  • Patent number: 11734324
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein enable the efficient storage and searching of large amounts of data to retrieve desired data with high accuracy and fast response time. The embodiments include for example parsing an input document containing input data into multiple sub-documents based on the structure of the input document and generating for each sub-document, a unique ID, pathway, and metadata. The embodiments also include storage of the ID and pathway for each sub-document in an index database and storage of the input document itself in a separate database. When a query for information from the input document is received, the ID and pathway of the sub document containing the queried information are identified and used to locate the queried information from the input document.

  • Patent number: 11734354
    Abstract: A computer system includes a processor and a database. The database includes a plurality of business intelligence (BI) data objects. Each of the BI data objects is associated with one or more data parameters. The processor is programmed with computer-executable instructions that cause the processor to run user code associated with a runtime environment that is hosted on the database. The user code includes executable source code that is not an intrinsic part of the database. The user code is created and deployed into the database and is configured to intercept a data call from a query application to a query interface for data corresponding to one or more of the BI data objects. The data call includes one or more selected parameters. The data call is parsed to ascertain the one or more selected parameters. Data corresponding to the one or more BI data objects is obtained from the database based on the one or more selected parameters. A data prediction result is appended to the obtained data.

  • Patent number: 11720564
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for determining a shortest path between two nodes of a graph, where the graph is represented in one or more tables of a relational database as a plurality of records identifying edges between pairs of connected nodes in the graph. A request specifies a source node (or set of source nodes), a target node (or set of target nodes) and a maximum path length L. Each path length l, from 1 to L, is iteratively tested by first generating a query comprising a sequence of join operations for that path length, and secondly decomposing the join operations into a sequence of one or more tree-structured queries comprising semi-join operations. Each tree-structured query when executed as a sequence of semi-join operations will return either an empty result set, indicating that no shortest path exists at that path length, or a non-empty result set which identifies all edges at step k of each shortest path of length l, where 1?k?l.

  • Patent number: 11698920
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer-readable media enable various techniques related to semantic navigation. One aspect is a technique for displaying semantically derived facets in the search engine interface. Each of the facets comprises faceted search results. Each of the faceted search results is displayed in association with user interface elements for including or excluding the faceted search result as additional search terms to subsequently refine the search query. Another aspect automatically infers new metadata from the content and from existing metadata and then automatically annotates the content with the new metadata to improve recall and navigation. Another aspect identifies semantic annotations by determining semantic connections between the semantic annotations and then dynamically generating a topic page based on the semantic connections.

  • Patent number: 11669506
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a system, method, and computer readable storage medium for searchable encryption. A plurality of search terms are extracted from at least a part of a data structure. A keyed-hash value for each search term is calculated and stored in a list. The value of a bit in a predetermined position within each keyed-hash value is examined. If the value of the bit is a first value for ? of the keyed-hash values and a second value for ? of the keyed-hash values, wherein ? is a number greater or equal to two and the first value is different to the second value, then the set of keyed-hash values is split into two lists.

  • Patent number: 11615107
    Abstract: Definitions of material views are automatically generated. In general, Automated MV generation identifies a set of candidates MVs by examining a working set of query blocks. Once the candidates are formed, the candidate MVs are further evaluated to calculate a benefit to the candidate MVs. An improved approach for generating a candidate set of MVs is described herein. The improved approach is referred to as the extended covering subexpression technique (ECSE). Under ECSE, various relationships between join sets other than strict equivalence are used to generate new resultant join sets. Such relationships include subset, intersection, superset, and union, which shall be described in further detail below. In some cases, relationships among resultant join sets and initial join sets are considered to generate new resultant join sets. The final resultant join sets are then used to form a candidate set of MVs.
