  • Publication number: 20240169253
    Abstract: Using a first dataset of labeled data, a model is trained by adjusting a feature extractor parameter, a classifier parameter, and a discriminator parameter of the model. Using the discriminator parameter and a parametric function of the feature extractor parameter, a plurality of samples of a dataset of unlabeled data is scored. A subset of the scored plurality of samples is selected for labeling. Responsive to receiving a label of each of the selected subset of the scored plurality of samples, the first dataset of labeled data is augmented with the selected subset of the scored plurality of samples and the label of each of the selected subset of the scored plurality of samples. Using the augmented dataset of labeled data, the model is retrained. The retraining comprises further adjusting the feature extractor parameter, the classifier parameter, and the discriminator parameter of the model.

  • Publication number: 20240169697
    Abstract: An embodiment includes detecting query data associated with a query, where the query data comprises an active feature and a passive attribute used in a machine learning model, and where the machine learning model is trained to output a predicted result based at least in part on the active feature. The embodiment generates, using a first trained neural network, a digital image based at least in part on the passive attribute, and generates, from the machine learning model, outcome narrative data indicative of an explanation of the predicted result and based at least in part on the active feature. The embodiment then generates, using an image generator, a graphical explanation of the predicted result, the graphical explanation being based at least in part on the outcome narrative data and the digital image.

  • Patent number: 11989199
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for optimizing a flow of data within transform, load (ETL) data processing pipelines. Database columns from a source database that are to be transformed as well as not transformed in the data processing stages of a processing segment of an ETL data processing pipeline are identified. Those database columns that are to be transformed are grouped into a processing schema. Transformations are then performed on the database columns of the processing schema. Those database columns that are not to be transformed are grouped into a non-processing schema. A large object data type (LOB) is then created to reference the non-processing schema. An identifier is created and inserted in the data processing stages to identify the LOB in replace of the database columns that are not to be transformed thereby avoiding the copying of the database columns that are not to be transformed.

  • Patent number: 11989236
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for mode-specific search query processing. A current search query is received from a user, where the user has a user profile, and where the user profile has a public portion and a private portion. A query mode and a query context for the current search query are determined. In response to determining that the query mode is a guided mode, the current search query is rewritten based on the query context, the private portion of the user profile of the user, and the public portion of each corresponding user profile of each of one or more search influencers to generate a first rewritten search query; the first rewritten search query is executed to generate first search results; and the first search results are returned.

  • Patent number: 11989261
    Abstract: A computer answers a question using a data table. The computer receives a user question and a target table containing a target cell corresponding to a target answer for the user question, with the target cell corresponding to a target column and a target row. The computer generates, a first classifier to provide column correlation values reflecting the probability that a given column is the target column. The computer generates a second classifier that provides row correlation values reflecting the probability that a given row is the target row. The computer applies the first classifier to the target table to determine a column correlation value for each column. The computer applies the second classifier to the target table to determine a row correlation value for each row. The computer suggests, as the target cell, a cell having elevated column and row correlation values relative to other target table cells.

  • Patent number: 11989085
    Abstract: In an approach for predicting an optimal system upgrade, a processor detects an upgrade is available for a system of a first user computing device. A processor gathers a set of live data from an environment of the first user computing device using a process mining software. A processor compares the set of live data to a set of historical data stored in a knowledge corpus to identify a second user computing device similar to the first user computing device. Responsive to identifying the second user computing device, a processor performs a pattern recognition to generate one or more critical recommendations associated with the upgrade for the system of the first user computing device. A processor schedules the upgrade for the system of the first user computing device during a period of time, wherein the period of time is scheduled consistent with the one or more critical recommendations.

  • Patent number: 11989094
    Abstract: A method for minimizing data transfer and storage utilization on cloud object storage systems is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method replicates a file from a production system to a cloud object storage system. The method determines whether a number of hard links associated with the file is greater than one. In the event the number is greater than one, the method creates, on the cloud object storage system, a special object for the file and associates the file with the special object. Upon creating a hard link on the production system in association with the file, the method replicates the hard link from the production system to the cloud object storage system without replicating data associated with the file. A metadata reference to the special object is added to the hard link on the cloud object storage system. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
