Patent number: 11714698Abstract: A computerized method is disclosed for generating a prioritized listing of alerts based on scoring by a machine learning model and retraining the model based on user feedback. Operations of the method include receiving a plurality of alerts, generating a score for each of the plurality of alerts through evaluation of each of the plurality of alerts by a machine learning model, generating a prioritized listing of the plurality of alerts based on the generated scores, receiving user feedback on the prioritized listing, retraining the machine learning model based on the user feedback by generating a set of labeled alert pairs, wherein a labeled alert pair includes a first alert, a second alert, and an indication as to which of the first alert or the second alert is a higher priority in accordance with the user feedback, and evaluating subsequently received alerts with the retrained machine learning model.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Kristal Curtis, William Deaderick, Wei Jie Gao, Tanner Gilligan, Chandrima Sarkar, Alexander Stojanovic, Ralph Donald Thompson, Sichen Zhong, Poonam Yadav

Patent number: 8726234Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for allowing a computer system user to extend the functionality of a data-centric software application. The method includes instantiating the data-centric software application, where the data-centric application has portions of business logic categorized and associated with items of data-centric application functionality defined in a schema. The method includes receiving customization input to customize at least one of the portions of business logic. The method includes formulating a representative model corresponding to at least one of the portions of customized business logic. The method includes applying the representative model to the schema to generate a customized schema that extends the business logic of the data-centric software application.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2006Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vijay Mital, Tim Getsch, Andrew Robert Miller, Erik Jon Rucker, Alexander Stojanovic

Patent number: 7774713Abstract: Semantic rich objects for a dynamic user experience. One or more actions in the process are represented by semantic rich objects (SROs) for exposing functionality of the process. Each of the SROs includes metadata associated with an action and an execution environment therefor. In response to an interactive gesture from a user selecting at least one of the SROs to perform a desired action in the process, metadata is extracted from the selected SROs to determine whether the desired action is available in the execution environment of the process.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2005Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vijay Mital, Alexander Stojanovic

Patent number: 7599901Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for processing data-centric business models. An execution engine accesses a commingled data-centric application model that includes a data model for a data store and a business logic model for interacting with data entities contained in the data store. The execution engine receives an event related to the data store and identifies an involved data entity corresponding to the received event. The execution engine identifies a business logic rule indicated as affecting the involved data entity. The execution engine establishes a context for evaluating the identified business logic rule. The execution engine evaluates the conditions of the business logic rule in accordance with the established context. The execution engine executes any appropriate actions indicated in the business logic rule as a result of the conditions of the business logic rule being satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2006Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vijay Mital, Andrew Robert Miller, Alexander Stojanovic

Patent number: 7146618Abstract: An application layer protocol is provided on top of HTTP 1.0/1.1 to allow for COM Automation objects to be invoked over the Internet through IIS/ISAPI servers. The format essentially encodes the automation object's name, method to invoke, and any [in], [out], [in, out] parameters that the method signature requires, packages them up into a custom MIME type and marshals it to the ISAPI dynamic link library (DLL) on the IIS/HTTP server. There, the ISAPI DLL contains the logic to unpack the SOAP request, parses it, creates the Automation object, invokes the method with the marshaled parameters, and then returns any [out] parameters to the caller/client using the SOAP protocol. It is a stateless protocol, meaning that object lifetimes only extend to one method, and are recreated between multiple calls to the object.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2003Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gunnar Mein, Shankar Pal, Govinda Dhondu, Thulusalamatom Krishnamurthi Anand, Alexander Stojanovic, Mohsen Al-Ghosein, Paul M.

Publication number: 20050166179Abstract: The system and method of the present invention relates to the determining the specific ordering and execution of events from temporal constraints, filtering functions, and execution heuristics. To facilitate specification of event order objects be can associated with events in an object authoring system which provides for interaction, conditional behavior, and fuzzy relationships by dividing all time into past, present, and future. A user or developer can then perform all their work in the editable area marked “now.” Items that may have happened prior to the current work show up in the “past” area and items which might happen in the future show up in the “future” area. A user can then associate and/or dissociate objects associated with events in the editable area, for instance by simply loosely specifying temporal relationships or constraints amongst objects rather than specifying an exact temporal sequence directly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Inventors: David Vronay, Alexander Stojanovic, Matthew MacLaurin
