  • Publication number: 20240112815
    Abstract: A system is configured to acquire, from history data, entity data similar to target entity data which is data including a feature value of each of plurality of features related to a target entity. The history data includes entity data for each of a plurality of entities at each past time point.

  • Publication number: 20240086564
    Abstract: To improve resource utilization efficiency of query compliance check, which is check as to whether a query complies with a restriction imposed on data. The query compliance check is roughly divided into data flow policy check as to whether a data flow policy that defines a restriction on data transfer within a county or between countries is complied with, and organization rule check as to whether an organization rule that defines a restriction on sharing outside an organization is complied with, which are hierarchically configured. By analyzing a received query, a system identifies one or more data items as target input/output (I/O) data according to the query, and executes the data flow policy check on the identified one or more data items. When a result of the data flow policy check is false, the system returns a result that the query is compliance violation without executing the organization rule check.

  • Patent number: 11886459
    Abstract: A data management system includes a processor. An estimated ETL level mapping processing unit is operated on the processor to estimate existence of unregistered ETL that is ETL not registered in a repository, to calculate a degree of similarity based on matching between an existing data model and retained data, and to extract a column to be a candidate based on the degree of similarity. The existence of the unregistered ETL is estimated by estimating the presence or absence of connectedness in the ETLs on the basis of correspondence between input data and output data in ETLs by using an execution ETL log relevant to an execution history of the ETL.

  • Publication number: 20240012818
    Abstract: Provided are a data management apparatus, a data management system, and a data management method capable of creating an alternative for a useful query when a query for operating a database violates a data handling regulation of the database. When data scheduled to be generated based on the database by the query violates a rule that is the data handling regulation of the database, a data processing server generates an alternative query candidate to replace the query. The data processing server determines whether the alternative query candidate violates the rule by determining whether data scheduled to be generated based on the database by the alternative query candidate complies with the rule. When the alternative query candidate does not violate the rule, the data processing server proposes the alternative query candidate as an alternative query.

  • Publication number: 20230229937
    Abstract: To efficiently collect training data for training an AI model, an input of a training profile is received that includes item values corresponding to a plurality of data items, including analysis target data to be analyzed by the AI model and information on the model type. A first query is acquired to extract training data from a training database. The number of pieces of first training data to be extracted from the training database is calculated. The required number of pieces of the training data to train the AI model is calculated using the information on the model type. Whether the number of pieces of the first training data is equal to or greater than the required number is determined. When the determined number of pieces of the first training data is less than the required number, a supplementary query for extracting the training data is generated.
