Abstract: Techniques of contextual data analysis in distributed computing systems are disclosed herein. In one example, upon receiving operational data and attribute data representing attributes of multiple entities in the distributed computing system, a decision tree is generated based on the received operational and attribute data via machine learning. The decision tree has a root and multiple branches each representing a set of the attributes in the attribute data and a corresponding probability value representing a likelihood that one of the multiple components with the set of the attributes would be associated with an event in the distributed computing system. The multiple branches can then be parsed to identify a common subset of the attributes of the multiple components as most closely related to an occurrence of the event in the distributed computing system.

Abstract: The systems and methods may provide users with an interactive way to form a definition of a business process and later use the business process definition to get a variety of metrics that quantify process cost for the specified process and help users understand how much collaboration happened for a specific process. The systems and methods may also provide capabilities to refine or streamline the business processes for efficiency.

Abstract: A system and method for applying noise to data is described. The system accesses a metric value of a metric of each user from a group of users of an application. The metric indicates a measure of an operation of the application by a corresponding user. The system generates noise values and defines a distribution of the noise values to the group of users. The system modifies the metric value of the metric of each user with a corresponding noise value from the noise values based on the distribution.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes improving collaboration between users in a user network based on collaboration strength and collaboration diversity. Collaboration data associated with collaboration activity between a user network is collected. Based on the collaboration data, collaboration ties of the user accounts are identified, wherein each collaboration tie is associated with a source user account and a target user account. For each collaboration tie, a tie strength score and a tie diversity score are determined based on the collaboration data. Each collaboration tie is then classified as a strong tie or a weak tie based on a tie strength threshold and as a diverse tie or a nondiverse tie based on a tie diversity threshold. Based on analysis of the classifications of the collaboration ties, a recommended action is generated and provided via a collaboration interface, whereby the collaboration interface enables collaboration of the user network to be improved.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes generating and presenting a benchmark to a target entity. A peer group of entities associated with the target entity is determined based on at least one attribute of the target entity. Behavior data of the target entity and behavior data of the entities of the peer group is identified and the behavior data of the entities of the peer group is transformed using adjustment values, wherein the transformed behavior data differs from corresponding behavior data of the entities of the peer group by less than an accuracy threshold. Benchmark data of the benchmark associated with the behavior category is generated based on the behavior data associated with the target entity and the transformed behavior data associated with the entities of the peer group and the benchmark data of the benchmark is presented as a benchmark visualization via a user interface.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring an application is described. The system identifies user collaboration data of users of an application. The user collaboration data indicates durations of collaborations between one or more users using the application. The system computes an influencer score of a first user based on the duration of collaborations between the first user and the other users. The system determines that the influencer score of the first user exceeds an influencer score threshold and generates a configuration setting of the application for the first user. The system applies the configuration setting to the application for the first user.

Abstract: A system and method for determining collaboration metrics of an application is described. The system accesses user activity data of an application from a plurality of user accounts of an enterprise. Collaboration metrics for each user account are identified based on the corresponding user activity data. The system identifies a first group and a second group of user accounts from the plurality of user accounts. The system generates a recommendation of a configuration setting of the application for the second group of user accounts. A graphical user interface (GUI) indicates the first group and the second group of user accounts, and the recommendation of the configuration setting of the application for the second group of user accounts.
