  • Patent number: 11947551
    Abstract: An online system may generate numerous search records in response to searches requested by users. The online system may use a specific way to sample the historical search records to reduce biases in sampling. For example, the online system retrieves historical query records associated with an item query engine. The set of historical query records includes a plurality of search phrases. A historical query record is associated with a search phrase and a list of items returned by the item query engine. The online system determines the search frequencies for the search phrases. The online system stratifies the historical query records into a plurality of bins according to the search frequencies of the search phrases. The online system samples the historical query records from the plurality of bins to collect a representative set of historical query records and outputs the representative set of historical query records for rating.

  • Patent number: 11941005
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for providing flexible access to data during execution of a data access request. Multiple instances of a data artifact are created, where different instances of the data artifact provide access to different data sources having data associated with the data access request. When a data access request is executed, a particular data artifact instance can be used during execution of the data access request. In some cases, switching logic can be used to determine which data artifact instance is to be used in executing the data access request. Also described are technologies for facilitating creation of data artifact instances corresponding to a modelling artifact.

  • Patent number: 11907250
    Abstract: Techniques are described for executing machine learning models trained for specific operators with feature values that are based on the actual execution of a workload set. The machine learning models generate an estimate of benefit gain/cost for executing operations on data portions in the alternative encoding format. Such data potions may be sorted based on the estimated benefit, in an embodiment. Using cost estimation machine learning models for memory space, the data portions with the most benefits that comply with the existing memory space constraints are recommended and/or are automatically encoded into the alternative encoding format.

  • Patent number: 11899675
    Abstract: A machine reading comprehension system (MRCS) can analyze a larger-sized document that includes multiple pages to predict an answer to a query. For example, the document can have two, five, tens, or hundreds of pages. The MRCS divides the document into multiple sections with each section including a portion of the document. Each section is processed separately by one or more processing circuitries to determine a score for that section. The score indicates how related the section is to the query and/or a probability that the section provides a possible answer to the query. Once all of the sections have been analyzed, the sections are ranked by their scores and a subset of the ranked sections are processed again to determine a predicted answer to the query.

  • Patent number: 11829359
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described for performing scalable data processing operations. A queue that includes a translatable portion comprising indications of data processing operations translatable to data queries and a non-translatable portion comprising indications of non-translatable data processing operations is maintained. A determination that a first data processing operation of a first code block statement is translatable to a database query is made. An indication of the first data processing operation is included in the translatable portion of the queue. Responsive to a determination that a second data processing operation of a second code block statement is undeferrable, the translatable portion of the queue is compiled into a database query. An execution of the database query to be executed by a database engine to generate a query result is caused. A result dataset corresponding to the query result is transmitted to an application configured to analyze the result dataset.

  • Patent number: 11816170
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for dynamically generating a search set for use in a search application, such as a search engine, and using the search set to navigate collections of archived content. A request for user interface data is received from a client device in response to the client device attempting to access a domain. The domain may be parsed to identify a search category corresponding to one of the categories stored in a data store. Subcategories and search collections that are associated with the search category are identified and user interface data may be generated that cause at least a portion of the subcategories and search collections associated with a search component to be rendered in a display of the client device. The search component is configured to use a selected one of the at least a portion of the subcategories to narrow a search conducted using the search component by generating a narrowing search query.

  • Patent number: 11809486
    Abstract: A content retrieval system uses a graph neural network architecture to determine images relevant to an image designated in a query. The graph neural network learns a new descriptor space that can be used to map images in the repository to image descriptors and the query image to a query descriptor. The image descriptors characterize the images in the repository as vectors in the descriptor space, and the query descriptor characterizes the query image as a vector in the descriptor space. The content retrieval system obtains the query result by identifying a set of relevant images associated with image descriptors having above a similarity threshold with the query descriptor.
