Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, system and computer program product for single view presentation of multiple query. In an embodiment of the disclosure, a method for single view presentation of multiple query includes directing a query against a database along a selected dimension of multiple different elements. In response, a primary result set is received. The result set is then organized into a tabular view of cells according to the selected dimension and values for the selected dimension. Thereafter, a set of nested queries may be directed for each of the elements in the selected dimension against the result set utilizing a different dimension. In response to each directed set of nested queries, a corresponding result set is thus received. Finally, each corresponding result set is inserted into a cell associated with a common one of the elements.

Based at least in part on the inferred interest in matching, the systems and methods match the first user and the second user for a service, and transmit (i) a first representation of the first user to a portable device of the second user, and (ii) a second representation of the second user to a portable device of the first user.

Abstract: To provide a trusted, secure, and immutable record of transactions within a process plant, techniques are described for utilizing a distributed ledger in process control systems. The distributed ledger may be maintained by nodes which receive transactions broadcasted from field devices, controllers, operator workstations, or other devices operating within the process plant. The transactions may include process plant data, such as process parameter data, product parameter data, configuration data, user interaction data, maintenance data, commissioning data, plant network data, and product tracking data. The distributed ledgers may also be utilized to execute smart contracts to allow machines such as field devices to transact by themselves without human intervention. In this manner, recorded process parameter values and product parameter values may be retrieved to verify the quality of products.

Abstract: A search query relating to a search for people and including one or more search terms is received. A search graph for the search is created from a previously created graph which is a directional graph in which people are represented by nodes and content is represented by nodes or edges. The search graph is generated by filtering out nodes or edges that represent content that is determined not to be relevant to the search terms in the search query; and, for the remaining content that is determined to be relevant to the search terms in the search query, adding to the graph a measure of the relevance of the content to the search terms. The search results are generated by operating on the search graph to identify people in the search graph who are sources of content that is relevant to the search terms.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving information expressing a user's interest in one or more media programs, obtaining information indicative of popularity for a plurality of media programs responsive to the received information by individuals other than the user, and transmitting one or more recommendations of media programs for display to the user, from the plurality of media programs that relate to the received information.

Abstract: A constraint system enforces projection constraints on data values stored in specified columns of a shared dataset when queries are received by a database system. A projection constraint identifies that the data in a column may be restricted from being projected (e.g., presented, read, outputted) in an output to a received query, while allowing specified operations to be performed on the data and a corresponding output to be provided. For example, the projection constraint may indicate a context for a query that triggers the constraint, such as based on the user that submitted the query. Enforcing projection constraints on queries received at the database system allows for data to be shared and used anonymously by entities to perform various operations without the need to tokenize the data.

Abstract: Techniques described herein allow a user of an RDBMS to specify a graph algorithm function (GAF) declaration, which defines a graph algorithm that takes a graph object as input and returns a logical graph object as output. A database dictionary stores the GAF declaration, which allows addition of GAFs without changing the RDBMS kernel. GAFs are used within graph queries to compute output properties of property graph objects. Output properties are accessible in the enclosing graph pattern matching query, and are live for the duration of the query cursor execution. According to various embodiments, the declaration of a GAF includes a DESCRIBE function, used for semantic analysis of the GAF, and an EXECUTE function, which defines the operations performed by the GAF. Furthermore, composition of GAFs in a graph query is done by supplying, as the input graph argument of an outer GAF, the result of an inner GAF.

The method includes receiving data associated with a behavior of a first user of the content service. The data associated with the behavior of the first user includes an indication of at least a first user input for controlling the playback of the first media item. The method includes using the received data to provide a media recommendation to the electronic device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for master-to-master OT-based artifact peering. A “master-to-master” architecture for artifacts is implemented in a network comprising a plurality of nodes and clients, where no node is designated a “master” or “primary” for a given artifact. A first node receives a subset of remote proposed operations from a second node and determines if a conflict exists between the received subset of remote proposed operations and at least one of a plurality of locally-proposed operations. The first node resolves the conflict based on a total-ordering agreed upon between the first node and the second node. The first node transforms at least one operation, either received or locally-proposed, based on the resolved conflict. The first node than updates a local log to include the transformed operation.

