  • Patent number: 11960599
    Abstract: A computer-based system and method for classifying users of a database including obtaining an activity rate time series describing activity level of a database user versus time, extracting features from the activity rate time series, the features including a measure of repetition in the activity level, mean activity load and a percentage of the time in which the user is active, and determining a type of the database user based on the extracted at least one feature. The measure of repetition in the user activity is calculated by performing a Fourier transform on the activity rate time series to produce a transformed series; detecting spikes in the transformed series; and measuring a percentage of information in the transformed series which is included in the spikes.

  • Patent number: 11853288
    Abstract: Enhanced filter accuracy is disclosed with respect to determining whether a data element is present in a data store. The filter can correspond to a probabilistic filter with multiple levels. At each level after a representation of an original data element is captured in a data structure, a predetermined modification can be applied to the data element and a representation of the resulting modified data element can be captured in the data structure. In query operation, a check be performed for the presence or absence of an input data element and a number of modifications of the input data element, which results in a reduced false positive probability and improved accuracy. A multidimensional data structure can also be employed in conjunction with multiple levels to further improve accuracy.

    Abstract: An AI platform may receive a request for information on text. The text is processed through a text mining pipeline for dynamic attribute extraction. An engine determines entities in the text and utilizes the entities to determine a relationship pattern. The engine identifies a trigger by matching one of the entities with a predefined entity in a utility authority file, locates an entity in close proximity to the trigger, identifies a value or regular expression in close proximity to the trigger in the text, and creates a triplet containing the entity, the trigger, and the value or regular expression, the triplet representing the relationship pattern. The engine applies an action to the triplet, wherein the action comprises obtaining the value from the text or translating the regular expression. The engine attaches the value or a result from the translating to the entity as a dynamic attribute of the entity.

  • Patent number: 11481455
    Abstract: Techniques for using contextual information relating to content presented by a television as part of a search query for an information search are presented. A search management component, at a given moment in time during presentation of television-related content by a communication device in or associated with a television, identifies contextual information associated with a section of the television-related content and generates a content identifier timestamp associated with the contextual information and the section of television-related content. A search component augments a search query using the contextual information to facilitate customization of a subset of search results based on the contextual information. The contextual information in the search query can facilitate disambiguating the search query or promoting a search result over another search result in the subset of search results, based on the contextual information, to facilitate customization of the subset of search results.

  • Patent number: 11468029
    Abstract: A system, method, and machine-readable storage medium for resolving a candidate community are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes obtaining a candidate community and a neighbor set for the candidate community, the neighbor set including zero or more stable communities. The method also includes resolving the candidate community as being a new stable community if the neighbor set is empty. The method further includes resolving the candidate community as being part of a matching stable community if a hash value of the candidate community matches a hash value of one or more stable communities included in the neighbor set. The method also includes resolving the candidate community as being a new stable community if an entropy value is greater than a threshold, the entropy value being based on the candidate community and the neighbor set.

  • Patent number: 11449551
    Abstract: The present technology addresses deficiencies associated with common practices for handling out of order data in a streaming data database. An aspect of the present technology is avoid storing out of order data in a snapshot but just store the out of order data as additional data linked to the temporal graph. The present technology receives out of order data and records a modification time for the data and a next modification time for the data that equals a timestamp of data previously stored in the database. If there is also data in the database for a time earlier than the timestamp of the out of order data, the earlier data is adjusted so that its next modification time matches the timestamp of the out of order data.

  • Patent number: 11424012
    Abstract: Techniques for sectionalizing clinical documents are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system can, for each page of a clinical document: identify one or more section header candidates in the page and, for each section header candidate, attempt to classify the section header candidate as corresponding to one of a plurality of section types using a first classifier or a second classifier. The computer system can further partition the page into one or more sections based on corresponding section header candidates that have been successfully classified using either the first classifier or the second classifier, where the partitioning includes associating each section with a section type in the plurality of section types in accordance with the classification of the section's corresponding section header candidate. The computer system can then validate, for each section, the section's section type via an analysis of the body of the section.

  • Patent number: 11409772
    Abstract: A method includes training a machine learning model using a current set of labeled data points. Each of the data points is multiple data records. A label of a data point indicates a classification of the data point. The training results in a trained machine learning model configured to classify a data point as representing a same entity or different entities. The method includes selecting a subset of unlabeled data points from a current set of unlabeled data points using classification results of the current set of unlabeled data points. The method includes providing the subset of unlabeled data points to a classifier and in response to providing receiving labels of the subset of unlabeled data points. The method may be repeated using the subset of labeled data points in addition to the current set of labeled data points as the current set of labeled data points.

  • Patent number: 11379501
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products implementing hierarchical classification techniques are disclosed. A hierarchical classification system receives training data including labeled transaction records. The system determines tag sequences from the training data. The system clusters the tag sequences into clusters. The system determines a cluster-level classifier that is trained to predict a cluster for an input transaction record. The system determines a respective cluster-specific classifier for each cluster. The system trains the cluster-specific classifier to predict a label of entity of interest for an input transaction record, given a particular cluster. Upon receiving a test transaction record, the system first applies the cluster-level classifier to determine a particular cluster for the test transaction record, and then determines a label of entity of interest of the test transaction record by applying a cluster-specific classifier of that particular cluster.
