  • Patent number: 11836552
    Abstract: A type restriction contextually modifies an existing type descriptor. The type restriction is imposed on a data structure to restrict the values that are assumable by the data structure. The type restriction does not cancel or otherwise override the effect of the existing type descriptor on the data structure. Rather the type restriction may declare that a value of the data structure's type is forbidden for the data structure. Additionally or alternatively, the type restriction may declare that an element count allowable for a data structure's type is forbidden for the data structure. Type restriction allows optionality (where only a singleton value for a data structure is allowed), empty sets (where no value for a data structure is allowed), and multiplicity (where only a limited element count for a data structure) to be injected into a code set independent of data type. Type restriction allows certain optimizations to be performed.

The smartNIC may be configured with various modes that enable passthrough of input/output operations to or from non-volatile remote storage (e.g., a block storage data plane volume) or storage of at least some of the data corresponding to the input/output operations within the persistent memory managed by the smartNIC. The smartNIC may be configured to select a storage location for data between a pool of candidate storage including the persistent storage managed by the smartNIC or the non-volatile remote storage. These techniques improve communications between the smartNIC and the non-volatile remote storage and reduce the risk of network jitters and overall network latency.

  • Publication number: 20230376693
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention detect deceptive or fake content in text. In an example, a computer system generates, from text a discourse tree that represents rhetorical relationships between fragments of the text. The computer system generates a communicative discourse tree from the discourse tree. The computer system identifies a number of non-trivial rhetorical relations associated with the nonterminal nodes in the communicated discourse tree and, for each terminal edge having a communicative action, a level of nesting of the communicative action. The computer system derives, from the number of non-trivial rhetorical relations and the levels of nesting of the identified communicative actions, a complexity score that is indicative of a level of deception in the text.

  • Patent number: 11823667
    Abstract: Techniques for modifying rules for completing requests using a conversational interface are disclosed. A conversational interface receives a user request to perform a particular function. A system extracts semantic content from the request and obtains contextual metadata associated with the request. Using the semantic content and contextual metadata, the system generates a data set of attribute values. The system determines whether the data set matches a data set of required data attributes associated with the request. If the provided data set is different than the required data set, the system determines whether to modify a set of rules associated with the request. The set of rules specifies which attribute values are required to complete the request. When the system modifies the rules associated with the request, the system also determines whether to apply the rule modification to subsequent requests by the same user and other users.

  • Patent number: 11824955
    Abstract: When a request for accessing a service is received, a user object may be stored in a long-term data store, as well as in a short-term cache. The cache may be divided into a regular cache that stores full versions of the user objects, and a surrogate cache that stores compact versions of the user object. The compact version of the user object may include a field that is derived from the full user object indicating whether a subsequent request for access to a particular service should be granted. After access is granted/denied based on this value in the compact user object, the system can process an update to the full user object offline. This surrogate cache structure may be used to rapidly approve/deny requests, decoupling this procedure from the processing involved with a full user object.

  • Patent number: 11822939
    Abstract: Plugins that are independently written are executed in a collaborative manner to analysis a log. A plugin executing with respect to a particular node of a hierarchical data structure determines values for a set of keys based on information of the particular node and/or any ancestor nodes, and information stored in a shared repository. The plugin stores the values for the keys as additional information of the particular hierarchical node and/or into the shared repository. The plugin does not access information of non-ancestor nodes when executing with respect to the particular hierarchical node. Each plugin writes into and retrieves from the shared repository using the shared naming convention, thereby sharing information. The sequence of execution of the plugins is not dependent on dependencies amongst the plugins. If a dependent plugin requiring an output from a requisite plugin is first executed, the dependent plugin is flagged as pending and subsequently re-executed.
