  • Patent number: 11603017
    Abstract: The present application describes a system and method for converting a natural language query to a standard query using a sequence-to-sequence neural network. As described herein, when a natural language query is receive, the natural language query is converted to a standard query using a sequence-to-sequence model. In some cases, the sequence-to-sequence model is associated with an attention layer. A search using the standard query is performed and various documents may be returned. The documents that result from the search are scored based, at least in part, on a determined conditional entropy of the document. The conditional entropy is determined using the natural language query and the document.

  • Patent number: 11604801
    Abstract: A system for simulating a dataset based on sample statistics, and generating pipeline instructions for a database using the simulated dataset, is disclosed. The system may be a cloud-based platform. The system can provide improved performance and security while designing and deploying Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) database pipelines to manage on-premises data.

  • Patent number: 11561939
    Abstract: Data is processed iteratively by a database system with a first cache storing key-value data which resulted from previous iterations of processing input data and a second cache storing aggregated data which resulted from previous iterations of processing key-value data stored in the first cache. In a current iteration, the database system receives further input data related to the input data of the previous iterations, transforms the further input data into further key-value data and stores the further key-value data in the first cache in addition to the stored key-value data which resulted from previous iterations. The database system further processes the further key-value data and the aggregated data stored in the second cache to form updated aggregated data, and stores the updated aggregated data in the second cache for usage in further iterations. The database system also provides the updated aggregated data to at least one client.

  • Patent number: 11531651
    Abstract: A dynamic schema service (DSS) stores and vends data schema for use by one or more client services. Each schema includes one or more data fields that describe related entities. The DSS also stores meta-schema, which defines limits for field definitions in the schema and other constraints. Using the DSS, a service owner defines fields and constraints unique to its business application and can revise those fields and constraints over time. When the client service requires a schema, the client service sends a request to the DSS, and the DSS responds with the current version of the schema for use by the client service. Service owners are able to edit their schemas in DSS, and the changes are immediately implemented in the corresponding services by virtue of the schema request to DSS. In some embodiments, the DSS employs a hierarchical graph structure to determine the requested schema.
