Computer users often input data into a computer that gets stored in a structured format. Many software applications store data in a structured format. Structured data gets is usually stored in various fields and tables in a database in ways that enable analysis, reporting, and examination of the data in various ways. Unstructured data is commonly created by users as well, such as documents and other information that allow the user to type information in a free-form fashion. A word processing document is an example of a typical unstructured data format that many users create. The document can contain various sections that the user defines, in no particular order, and with no particular consistency between different documents.
Analyzing information contained in unstructured documents in a meaningful way can be quite a complex task for organizations. For example, if hundreds of documents are on a user's computer or file server, it is quite difficult for the user to run a report against those documents to analyze the content of the documents in more meaningful ways.
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for text based schema discovery and information extraction. A database schema is created from unstructured documents. A document is accessed, and information is extracted from the document using text mining. The extracted information is analyzed to identify sections of the document. Statistics are stored regarding an occurrence of items in the document. The accessing, extracting, analyzing, and storing steps are repeated for a plurality of documents. A probabilistic model is created based on the stored statistics. A database schema is then created using the probabilistic model.
In another implementation, a method is described for mapping information extracted from a document to database tables according to a probabilistic model. A document is accessed, and information is extracted from the document using text mining. The extracted information is analyzed against a probabilistic model to determine how the extracted information maps to tables in a database. The tables are populated with one or more portions of the extracted information based upon a result of the analyzing step. Further analysis can then be performed against the data in the tables once the tables are populated.
This Summary was provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
The technologies and techniques herein may be described in the general context as an application that programmatically discovers schemas from text based documents and imports information from the documents according to the schemas, but the technologies and techniques also serve other purposes in addition to these. In one implementation, one or more of the techniques described herein can be implemented as features within a database program such as MICROSOFT� SQL Server, or from any other type of program or service that manages data from various sources.
In one implementation, a database schema is automatically created from analyzing various details contained in unstructured text documents. A database utilizing the database schema is then populated based upon the analysis of the unstructured text documents. Once in the database, an end user can then analyze the data in various ways, such as by utilizing online analytical processing (OLAP) cubes, running reports against the data, using data mining or other techniques to better understand the data. Thus, various documents that were once stored in an unstructured text format can now be analyzed in more meaningful ways as a group, and also individually.
To infer the database schema, a corpus of similar documents is analyzed. In the example shown in
In one implementation, field data is generally inferred by location, format, and labels that are common throughout a corpus. Some examples of field data are: Title, Address (and parts thereof), ID, Date, Author, or Recipient. In one implementation, section data is inferred by document structure, format, and repetition throughout documents. For example, upon analyzing a set of patent documents such as this one, system 100 could infer a Background, Abstract, and Detailed Description section. From section data, system 100 could infer section existence, section title, section text, section terms, and/or section items (terms that appear in fields in other documents).
In one implementation, items like section terms and list data (explained in more detail later) create additional transactional tables in the schema.
In one implementation, terms that appear in free text and are field values are separated into their own tables relating the field to the document and potentially the section that the term appears. This allows queries for documents referring to specific field values.
Dates have special analytical properties can be stored in a separate table similar to that of field terms, allowing for queries that find all documents referring to events within a date range. List data generally appears in a section and contains repetitive parts such as previous occupations in resumes or quoted references in essays or technical documents. Lists can generally be inferred by format or structure (e.g. a repetitive series of items on separate adjacent lines or bulleted or numbered text items).
Occasionally, lists can be found without a clear demarcation or fields. For example, some lists are non-demarcated free text. In this case, system 100 would determine if "Approach" sections in multiple documents commonly had non-demarcated free text lists and impute that such a list is an object. In this case, the "Approach" list table would contain the item title, free text, plus additional tables for terms, etc.
In scenarios where the documents contain similarly labeled and structured tables, than system 100 can incorporate the descriptions of those tables into the database schema.
An overall database schema can then be inferred from these various techniques introduced herein. For example, analysis of a corpus of resumes would determine that documents typically have a name, address, phone number, objective, plus lists of educational achievements and previous occupations, each with their own fields. Additionally, appearance of terms in free text areas of a document and field data provides information. When the system encounters the term "Cornell University" in free text, for example, it can determine that the free text concerns an educational institution because "Cornell University" also appears in the "Name" field of an object in the "Education" section. Note that machine learning techniques are generally probabilistic models, therefore such an assertion would have an associated probability of being true. The system may determine that "Cornell University" has a 70% chance of being an educational institution and a 20% chance of being an employer, with the other 10% being simply non-related.
In one implementation, with system 100, a user could determine the trend in applications from individuals with software engineering experience and degrees in non-CS or math fields from Ivy League universities. Furthermore, from that list, the user could find all current employees with resumes on file that previously worked at the same employer during the same time span.
In one implementation, system 100 basically operates in two sections. First, a process (describe in
Turning now to
If the document just processed was the last document (decision point 210), then a probabilistic model is generated using aggregated statistics that were gathered and stored from all the documents analyzed (stage 212). The term "probabilistic model" as used herein is meant to include machine learning algorithms that derive probabilistic inferences from data, such as decision trees, clustering, neural networks, Bayesian models, and other techniques. The user can optionally provide input to review and/or approve the probabilistic model (stage 214). The user review process is described in further detail in
Input can be received from the user to accept the model, or the model can be accepted automatically (stage 256). Once the probabilistic model is accepted (by the user or automatically), then the structures for the analytical objects are created based upon the discovered schema (stage 258). In one implementation, one or more types of structures for analytical objects are created. For example, an OLAP cube structure can be generated for later use through standard OLAP analysis techniques. The structure of interactive reports with drill-down capability to the source documents can be generated. Such interactive reports can include a document outline of what an average document looks like, field reports, top terms/section, and/or date based reports depending on the schema, to name a few non-limiting examples. The structure of one or more mining models can be created, such as those that include term association by document or section, link analysis, cluster analysis, and/or predictive models. These analytical objects are described in further detail in
Once the database schema and/or analytical objects are created based upon the probabilistic model, then data can be populated in the database tables from the source documents. The analytical objects can now be populated with the actual data as well.
A few practical examples of the aforementioned techniques will now be described for further illustration. Term association 388 can be performed to associate related terms. For example, extending the "Cornell University" example above, the system can find common terms that appear to have multiple behaviors, e.g. how many "Employees" are also "Customers" simply by the way their names are used in context. Link analysis 390 can be performed via contextual, field, or list based relationships. For example, the user can find documents that reference "Cornell University", find a common topic in them (e.g. "Particle Acceleration"), and then link to other research organizations that are partnering with Cornell on Particle Acceleration. An even simpler implementation would be akin to a patent reference graph. Reading a set of patent documents, the references can be diagrammed to find a core set of patents even if those patents are not included in the corpus, because the items in the reference list can be identified as containing document identifiers.
As shown in
Additionally, device 500 may also have additional features/functionality. For example, device 500 may also include additional storage (removable and/or non-removable) including, but not limited to, magnetic or optical disks or tape. Such additional storage is illustrated in
Computing device 500 includes one or more communication connections 514 that allow computing device 500 to communicate with other computers/applications 515. Device 500 may also have input device(s) 512 such as keyboard, mouse, pen, voice input device, touch input device, etc. Output device(s) 511 such as a display, speakers, printer, etc. may also be included. These devices are well known in the art and need not be discussed at length here.
Although the subject matter has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that the subject matter defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features or acts described above. Rather, the specific features and acts described above are disclosed as example forms of implementing the claims. All equivalents, changes, and modifications that come within the spirit of the implementations as described herein and/or by the following claims are desired to be protected.
For example, a person of ordinary skill in the computer software art will recognize that the examples discussed herein could be organized differently on one or more computers to include fewer or additional options or features than as portrayed in the examples.

