Publication number: 20170109652Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a hierarchical representation containing a set of namespaces of a set of features shared by a set of statistical models. Next, the system uses the hierarchical representation to obtain, from one or more execution environments, a subset of the features for use in calculating the derived feature. The system then applies a formula from the hierarchical representation to the subset of the features to produce the derived feature. Finally, the system provides the derived feature for use by one or more of the statistical models.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2016Publication date: April 20, 2017Applicant: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: David J.

Patent number: 9626654Abstract: Learning to rank modeling in the context of an on-line social network is described. A learning to rank model can learn from pairwise preference (e.g., job posting A is more relevant than job posting B for a particular member profile) thus directly optimizing for the rank order of job postings for each member profile. With ranking position taken into consideration during training, top-ranked job postings may be treated by a recommendation system as being of more importance than lower-ranked job postings. In addition, a learning to rank approach may also result in an equal optimization across all member profiles and help minimize bias towards those member profiles that have been paired with a larger number of job postings.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Lijun Tang, Eric Huang, Xu Miao, Yitong Zhou, David Hardtke, Joel Daniel Young

Patent number: 9529833Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for graph pruning. During operation, the system identifies a connected component in a graph comprising one or more vertices. A respective vertex of the graph represent an element in a data set, an edge between two vertices represents a type and strength of relationship between the vertices. The system identifies a connected component to be smaller than a minimum graph traversal threshold associated with a query for the graph. This minimum graph traversal threshold indicates a minimum number of traversal steps needed for the query. The system then generates a second graph by pruning the connected component from the graph. This second graph is processed to extract information of interest from the data set.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: PALO ALTO RESEARCH CENTER INCORPORATEDInventors: Eric Huang, Rong Zhou

Publication number: 20160070759Abstract: Real-time responsiveness to queries regarding data in a relational database can be improved by performing in parallel continuous construction of a graph model of the data and answering the queries based on the graph model. Two processing threads are ran in parallel. The main thread receives user queries regarding data in a database and answers the queries based on a graph data structure stored as a graph model of the data. The main thread also starts a graph update thread, which continuously updates the graph model by requesting a server managing the database to build a description of a graph representative of the data, receiving the description, and storing the description in an initialized graph data structure. The graph data structure previously stored as the graph model is swapped for a more recently completed data structure that represents the data at a later point of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2014Publication date: March 10, 2016Inventor: Eric Huang

Publication number: 20150193854Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for generating a product recommendation by translating transaction data to graph representation for input to a graph analytics application. During operation, the system generates a transaction table to store transaction data, a customer table to store customer data, and a product table to store products data. The system generates a table containing topology and edge identifier information and a table containing edge attribute information. Next, the system generates headers that include data describing the customer table and/or the product table and/or the table containing edge attribute information. The system then generates files containing the one or more headers and data from the tables, in which the data describes a graph with edges representing transactions and vertices representing customers or products. Subsequently, the system submits the one or more files as input to the graph analytics application to generate a product recommendation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2014Publication date: July 9, 2015Applicant: Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Eric Huang, Rong Zhou, Daniel Davies
