  • Patent number: 11360957
    Abstract: A processing device receives a first query comprising a first field value and a first time period. The processing device performs a first search of a data store to identify a first plurality of events having the first time period and at least one field that comprises the first field value. The processing device generates a first search object comprising the first field value. The first search object may be a data structure, file or data record, and is stored in the data store. The processing device generates a search event comprising the first field value and a reference to the first search object. An event entry for the first search event is then written to the data store. Future searches may return both the first search event and other events, as well as search objects.

  • Patent number: 11354296
    Abstract: A method includes executing an initial instance of a change log process for a distributed system, each instance of the change log process configured to store, on memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, a transaction history of transactions executed on the distributed system. The method also includes receiving transaction requests for executing corresponding transactions on the distributed system and determining a change log load based on the received transaction requests. The method includes executing at least one subsequent instance of the change log process when the change log load satisfied a threshold load. When multiple instances of the change log process are executing, the method includes ceasing execution of the at least one subsequent instance of the change log process and merging the transaction history of the initial instance of the change log process and the transaction history of the at least one subsequent instance of the change log process.

  • Patent number: 11354351
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention train multiple Perception models to predict contextual metadata (tags) with respect to target content items. By extracting context from content items, and generating associations among the Perception models, individual Perceptions trigger one another based on the extracted context to generate a more robust set of contextual metadata. A Perception Identifier predicts core tags that make coarse distinctions among content items at relatively higher levels of abstraction, while also triggering other Perception models to predict additional perception tags at lower levels of abstraction. A Dense Classifier identifies sub-content items at various levels of abstraction, and facilitates the iterative generation of additional dense tags across integrated Perceptions.

  • Patent number: 11334550
    Abstract: There has been desired a technique for creating a table on a database without formulating an SQL statement. A control program for a controller includes a generation module configured to output an SQL statement for creating, on a database, a table in which collection target variables included in the control program are stored. The generation module determines an identification name, on the database, of each collection target variable, identifies, based on a correspondence between a data type usable in the control program and a data type usable in the database, a data type on the database corresponding to the data type of the collection target variable in the control program, and generates the SQL statement based on the determined identification name and the identified data type.

  • Patent number: 11321288
    Abstract: A method for execution by a record processing and storage system includes receiving a plurality of records and corresponding row numbers. Pages are generated from the received records. Page metadata is generated for each page that includes row number span data based on row numbers of the records included in each page. Pairs of pages are identified in the plurality of pages based on having row number span data in their page metadata that include a row number span overlap. For each pair of pages, row number span data is updated for a first page in the pair by removing the row number span overlap with a second page in the pair. Reads of pages are performed based on their row number span data. Only records of each first page of each pair of pages having row numbers that are within the updated row number span data are read.

  • Patent number: 11308137
    Abstract: As provided herein, a list of locales of interest in a location may be sorted into one or more categories. A user performing a search for a locale of interest (e.g., a restaurant) may be identified. A local score may be assigned to the locale of interest based upon a number of local users (e.g., users residing in the location) that perform the search. A second user may be determined to be near the locale of interest. A category of interest may be determined for the second user (e.g., an interest in local non-tourist restaurants). Responsive to the category of interest corresponding to the category and the local score of the locale of interest exceeding an interest threshold, the second user may be provided with a recommendation to go to the locale of interest. The locale of interest may be a local favorite restaurant rather than a tourist trap.

  • Patent number: 11288244
    Abstract: Radix trees and other trees use memory inefficiently when storing key-value associations with ‘or’ conditions. Their function can be optimized by using multiple key field trees, each corresponding to a key field, which is typically a character (or group thereof) in a string input key. The tree for the final key field has nodes with the output values, and these are annotated to identify, for each output value, the valid key field values from prior key fields. To execute a lookup, each key field tree is traversed to find a matching key field value. The final key field tree is traversed to reach one or more output values; then the previously determined key field values are compared against the valid key field values to determine if there is a match for a particular output value. The matched and valid key field values can be expressed in encoded form.

  • Patent number: 11269899
    Abstract: A memory stores a first log and a collection of queries. A processor accesses a second log that includes a first, second, third and fourth historical query, determines that the first and second historical queries belong to a first similarity group and the third and fourth historical queries belong to a second similarity group, and ranks the queries within groups based on static and dynamic features. The processor further determines the third historical query is frequently submitted and copies the highest ranked similar queries into the collection. The processor receives a first database query, stores it in both logs, determines it is not similar to queries stored in memory, further determines that it belongs to the first similarity group, copies the highest ranked similar queries to the first log, and returns a report containing the similar queries. The processor further receives and executes a second query selected from the report.

  • Patent number: 11269535
    Abstract: Implementations of the present application provide a partition splitting method. Data files in a target source partition are divided into at least two data groups. A first data group from the at least two data groups is selected as a target splitting data group. A first splitting step is performed on the target splitting data group, including: splitting the target splitting data group into a plurality of data sub-groups based on a predetermined splitting rule, wherein each data sub-group of the plurality of data sub-groups corresponds to a new partition of at least two new partitions for the target source partition, and assigning each data sub-group to the new partition corresponding to the data sub-group. A second data group from the at least two data groups is selected as the target splitting data group, wherein the second data group is different from the first data group.

  • Patent number: 11243986
    Abstract: A method for determining an intervention response category for provisioning workflows. The method determines provisioning features of a provisioning step. The method performs outlier detection to identify and remove outliers from non-intervention data to produce a non-intervention normal data set. The method performs iterative grouping on the non-intervention normal data set to determine significant variables in the provisioning features. The method performs response mapping of provisions using results of the iterative grouping including a significance of errors and a presence of errors in the non-intervention normal data and partial intervention data to categorize the provisions into a response category.