Abstract: Automatic finding of online profiles of an entity location is disclosed. Reference location data for location attributes of an entity location are obtained. A search for a profile of the entity location on a source is performed using at least some of the obtained reference location data. One or more search results are obtained. A search result includes a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and corresponding search result location data. The search result is evaluated. Evaluating the search result includes normalizing the search result location data included with the search result and comparing the normalized search result location data against the reference location data. Based at least in part on the evaluation, it is determined whether the search result matches to a profile of the entity location on the source. In the event that the search result matches to a profile of the entity location on the source, the search result is provided as output.

Abstract: Data migration of an application from source to target information system is a critical step for a successful modernization project. There are few commercial tools available to address the data migration challenge, creation of a data transformation specification is largely a manual, knowledge intensive, and expert driven process. A system and method for learning based synthesis of data transformation rules have been provided. The system is focused on automating important aspects of automatic inference of the transformation specification. The key principles behind the system and method are derived from the observations on how experts use domain, system, and historical mapping knowledge while creating data transformation specifications. The system contains two major components, schema matching and transformation rule program generation. The system uses machine learning, knowledge representation for schema matching and developed rule generator using a deductive synthesizer.

Abstract: A graph comprising nodes and edges is stored by a distributed system as a collection of nodes and half-edges stored with their respective nodes. A message processor is associated with a node as needed to process messages passed between nodes, such that a given node has zero or one message processor assigned to it at a given time. Queries of the graph are resolved by processing a first portion of the query at a first node, and forwarding the results with the remaining portions of the query to a node linked by an edge to the present node.

Abstract: State of art techniques that utilize spatial association based Table structure Recognition (TSR) have limitation in selecting minimal but most informative word pairs to generate digital table representation. Embodiments herein provide a method and system for TSR from an table image via deep spatial association of words using optimal number of word pairs, analyzed by a single classifier to determine word association. The optimal number of word pairs are identified by utilizing immediate left neighbors and immediate top neighbors approach followed redundant word pair elimination, thus enabling accurate capture of structural feature of even complex table images via minimal word pairs.

Abstract: The increased use of graph algorithms in diverse fields has highlighted their inefficiencies in current chip-multiprocessor (CMP) architectures, primarily due to their seemingly random-access patterns to off-chip memory. Here, a novel computer memory architecture is proposed that processes operations on vertex data in on-chip memory and off-chip memory. The hybrid computer memory architecture utilizes a vertex's degree as a proxy to determine whether to process related operations in on-memory or off-chip memory. The proposed computer memory architecture manages to provide up to 4.0× improvement in performance and 3.8× in energy benefits, compared to a baseline CMP, and up to a 2.0× performance boost over state-of-the-art specialized solutions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a multi-tenant system that executes graph language requests using graph operations of a graph language. A graph language request—that configures tenant data for tenants in a multi-tenant system—is executed using a graph operations engine. The graph operations engine receives and parses a graph language request that includes a list of tenants and a definition of data operations. The set of data operations of the definition are executed on a tree of data operation nodes comprising a plurality of leaf nodes and a root node. Executing the data operations is based on graph language actions (e.g., composition, transformation, and aggregation) that support asynchronously returning results data associated with configuring the Tenant data. Executing the data operations of the definition causes generation of results data (e.g., root node results or leaf node results) configuration of the tenant data in the multi-tenant system.

Abstract: Service interruptions in a multi-tenancy, network-based storage system can be mitigated by constraining the execution of queries. In various examples, a network-based storage system may receive a request to execute a query against data maintained by the network-based storage system. The network-based storage system may perform a unit of work to execute the query, progressing through some, but not all, of a set of operations that are to be completed for completing execution of the query. Upon completion of the unit of work, query execution may be paused, query state data may be saved, and query results may be generated for consumption by the requesting computing device. In some embodiments, tokens that are usable to resume query execution based on the saved query state data may be sent to customer computing devices for resuming query execution on-demand.

Abstract: A mapping system comprising processes for creating and displaying structured geotagged data using interactive digital geographic imagery is disclosed. In one embodiment, a mapping system comprises processes and logic for creating a geo tag for structured data. A user creates a geo tag for a property of an object by selecting a geographic location on an interactive digital map and selecting the property of the object from a dialog presented to the user in response to selecting the geographic location. In this way, the user can more quickly and easily create structured geotagged data than can be accomplished using typical approaches requiring the user to manually enter geographic coordinates to associate a geographic location with structured data.
