  • Publication number: 20240103923
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for executing a serverless workload on a transient infrastructure is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a request for executing a workload and at least one policy, selecting an infrastructure component of the transient infrastructure for an execution of the workload, wherein the transient infrastructure is implemented utilizing a plurality of geographically distributed computing nodes, and executing the workload on the transient infrastructure. Furthermore, the method comprises upon receiving an interfering event during the execution of the workload causing a stop of the workload execution, freezing the execution of the workload, storing intermediate results and statuses of the workload execution in a cross-domain storage system, terminating the execution of the workload, and continuing the workload execution using the intermediate results and under a constraint defined by the at least one policy.

  • Patent number: 11886921
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for implementing automated serverless runtime container allocation is provided. The method includes defining a number of runtime containers and associated characteristics required for each worker node of a plurality of worker nodes for execution of a specified workload. The specified workload is dispatched to the plurality of worker nodes and a specified portion of the specified workload is assigned to each worker node. An application executing a universal runtime container that includes potential application runtimes and associated supported software versions within a layered modifiable format is generated and unused layers are removed from the universal runtime container. The specified workload is executed via the universal runtime container and a set of available universal runtime containers is refilled on an associated work node.

  • Patent number: 11593417
    Abstract: In an approach, a processor groups documents into a plurality of groups based on similarity, where: documents of each group have a same document structure; and the document structure is defined by coordinates of text blocks. A processor, for each group of the plurality of groups and for each document of the respective group: retrieves a value of each text block of the respective document in accordance with a document structure of the group; and assigns to each text block of the respective document an attribute that represents the retrieved value of the text block. A processor assigns a first document of the documents to an entity of a database that matches the first document based on the group of text block values and the assigned attributes of the document.

  • Publication number: 20220108126
    Abstract: A computer device identifies a set of documents for classification. The computing device classifies documents of a first subset of the set of documents based, at least in part, on a text analysis of the documents of the first subset. The computing device trains a document classifier using, as training data: (i) results of the classifying of the documents of the first subset, and (ii) metadata associated with the documents of the first subset. The computing device classifies documents of a second subset of the set of documents by providing metadata of the documents of the second subset to the trained document classifier.

  • Patent number: 11157470
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for data quality delta analysis on a dataset. The method provides a set of data quality rules for the dataset. At least one delta rule of a set of data quality rules is defined as relevant for delta analysis of at least part of the dataset, the delta rule being a delta analysis quality rule. Data changes on the dataset are tracked. In response to determining that a number of modified records of the at least part of the dataset is higher than a predefined insert modification threshold, a data quality score may be determined for said modified records using the delta rule.

  • Patent number: 10956384
    Abstract: Processing a set of records, each record of the dataset having multiple attributes, including a dimension group of attributes and a measure group of attributes. Each record of the dataset is processed by: comparing a current value of at least one attribute of the record's dimension group with a previous value of the attribute in a previously processed record and creating a new record. The value of each attribute of the new record is determined as a combination of the values of the attribute in the set of records. The values of each attribute of the new record are associated with a quality score determined as a combination of quality scores of the attribute in the set of records.

  • Patent number: 10565172
    Abstract: A present invention embodiment adjusts application of a set of data quality rules for data within one or more reports. A first report field is selected that receives data from a same source data field as at least one second report field within the one or more reports. An active data quality rule associated with the at least one second report field is identified that is inactive for the first report field. An effectiveness of the identified data quality rule is determined for data quality of the first report field. Application of a set of data quality rules is adjusted for the first report field to include the identified data quality rule in response to the effectiveness satisfying a threshold.