I am currently trying to retrofit a database with Doctrine, but in the current implementation, not many bi-directional relationships exist between the table. This makes it difficult to traverse the object graph from any given entity.
Let's say I want to be able to start at any given point and traverse the entire object graph. From reading the documentation, I can:
1) Rebuild the database with bi-directional relationship fields so that I can traverse using properly set-up Association Mapping
2) Create custom repositories and fetch by passing in various entities
I'm apprehensive to create bi-directional relationships everywhere, but at the same time, creating many custom repositories give me a bad feeling. What is the rule of thumb when deciding to use associative mapping vs repositories? Is there any performance advantages from one or the other?

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Federal funding will help meet critical state and local needs
For Immediate ReleaseContact: Jean West, 502-564-6786, ext. 3465, or Anya Armes Weber, ext. 3104
FRANKFORT, Ky. (July 15, 2016) – The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) announced today that Kentucky has received more than $6 million in AmeriCorps federal funding for 19 programs with more than 1,000 members.
Most of the programs were funded through an annual grant competition by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), a federal agency that engages Americans of all ages in service. The remaining programs are funded through formula grant funds that are allocated to Kentucky by CNCS based on state population.
AmeriCorps is a national service program administered by the Kentucky Commission on Community Volunteerism and Service (KCCVS) in the CHFS. AmeriCorps grants are awarded to eligible organizations proposing to engage AmeriCorps members in evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions to strengthen communities. Members serve faith-based and nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, local government entities and state agencies. CHFS Secretary Vickie Yates Brown Glisson said the grants will help address critical issues across the commonwealth – like teaching and tutoring students, combatting homelessness, providing drug resistance education, protecting environmental resources, serving veterans and military families, empowering victims of domestic violence and assisting low-income senior citizens.
"Service builds our workforce, it builds our community resources and it builds character," Sec. Glisson said. "National service also builds partnerships that help make our Commonwealth stronger. Through these AmeriCorps grants, local citizens are addressing local needs."
Glisson said that including additional local funding and educational grants, AmeriCorps programs will result in a $15.3 million investment in Kentucky.

