Patent number: 11868417Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that identify and issue search queries expected to be issued in the future. A set of search queries that have been issued by multiple user devices can be obtained. For each query instance, contextual data can be obtained. A first query and its contextual data can be input to a model that outputs the query's likelihood of being issued in the future. The model can be trained using contextual data for training queries and a corresponding labels for the training queries. The learning model outputs the first query's likelihood of being issued in future, and this query is stored as a repeatable query if the likelihood satisfying a repeatability threshold. Subsequently, a stored repeatable query is issued upon a selection of a user selectable interface component and the search engine provides search results for the query.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Yew Jin Lim, David Adam Faden, Mario Tanev, Lauren Ashley Koepnick, Sagar Gandhi, William Ming Zhang

Patent number: 11868368Abstract: Disclosed is a system having an input arrangement and an output arrangement. The system includes a plurality of data processing nodes to processes input data and generates output data, depending on operation of a distributed ledger arrangement to which an entry is added. A directed acyclic graph (DAG) is utilized to agree upon a set of data transactions required for adding the entry to the distributed ledger arrangement. The system employs decentralized beacon arrangement that randomly elects data processing nodes that operate to form consensus of entry to be added to the distributed ledger arrangement, pseudo-random number generator engine to rank the data processing nodes within the group; and control arrangement that enables the leading node to provide final proposal to be included in the DAG, wherein a remainder of the data processing nodes operate to notarize the final proposal to add the entry to the distributed ledger arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Inventors: David Galindo, Jonathan Ward

Patent number: 11861688Abstract: Bid values submitted for various keywords can take into account the recovery propensity between paid search and organic search. When submitting a bid to a search engine provider for a keyword, an entity may get a certain level of performance in return. If not submitting a bid, however, the entity will likely still get some level of performance, although likely less than for paid search. In order to optimize for a parameter such as impressions, purchases, or profit, the recovery propensity can be taken into account in order to adjust the bid price, taking into account the relative performance of paid and organic search and then optimizing for the determined goal. Organic search data in some embodiments can be obtained through testing or modeling, or a combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rohit Gupta, Ayman Omar Farahat, Han Wu, Pragyana K.

Patent number: 11860829Abstract: Methods for page split detection and affinity in query processing pushdowns are performed by systems and devices. Page servers perform pushdown operations based on specific, and specifically formatted or generated, information, instructions, and data provided thereto from a compute node. Page servers also determine that page splits have occurred during reading of data pages maintained by page servers during pushdown operations, and also during fulfillment of compute node data requests. To detect a data page has split, page servers utilize information from a compute node of an expected next data page which is compared to a next data page in the page server page index. A mismatch in the comparison by page servers indicates data page was split. Compute nodes and page servers store and maintain off-row data generated during data operations via page affinity considerations where the off-row data is stored at the same page server as the data.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Craig S.

Patent number: 11841830Abstract: A method to dynamically switch between catalog sharing protocols includes monitoring, over a period of time, access to a catalog used to index data sets. Using information gathered during this monitoring period, the method divides the period of time into intervals based on which of a plurality of sharing protocols, used to access the catalog, would provide the best performance during the respective interval. The method schedules the sharing protocols to operate during their respective intervals going forward, and switches between the sharing protocols in accordance with the schedule. In certain embodiments, switching between the sharing protocols includes temporarily operating in a hybrid mode in which multiple sharing protocols operate simultaneously. When using this hybrid mode, the switch may occur when one sharing protocol begins to perform better than the other. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2015Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Neal E.
