  • Patent number: 11755574
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure provide for anticipatory pre-execution of queries. In an implementation of the disclosure, a method for anticipatory pre-execution of queries includes the computation of an execution cost of each of a multiplicity of different queries to a data source scheduled at a specified time on a specified date. The method also includes monitoring a querying processing schedule and detecting from the monitoring, unscheduled time on a particular date prior to the specified time on the specified date. Finally, the method includes responding to the detection by first selecting a most expensive one of the different queries in terms of execution cost, for instance an amount of computing resources consumed in executing a corresponding one of the different queries, and then executing the selected most expensive one of the different queries during the unscheduled time on the particular date prior to the specified time on the specified date.

  • Patent number: 11748362
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating the cardinality of graph pattern queries using graph statistics and metadata is presented. In various embodiments, node and edge labels are used to compute estimates for graph patterns (bi-grams) and the estimates for these patterns as composed to provide cardinality estimates of longer paths. The computation of bi-grams is low cost and requires only minimal changes to the existing query planner in the existing database machinery to be useful. The resulting estimates are used during query execution to minimize the amount of work needed to complete a query and return a faithful and accurate answer to the user. The apparatus includes modules containing computer-executable instructions to perform the above method.

  • Patent number: 11734317
    Abstract: According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is proposed a solution for automatic analysis of a difference between multi-dimensional datasets. In this solution, an analysis request is received for a first dataset and a second dataset, each of which including data items corresponding to a plurality of dimensions. In response to the analysis request, data items corresponding to a first dimension in the first and second datasets are compared. Based on the comparison, a first set of influence factors associated with the first dimension are determined, each influence factor indicating a reason for a difference between the first and second datasets from a respective perspective. An analysis result related to the difference between the first and second datasets is presented based on the first set of influence factors. In this way, it is possible to achieve automatic and efficient analysis of the difference between the different datasets.

  • Patent number: 11726990
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for efficiently storing information identifying journey instances within unstructured event data of a data intake and processing system. Each journey instance is illustratively associated with a series of events within the unstructured event data occurring over a journey duration. Because the unstructured event data may be constantly updated, any given inspection of the event data may yield both complete and incomplete instances. Storage of instance data over time can require updating of prior incomplete journey instances with complete versions of such instance detected at a later point in time. However, a data store of the unstructured event data may be unsuited for such updating, as the store may maintain version information for deleted data to reduce possibility of data loss. To address this issue, a separate structured data store, such as a columnar time series data store, is provided to efficiently store instance information.

  • Patent number: 11727066
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described for searching and retrieving documents based on a natural language input. A computer-implemented natural language processor electronically receives a natural language input phrase from an interface device. The natural language processor attributes a concept to the phrase with the natural language processor. The natural language processor searches a database for a set of documents to identify one or more documents associated with the attributed concept to be included in a response to the natural language input phrase. The natural language processor maintains the concepts during an interactive session with the natural language processor. The natural language processor resolves ambiguous input patterns in the natural language input phrase with the natural language processor. The natural language processor includes a processor, a memory and/or storage component, and an input/output device.

  • Patent number: 11709802
    Abstract: A cluster data replication system includes a plurality of network elements and controllers. The controllers form a cluster that is able to elect one of the controllers as a master controller with the others being follower controllers. The elected controller updates, responsive to being elected the master controller, state information in a system database of the elected controller to indicate that the elected one of the controllers is the master controller. The master controller includes one or more objects that are enabled in reaction to the state information, and which coordinate replication of changes to the data, system database, and state information from the master to the follower controllers. Each follower controller includes one or more objects able to, in reaction to the state information, disable initiation of the replication of changes to the data, system database and state information by the one or more objects in each follower controller.

  • Patent number: 11693894
    Abstract: In implementations of the subject matter described herein, a new approach for presenting a response to a message in a conversation is proposed. Generally speaking, in response to receiving a message in a conversation, the received message will be matched with one or more documents on the sentence basis. That is, the received message is compared with the sentences from a document(s), rather than predefined query-response pairs. In this way, a whole sentence may be selected from the document as a candidate response. Then the suitability of this sentence with respect to the ongoing conversation will be determined, and the response will be generated and rendered in an adaptive way based on the suitability. As a result, the user experiences may be significantly enhanced in the chatbot scenario.
