  • Patent number: 11921475
    Abstract: A control system controls tenant services to various tenants by obtaining tenant attributes for each tenant, with respect to a particular workload. A model is generated that models tenant usage performance for a set of best performing tenants. The model is then applied to a remainder of the tenants to obtain a metric indicative of a likely tenant capacity for incremental usage of the workload. The control system controls the services provided to the tenant based upon the likelihood of adoption metric.

  • Patent number: 11657111
    Abstract: A data-fetching and data-rendering system may, in response to receiving a page display request, construct a static, possibly nested query for retrieving all the data to be rendered for the page and store the query result in a data store. For a future page display request, the system may similarly construct a query and determine whether the query can be resolved from the data store. If not, the system may construct a “diff query” to fetch only the missing data. In some embodiments, in response to a subsequent page update request, the system may retrieve from the server all the data likely to be viewed or updated and render the data changes corresponding to the requested update. The system may then submit the data changes to the server and undo the rendering of the data changes when the server fails to process the data changes.

Identifier collisions are determined in historical event data based on short identifiers associated with a first event location and short identifiers associated with a second event location geographically dispersed from the first event location. Behavior analytics are performed on short identifiers in the historical event data to generate behavioral models associated with the short identifiers. Adjusted behavioral models are generated based on the determined identifier collisions. A short identifier is obtained from a client device, and based on the short identifier, an adjusted behavioral model of the adjusted behavioral models is determined. An expected event frequency is determined based on the adjusted behavioral model and an actual event frequency is determined.

  • Patent number: 11327975
    Abstract: Generating and providing match justifications in association with record matching results for improved record matching is provided. An entity resolution system generates a set of deterministic rules based on patterns of attribute comparison outcomes of known matched and unmatched records. Each rule includes matching conditions and an action instruction including a message of a justification for a match/non-match. The system receives a request to determine a match between two records. A matching engine compares various attributes of the records using probabilistic matching technologies to determine a match outcome. A justification engine compares attribute comparison outcomes to the stored rules. When the matching conditions of a rule are satisfied, the rule is activated and a human-readable justification is linked to the match output and provided in a match response. The justification provides insights into the match outcome, and improves the speed and accuracy of a verification process of the match output.

  • Patent number: 10713597
    Abstract: Historical data used to train machine learning algorithms can have thousands of records with hundreds of fields, and inevitably includes faulty data that affects the accuracy and utility of a primary model machine learning algorithm. To improve dataset integrity it is segregated into a clean dataset having no invalid data values and a faulty dataset having the invalid data values. The clean dataset is used to produce a secondary model machine learning algorithm trained to generate from plural complete data records a replacement value for a single invalid data value in a data record, and a tertiary model machine learning clustering algorithm trained to generate from plural complete data records replacement values for multiple invalid data values. Substituting the replacement data values for invalid data values in the faulty dataset creates augmented training data which is combined with clean data to train a more accurate and useful primary model.

An information score is then assigned to each quasi-identifying (QI) value of the one or more quasi-identifying fields associated with the data subject profile. The assigned information scores of the quasi-identifying values for the data subject profile are aggregated into an aggregated information value. An anonymity value is then calculated from the aggregated information value and a size of a population associated with the dataset. A re-identification metric for the individual from the anonymity value is then calculated.

  • Patent number: 10678695
    Abstract: Methods and migration units for use in out-of-order processors for migrating data to register file caches associated with functional units of the processor to satisfy register read operations. The migration unit receives register read operations to be executed for a particular functional unit. The migration unit reviews entries in a register renaming table to determine if the particular functional unit has recently accessed the source register and thus is likely to comprise an entry for the source register in its register file cache. In particular, the register renaming table comprises entries for physical registers that indicate what functional units have accessed the physical register. If the particular functional unit has not accessed the particular physical register the migration unit migrates data to the register file cache associated with the particular functional unit.

  • Patent number: 10673766
    Abstract: Disclosed is a variable-size sampling method under a data-streaming environment, including: calculating a maximum window size that satisfies a lower limitation of a predetermined uniformity confidence level at all times; inputting a data stream to be sampled; comparing a data stream length input until a current time point with the maximum window size; inspecting a sample size and a sampling fraction if the maximum window size is larger than the data stream length; performing sampling by generating a slot to increase the sample size if the current sample size is smaller than a predetermined percentage (P %) of the data stream; and directly performing sampling without generating a slot if the current sample size is equal to or larger than the predetermined percentage (P %) of the data stream. As a result, degradation of uniformity confidence during variable-size sampling under a real-time streaming environment can be prevented to improve sampling performance.

  • Patent number: 10607598
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to the determination of data that is indicative of a greater range of speech properties than input text data. The determined data may be used as input to one or more speech processing tasks, such as model training, model validation, model testing, or classification. For example, after a model is trained based on the determined data, the model's performance may exhibit more resilience to a wider range of speech properties. The determined data may include one or more modified versions of the input text data. The one or more modified versions may be associated with the one or more speakers or accents and/or may be associated with one or more levels of semantic similarity in relation to the input text data. The one or more modified versions may be determined based on one or more machine learning algorithms.

  • Patent number: 10318262
    Abstract: Architecture that computes smart-hashes (checksums) in a central server, and in a language agnostic way. The process comprises: decompiling the binaries using language/platform specific tool(s); applying configurable filtering of the decompiled output and only keeping contents that are semantically relevant; generating a hash (checksum) on those filtered semantically relevant content; and, downloading to each of the machines in the data-center a checksum list from a repository. When an assembly is requested to be loaded on a server, a check is made if another assembly with the same checksum has already been loaded on the server: if yes, the assemblies are semantically same, and hence, the download is not completed, and the assembly already present on the server is used.