- Baker Hughes (BHI -10.2%) CEO Martin Craighead says during this morning's earnings conference call that oil prices below $75/bbl for a few months may cause energy companies to pull back spending on exploration and production.
- But BHI customers don't believe oil prices will stay low, the CEO says, adding that "the returns are still quite attractive... right now, it's full steam ahead."
- Craighead says BHI is on pace to deliver solid results in Q4, deepwater projects are moving forward, and customers spending should remain stable.
- T. Boone Pickens, among others, have said $80 U.S. oil for a quarter would cause E&P companies to reassess; West Texas crude fell below $80 this morning for the first time since June 2012, and now trades at ~$81.
- Schlumberger (SLB -0.6%), the no. 1 supplier of oilfield services, is scheduled to release quarterly results after today's close.

When you're in the business/professional world, social skills sign your checks, so this is an essential read for career-oriented people who are a little shy or are rusty at communicating. Not knowing how to make diplomatic small talk in this world is like showing up to work everyday wearing a HITLER WAS FRAMED t-shirt. The people who have natural social skills don't appreciate the fact that good social skills are taught. They're taught by parents, they're taught by friends, and some people just have to teach themselves. This book is pretty damn good for those people.
This book helped me so much in understanding how to hold a conversation with people. Leil Lowndes is a great writer and she really udnerstands what it takes to become more confident in your conversation and in yourself as a person.
Could you use this to be phony and superficial? Yup, but that's up to your personality and what you wish to take from this book. I decided to use this to be able to understand how to hold conversations with people and know how to create relationships. I used this one technique called the flooding smile and that as well as a few other techniques from this book and I'm now dating this beautiful girl and have a few new friends who are positive and make me feel good about myself. I bought this and the other books by Leil Lowndes. I'd definitely consider this book as one of my Meccas as well as a few other books.
The five top tricks that I want to remember are: look at someone for a moment before breaking into a smile (to make them feel that the smile is a response to them in particular, rather than something that's always pasted on your face); hang by your teeth posture (it seems like a good way to remember what good posture is supposed to look like); match the energy level of your conversation partner; when asked where you're from or what you do, give some story to make it interesting rather than merely giving a naked city or job; regularly scramble your life (do something you'd never dream of doing, to get a broad base of experiences that will give you something in common with a larger number of people).
For instance, the publisher's blurb on this site brags that the book shows you "7 ways to establish deep subliminal rapport with anyone". What they don't specify is that the author only shows you tricks to SIMULATE rapport with that person. This book is mostly about creating a complex, flexible illusion.
Although the author had many useful tips (I made myself a list of the 19 excellent tips I want to remember and incorporate into my own life) and her writing was very entertaining, I found myself thinking - "I'm glad she's not my friend. She may be a cool cat and a charmer, but she's also plastic."
So I'm giving the book a mixed review. Be aware of why you are buying it. If you want tips on how to network (a necessity for many people to succeed in their field), this book is probably nothing short of brilliant. She's keenly observant and gifted with the ability to analyze behavior and articulate it in an easy to understand manner.Read more ›

this turned out very bland,eor our taste, and i realized afterwards that there were no onions, and that the spinach was thawed, but not cooked. i baked this for 45 minutes but the spinach still had a raw taste. i reheated a portion in the microwave and added some tarragon, cayenne pepper and salt and it made a big difference in the flavor and texture. i also used freshly grated gruyere instead of cheddar.
With the addition of some sauteed onions, this recipe is just like one I've made many times from the Moosewood Cookbook. As another reviewer stated, the flavors are not strong in this one, but it's a combination that we enjoy very much at our house. I would have posted this myself, but am happy to give it a good review instead!

