for the term. The system then determines whether the term and the possible synonym are both present in a geographic data set. If so, the system uses the geographic data set to determine whether the possible synonym is a correlated geographic synonym for the term.

Abstract:
Monitoring and control of electromechanical devices from a central data center. The data center may be located at a separate geographic location, using broadband communication channels, such as Internet or telecom channels, and wireless HAN (home area network) communications. Such electromechanical devices may comprise, for example, an HVAC system at a small-business or residential site, a grounds-maintenance sprinkler system, or a small wind or solar energy generation and storage station.
Abstract:
Disclosed in this specification is a method for monitoring a network, such as the central monitoring station of a medical facility. Performance data from each of the network components of interest is monitored for compliance with certain component-specific criteria. Responses are generated if the performance data satisfies, or fails to satisfy, such criteria.
