  • Patent number: 11693549
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosure for a data enrichment system that enables declarative external data source importation and exportation. A user can specify via a user interface input for identifying different data sources from which to obtain input data. The data enrichment system is configured to import and export various types of sources storing resources such as URL-based resources and HDFS-based resources for high-speed bi-directional metadata and data interchange. Connection metadata (e.g., credentials, access paths, etc.) can be managed by the data enrichment system in a declarative format for managing and visualizing the connection metadata.

  • Patent number: 11537370
    Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, described herein is a system (Data Artificial Intelligence system, Data AI system), for use with a data integration or other computing environment, that leverages machine learning (ML, DataFlow Machine Learning, DFML), for use in managing a flow of data (dataflow, DF), and building complex dataflow software applications (dataflow applications, pipelines). In accordance with an embodiment, the system can perform an ontology analysis of a schema definition, to determine the types of data, and datasets or entities, associated with that schema; and generate, or update, a model from a reference schema that includes an ontology defined based on relationships between datasets or entities, and their attributes. A reference HUB including one or more schemas can be used to analyze data flows, and further classify or make recommendations such as, for example, transformations enrichments, filtering, or cross-entity data fusion of an input data.

  • Patent number: 11379506
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to performing similarity metric analysis and data enrichment using knowledge sources. A data enrichment service can compare an input data set to reference data sets stored in a knowledge source to identify similarly related data. A similarity metric can be calculated corresponding to the semantic similarity of two or more datasets. The similarity metric can be used to identify datasets based on their metadata attributes and data values enabling easier indexing and high performance retrieval of data values. A input data set can labeled with a category based on the data set having the best match with the input data set. The similarity of an input data set with a data set provided by a knowledge source can be used to query a knowledge source to obtain additional information about the data set. The additional information can be used to provide recommendations to the user.

  • Patent number: 10891272
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a data enrichment service that extracts, repairs, and enriches datasets, resulting in more precise entity resolution and correlation for purposes of subsequent indexing and clustering. As the data enrichment service can include a visual recommendation engine and language for performing large-scale data preparation, repair, and enrichment of heterogeneous datasets. This enables the user to select and see how the recommended enrichments (e.g., transformations and repairs) will affect the user's data and make adjustments as needed. The data enrichment service can receive feedback from users through a user interface and can filter recommendations based on the user feedback.
