  • Patent number: 10318532
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for identifying a usage for data in a data structure. A set of configuration files associated with a set of services are analyzed to identify at least one class associate with the data in the data structure thereby forming a data structure-to-class mapping. Source code associated with the set of services is analyzed to identify a set of services used by at least one class in the data structure-to-class mapping thereby forming a service-to-class mapping. A set of specification files associated with the set of services are analyzed to identify a set of uses associated with at least one service in the service-to-class mapping thereby forming a use-to-service mapping. An identification of usage information of the data structure is generated using the data structure-to-class mapping, the service-to-class mapping, and the use-to-service mapping.

  • Patent number: 9489161
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a request to print a current web page. A set of records that represent web pages that are similar to the current web page are identified from a print log that includes at least one record, each record including an indication of a web page and indicating one or more objects that had been previously selected for printing from that web page. Based on the objects that are indicated by the identified set of records, one or more objects of the current web page are selected to be printed on a printer.

  • Patent number: 9405750
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure may include methods, systems, and computer readable media with executable instructions. An example method for determining document structure similarity can include segmenting path sequences (206) of Document Object Model (DOM) trees (120, 462) from a number of web pages (202) into B components (561). Path signals (210) corresponding to the path sequences (206) are determined based on a count of the occurrences of particular paths in the Bthe component (571), and unique path signals (210) are transformed into discrete wavelet signals (214)(572). The discrete wavelet signals (214) are analyzed at multiple DOM tree resolution levels (573).

  • Publication number: 20160154854
    Abstract: Methods and systems of generation of histograms for strings are described. In one implementation, a prefix tree having nodes representing prefixes of the strings is generated. For the prefix tree, deploy weights are assigned to the nodes based on lengths of the prefixes represented by sub-tree nodes rooted at the nodes and frequencies of the strings whose prefixes are represented by the sub-tree nodes. Each of the deploy weights of one node is indicative of a maximum weight preserved upon filling the buckets with at least one prefix represented by the sub-tree nodes rooted at that one node. A predefined number of Top-prefixes are determined for filling up the predefined number of buckets. The Top-prefixes are determined based on maximizing a total weight preserved by the prefixes in the buckets and over a maximum number of strings. A histogram is generated based on the deploy weights associated with the Top-prefixes.
