USING SPECIFIED PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES TO CONFIGURE MACHINE LEARNING PIPEPLINE STAGES FOR AN ETL JOB
Publication number: 20220261413Abstract: Specified performance attributes may be used to configure machine learning transformations for ETL jobs. Performance attributes for a machine learning pipeline that applies a model to as part of a transformation for an ETL job may be used to configure a parameter in a stage of the machine learning pipeline. The configured stage may then be used when training the model. The trained machine learning pipeline may then be applied as part of a transformation operation included in an ETL job performed by the ETL system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Jones, Andrew Borthwick, Sergei Dobroshinsky, Shehzad Qureshi, Stephen Michael Ash, Pedrito Uriah Maynard-Zhang, Chethan Kommaranahalli Rudramuni, Abhishek Sharma, Juliana Saussy, Adam Lawrence Joseph Heinermann, Alaykumar Navinchandra Desai, Mehul A.

Patent number: 8997194Abstract: An system for authenticating users of an application program executing at a front-end computer using the security features built into the operating system of a logon computer is provided. Initially, an administrator establishes user accounts for each user with an operating system executing at the logon computer with access to application resources. When the application program starts executing at the front-end computer, the application program prompts the user for credentials. The application program attempts to access resources managed by the logon computer using the received credentials. When access to a resource is successful, the application program knows that the logon computer has authenticated the user and the user is authorized to access the resource. In this manner, the application program can take advantage of the security features built into the operating system executing at the logon computer to authenticate users of the application program and authorize access to application resources.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mehul Y. Shah, Benoit Sanscartier

Patent number: 8972459Abstract: The described implementations relate to updating views in a database system. One implementation can identify an active view that retrieves records from a database and determine one or more physical tables in the database that are referenced by the active view. The implementation can track one or more columns in the physical tables that are used by the active view and identify a change to the physical tables in a transaction log of the database. If the change does not affect the one or more columns, the change can be treated as an ignorable change for the active view.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kishore R.

Publication number: 20130110542Abstract: This patent relates to patient data and more specifically to accessing and managing patient data. One example can generate a user interface from which a user can select predefined entities for use by a health care management application, wherein the entities abstract the health care management application from underlying patient data. This example can allow the user to select an individual predefined entity from the list or define a different entity on the user interface. This example can also enable the user to associate the individual entity or the different entity with a semantic tag.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Jayaram R. Iyer, Benjamin L. Chronister, Jay W. Daugherty, David R. Stelts, JR., Peter G. Burns, Bryan Dove, Kishore R. Chaliparambil, Mahmood G. Qadir, Mehul Y. Shah

Patent number: 8260668Abstract: A method and system for providing an extensible framework for a POS application is provided. A POS application may be extended using a payment format add-in, a workflow add-in, a financial services provider add-in, or a combination of add-ins. A payment format add-in provides support for a payment format not included in the payment formats built into the POS application. A workflow add-in provides a configurable workflow that can be used to extend a built-in payment format or a payment format add-in. A financial services provider add-in provides support for interacting with a financial services provider for which the POS application does not provide built-in support. Each add-in can implement, for example, logic for processing a payment transaction, a portion of a payment transaction, and configuring steps for processing a payment transaction.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2011Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mehul Y.

Patent number: 8095561Abstract: A modular framework for data import/export in an application that allows modules/components to be independently developed for importing and exporting data related to specific entities, including the handling of dependencies between entities. The framework is metadata driven which allows new entities to be introduced in the application with new modules for importing/exporting data related to those entities, without updating modules for exporting existing entities. Each type of entity is defined with a schema that represents the logical entity such that the entity is agnostic as to how the entity data is stored in database tables. A master configuration file is created for the application that lists each entity that can be imported or exported by the application, and defines how the framework imports or exports the business entity. Additionally, dynamic batching is provided to divide large datasets into multiple batches for suitable consumption by consumers of the exported data.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2009Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Bin Lu, Mehul Y.

Publication number: 20110320433Abstract: Described is associating metadata with different sources of data (e.g., database tables) that allows a single view of data from the sources to be created. An administrator creates baseviews corresponding to database tables and associates metadata with the baseviews, including primary key metadata for the baseviews and meta-tags for one or more of the columns of each baseview. A user selects fields (corresponding to table columns) from a starting baseview, along with fields from any other baseview that has metadata that matches the starting baseview's metadata. A join mechanism automatically creates the view if a metadata match is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2010Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Imran Mohiuddin, Mahmood Gulam Qadir, Yi Miao, Bryan Jason Dove, Jonathan Alan Handler, Craig F.

Patent number: 7861167Abstract: Dynamically configuring an application program at run-time via one or more extension objects. The invention software implements a framework with one or more extension objects providing functionality to an application program and an application manager for integrating the functionality with the application program during execution of the application program. The framework of the invention also formulates and routes application messages between extensible objects of one application program and extensible objects of other application programs implementing a similar, dynamically extensible application program framework. On receipt of messages or notifications, the framework of the receiving application program facilitates the discovery of the intended recipient extension object and routes the message accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2006Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Joseph P.
