The link to the patent is here.
Fuzzy Tagging Method and Apparatus
A computer-implemented method of tagging a transaction that includes tagging a transaction with one of a first tag value or a second tag value, forming a set of clusters associated with the tagged transactions having a first value, and forming a second set of clusters associated with the tagged transactions having a second value. The computer implemented method also includes determining a fuzzy tag value based on a relationship between the transaction and one of the centroids of the clusters having a first tag value, and one of the centroids of the clusters having second value. The method also includes replacing the first tag value or the second tag value with the fuzzy tag value.

Schools attended by Surjit Singh
Some Elementary School, Kaithal, Haryana (1952)
mai.n bataa_uu.N jii?
Before entering the educational system, I could read English and Hindi, thanks to my mother. The only thing I remember from this (my first) school is the following incident. The teaching was in Hindi. Whenever a teacher asked a question, many hands were raised and they all said, mai.n bataa_uu.N jii? In Panjabi, bataa_uu.N means brinjal or eggplant. So, to me the statement came out as, I am an eggplant, Sir? I always thought it was funny, always laughed and always got thrown out of class. Many of my classmates were refugees from the Jhang-Maghiana area of Pakistan, i.e. jhaangiis.

Colleges attended by Surjit Singh
Government College, Ludhiana (1963-1966)
Did good, won awards
I had stood first in the Ludhiana District in 9, 10 and 11 grades; so people knew me. This college had a reputation of producing first class first students in the Panjab University. So people from other cities had come to learn. In the first year examination, I stood first in the Panjab University by obtaining record marks. At this point, the students who were in the next 4 or 5 positions quit the Panjab university and went to other universities! One fellow called Hari Kishan Sahajwani went to the newly-formed Haryana University and stood first in that university in years 2 and 3. I took Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English. I also took Honours in Mathematics. Won lots of books in the annual prize ceremonies. Of course, I stood first in the university in all the examinations and obtained University Medals. I was also given Pandit Hem Raj Medal for standing first in the Math. Honors examination.
