Stemming reduces inflected words to their stem or root form.
For example the words fishing, fished,fish, and fisher are reduced to the root word,fish,
so a search for fisher returns all the different variations
Returns only one member of a family of patents

1.20240119315METHODS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEM THROUGH LAYERED GRADIENT BOOSTING
US - 11.04.2024
Int.Class G06N 5/022
Appl.No 18530732 Applicant Towers Watson Software Limited Inventor Rachael MCNAUGHTON

A layered machine learning system for processing data. The machine learning system comprises decision trees with different depths. An iterative training process is performed on the layered machine learning system to determine the structures of the decision trees based on prior predictions. The fitted decision trees are further configured to update leaf values with a gradient boosting method. By cumulating the predictions of decisions trees in prior iterations, interaction effects are modeled among different depths within the layered machine learning system.

 Appl.No 16198679 Applicant TOWERS WATSON LTD Inventor BEARDALL MARK
A method and system are provided for controlling access to software installed on a storage device or during installation of said software. The method comprises checking parameters to determine if a user is/was entitled to install the software and determining the physical location of (part of) the software on the storage device. The method further comprises storing the determined installation-time physical location (including an installation time/date and an expiry period for allowing/denying access to the software). The method also comprises storing data confirming the software has been successfully activated. Upon launching the software, the method comprises determining the physical location of (part of) the software, and comparing the determined runtime physical location of software with the predetermined installation-time physical location. The method further comprises denying access to or preventing execution of the software where the determined runtime location and the predetermined installation-time physical location do not match.

 Appl.No 201905376 Applicant TOWERS WATSON LTD Inventor MARK BEARDALL
A method and system are provided for controlling access to data in an executable file installed on a storage device or during installation of said executable file. The method includes, upon installation checking one or more parameters against data from a license server to determine if a user is entitled to install the executable file. Determining the physical location of the executable file, or a part thereof, on a storage device, said location being the installation-time physical location. Encrypting the installation-time physical location and storing the encrypted installation-time physical location. Upon launching, determining the physical location of the executable file, or a part thereof, on a storage device, said location being the runtime physical location. Encrypting the runtime physical location and comparing the encrypted runtime physical location of the executable file with the encrypted installation-time physical location and where they do not match, denying access to the data or preventing execution of the executable file.
