  • Patent number: 11748313
    Abstract: Optimizing file system resource reservation is presented herein. The method comprises dividing a virtual file system address space into subspaces, initializing the subspaces with volume slices of a group of volume slices comprising a first volume slice, a second volume slice, and a collection of reserved volume slices allocated based on an allocation pattern that allocates volume slices as a function of a quantitative relationship between a first value associated with a first volume slice and a second value associated with a second volume slice, determining that a data block count is insufficient to service a write operation of user data to the second volume slice; and provisioning a second subspace with a free volume slice obtained from the collection of reserved volume slices, and wherein the provisioning of the second subspace with the free volume slice is performed without invoking a memory exclusion mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11687848
    Abstract: A device receives a request associated with standardizing organization-specific roles within an organization, where the request includes data that identifies titles for the organization-specific roles. The device converts the data to vectors that represent semantic meanings of the titles. The device sets a configuration of a data model by assigning weighted values to title-class identifiers that are used to associate titles, of a standardized set of titles, to a hierarchy of role classifications. The device uses the data model to determine scores that indicate likelihoods of the titles mapping to the title-class identifiers. The device identifies, based on scores, a subset of title-class identifiers that associate particular titles, of the standardized set of titles, and particular role classifications. The subset of title-class identifiers is stored in association with information relating to the particular titles. The device performs an action based on the information relating to the particular titles.

  • Patent number: 11645235
    Abstract: The present technology operates in an application layer of an operating system on a client device of a content management system to monitor for changes to shared content items that are likely unintentional—for example the change might move a content item out of a shared space, or otherwise remove the shared content item from access by other users. The present technology can detect a content item change event on a client device, compare a source file system path for the content item change event with a destination file system path for the content item change event to determine a canonical move causing the content item change event, determine that the canonical move was likely unintentional; and display a notification informing the user that a content item change that was likely unintentional was detected and then allow the user to either confirm or deny (undo) the detected change.

  • Patent number: 11640408
    Abstract: A user may submit a search query to a search engine, which may process the search query and generate a set of results. Previous actions of the user or of other users may be used to identify recommended search queries. The recommended search queries may be presented to the user along with the search results for the query. The location of the recommended search queries may be fixed, set by the user, or determined on a query-by-query basis. A user interface element operable to cause the presentation of one or more recommended search queries may be presented after a delay. After an additional or independent delay, the recommended search queries may be presented automatically. The delays may be fixed, set by the user, or determined on a query-by-query basis.

  • Patent number: 11580150
    Abstract: Some embodiments may perform operations of a process that includes obtaining a natural language text document and use a machine learning model to generate a set of attributes based on a set of machine-learning-model-generated classifications in the document. The process may include performing hierarchical data extraction operations to populate the attributes, where different machine learning models may be used in sequence. The process may include using a pre-trained Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model augmented with a pooling operation to determine a BERT output via a multi-channel transformer model to generate vectors on a per-sentence level or other per-text-section level. The process may include using a finer-grain model to extract quantitative or categorical values of interest, where the context of the per-sentence level may be retained for the finer-grain model.

  • Patent number: 11580143
    Abstract: Techniques for improved data services are provided. Upon receiving a first request from a first client, a first timeline comprising a first plurality of events for an asset indicated in the first request is generated. Upon receiving a second request from a second client, a second timeline comprising a second plurality of events is generated. A first submission for the asset is provided to the first client, comprising updating a first graphical user interface (GUI) output on a first device of the first client. Upon determining that the first client approved the first submission, a merged timeline is generated based on the first and second timelines, where the merged timeline includes the first and second pluralities of events, comprising: updating the first GUI output on the first device, and a second GUI output on a second device of the second client, to indicate the merged timeline.

  • Patent number: 11562022
    Abstract: Embodiments use successive refinement to allow a user to systematically explore the result set of an arbitrary query over RDF, such as a SPARQL query. A user inputs an arbitrary base query and modifies this query by replacing selected variables with values to which each selected variable is bound within the result set of the base query. Embodiments present, via a GUI, variable facets that may be substituted for query variables. Embodiments also present, through a GUI, a query history graph that represents query versions that a user has created. A user may navigate this query history graph to return to previously-created query versions. The GUI also provides information about the facets, including a number of results that would be included in the result set of the query version resulting from substitution of the facet for the associated variable.

  • Patent number: 11514086
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards real time display of event records and extracted values based on at least one extraction rule, such as a regular expression. A user interface may be employed to enable a user to have an extraction rule automatically generate and/or to manually enter an extraction rule. The user may be enabled to manually edit a previously provided extraction rule, which may result in real time display of updated extracted values. The extraction rule may be utilized to extract values from each of a plurality of records, including event records of unstructured machine data. Statistics may be determined for each unique extracted value, and may be displayed to the user in real time. The user interface may also enable the user to select at least one unique extracted value to display those event records that include an extracted value that matches the selected value.
