  • 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: 11990214
    Abstract: Aspects include receiving a document and classifying at least a subset of the document as having a first type of data. Features are extracted from the document. The extracting includes initiating processing of the at least a subset of the document by a first processing engine that was previously trained to extract features from the first type of data. The extracting also includes initiating processing of a remaining portion of the document not included in the at least a subset of the document by a second processing engine that was previously trained to extract features from a second type of data. The first type of data is different than the second type of data. Features are received from one or both of the first processing engine and the second processing engine.

  • 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.

  • 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.
