  • Patent number: 11494360
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate generally to the processing of compressed multidimensional data and selection of engagement rules based on the compressed multidimensional data. In some embodiments, a method includes retrieving, via a processor, a multidimensional data profile that includes a set of first inclination distributions, each associated with a data dimension. The processor matches a first set of engagement rules to the multidimensional data profile to define a matched set, each engagement rule of the first set of engagement rules having a corresponding confidence level and a corresponding set of second inclination distributions. The processor selects an engagement rule from the matched set that has a corresponding confidence level no less than a corresponding confidence level for each remaining engagement rule from the matched set, and sends a signal causing display of a stimulus to a user according to the selected engagement rule and not according to the remaining engagement rules.

  • Patent number: 11386153
    Abstract: A flexible tagging and searching system can be configured to associate tags with the input data to enable a search of the input data. The flexible tagging and searching system can receive user data and determine an identifier associated with the user data. The system can compare the identifier with other identifiers to determine that the identifier is unique. After determining that the identifier is unique, the system can associate a critical tag with the user data and store the critical tag in a database. Then the system can associate a non-critical tag with the user data. In some instances, the system can return query results such as a set of tag data and/or a set of data items.

  • Patent number: 11379500
    Abstract: Technologies are described for performing automated data integration, reconciliation, and/or self-healing using machine learning. For example, data integration can be checked using a reconciliation procedure. The number of times that the reconciliation is performed can be determined dynamically by a machine learning model. For each iteration, reconciliation can be performed to check integrated data against source data. If any reconciliation errors are found, then self-healing operations can be performed. Results of the reconciliation can be output. The reconciliation results can be used to update the machine learning model so that the machine learning model can dynamically adjust the number of iterations to perform based at least in part on reconciliation results.

  • Patent number: 11379332
    Abstract: Aspects of a data environment, such as the creation, provisioning, and management of data stores and instances, are managed using a separate control environment. A user can call into an externally-facing interface of the control environment, the call being analyzed to determine actions to be performed in the data environment. A monitoring component of the control plane also can periodically communicate with the data environment to determine any necessary actions to be performed, such as to recover from faults or events in the data environment. A workflow can be instantiated that includes tasks necessary to perform the action. For each task, state information can be passed to a component in the data environment operable to perform the task, until all tasks for an action are completed. Data in the data environment can be accessed directly using an externally-facing interface of the data environment, without accessing the control plane.