Introducing SOAP
SOAP heralds the beginning of a new type of distributed Internet application, namely one that can perform remote procedure calls across operating systems and programming languages. No longer does RPC have to be a proprietary, difficult to-understand or difficult-to-invoke process; in the course of an afternoon, you can create a simple distributed application. Just what this means for the future of the Web and the Internet is a good question, but already some are claiming that desktop applications will increasingly be GUI shells that send SOAP requests to centralized servers. Regardless of what the future may bring, the fact that Perl and other free languages can use SOAP means that we will soon be able to communicate more easily than ever. And hey, isn't that the whole point of the Internet?

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

|Need Help??
perlJourney has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am hoping I can gain an insight to a problem I am having. I am new to Perl and I am trying to write a code snippet that will allow me to list the directory contents of a directory that is specified taking user input. What I am intending to do is take the user input, place it in a variable and then pass that variable along to chdir and such but it will not change the directory. If I hardcode the directory into the variable ($dir = /etc) then it works fine. This is what I have so far in terms of code... can someone please show me what would work?

How to understand building and planning regulations
What are planning and building controls? Why do they exist? Can you deal with them yourself or is it best to ask a specialist? As with any task, you can decide for yourself when you know exactly what's involved.
First of all, it's important to understand what planning and building regulations are. It's easy to think of them as restrictive, bureaucratic tools put in place purely to thwart your ambitions. However, they're essential safety mechanisms which have been designed to protect you, your neighbours and the local environment.
The regulatory bodies will give you permission to carry out your plans unless there are very good reasons not to - in which case they must explain their decision. And if you disagree, you have the right to appeal against it.

Recitementby Stephen Emmer
During the late 20th century, spoken word recordings -- especially those with musical accompaniment -- had become somewhat commonplace. Some, like the Bill Laswell-Paul Bowles collaboration, Baptism of Solitude, worked wonderfully, by placing the author's often startlingly strange stories in the context of Laswell's dubby ambient exotica. Of course, there were "other" recordings of this type too, far too numerous to mention and they shall remain unnamed so as not to remind the reader of their tedium and pretensions. Nearly a decade into the 21st century, composer Stephen Emmer offers his own unusual project combining spoken word texts with music. Emmer is best known as a television composer for Dutch TV, whose scores and jingles have graced countless programs, music library sounds, public service announcements, and jingles. Recitement, issued by Austria's Supertrack imprint, is something else altogether. Produced, composed and conceived by Emmer, and mixed by Tony Visconti, this recording sets to Emmer's music texts by everyone from Yoko Ono, the late Allen Ginsberg, travel writer Paul Theroux, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Thomas Hardy, Kurt Schwitters, Jorge Luis Borges, Ken Nordine, Charles Baudelaire, Samuel Beckett, and more. They are recited sometimes by their authors, via new or previously issued taped recordings, or by the voices of actors such as Richard Burton, Sylvia Kristel, Michael Parkinson, Hugo Claus, and rocker Lou Reed to name a few. The set begins with Ono vocalizing her own "Listen, the Snow Is Falling, Pt. 1" to her own composition (an anomaly) which was arranged by Emmer and performed by multi-instrumentalist Kazu Makino. Ono is recontextualized inside her own original context, all the while while retaining her voice; thus her text is expanded. This is followed by Theroux's famous "Passengers," as read by Reed, with original music by Emmer and performed on keyboards and a nearly static drum kit and percussion by Berend Dubbe and Sonja Van Hamel. Burton's voice is caught on tape reading Manley Hopkins' "The Leaden Echo," with strings, loops, sampled choirs, acoustics, and keyboards by Maja Roodvedlt, complete with sonic effects on Burton's voice (to which he no doubt would have objected). And so it goes, even into tongues other than English in the examples of texts by Borges and Schwitters (reciting their own works), or Kristel reading Baudelaire. The disaster potential for an album like this is high, but thanks to Emmer's utterly intuitive and spacious musical vision, it all flows together nearly organically. The listener is dislocated but not in an irritating manner. Instead, it feels as if this is a rich travelogue of poetry, prose, and sound is capable of transporting one into the realm of the narrator's description. Recitement is a welcome and luxuriant surprise.

I'm glad to see that they are planning ahead and getting millions of bullets to kill looters/loosers and food to feed the good.
I would be worried if they didn't have a plan for a mass emergency with Yellowstones Super Volcano, The Ring of Fire up the West, New Madrid Faul, Terrorism threats, Tsunami's, Hurricanes, whatever.
Mass deaths are around the corner everywhere. We should follow the governments lead and stock up on food and ammo as well!

Yeah, and the roving hoards of the desperate and hungry will target the only house on the block with a generator in the backyard. "Look! He must have food and water, his lights are on! Let's get em!!"
When the food, water and all services are shut-off and your chronic disease medications that keep the wifey and children alive are no longer available, Being "GOOD" becomes subjectively RELATIVE....even to the most civilised.
