  • Patent number: 11442931
    Abstract: Techniques are described for an interactive query service that enables users to query data stored at a federated collection of data sources. An interactive query service provides interfaces that enable users to configure the interactive query service to query any number of heterogeneous data sources pertinent to a user. In general, the configuration of a data source can include identification of: a data source type, access configurations related to accessing the data source, and in some cases metadata describing a structure of the data stored by the data source (for example, a data catalog describing schemas, tables, columns, partitions, datatypes, or other metadata associated with the stored data). Once configured, an interactive query service can receive and execute queries that involve data stored at any combination of a user's data sources, where the queries may be expressed using a standard query language such as the Structured Query Language (SQL).

  • Patent number: 11436269
    Abstract: Text input data for an electronic record may be aggregated and mapped to create composite text input data. A semantic event in the composite text input data may be automatically detected, and a text mining result database may be updated by adding an entry identifying the detected semantic event and a triggering semantic rule. An indication of the electronic record may then be transmitted to a back-end application computer server that also determines at least one parameter corresponding to a characteristic of the electronic record. The computer server may then execute a computerized predictive model to predict a future performance characteristic indicator for the electronic record based on the at least one parameter and the indication received from the text mining platform, wherein the future performance characteristic indicator is indicative of a likelihood of an actual value of the electronic record differing from a predicted value of the electronic record.

  • Patent number: 11347763
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for providing content. A request for content is received from a user device. One or more candidate content items that are responsive to the request are identified from an inventory of content items. For each candidate content item, an expected performance measure associated with a respective candidate content item is determined. The expected performance measure for each respective candidate content item is compared to a predetermined threshold. When none of the candidate content items have an expected performance measure that exceeds the threshold, a notification is generated, including generating one or more queries, responsive to the request for inclusion in the notification. The notification is provided responsive to the request and for presentation to the user in lieu of a content item.
