  • Patent number: 11805146
    Abstract: A modified configuration management database (CMDB) system is disclosed in which detected configuration item (CI) vulnerabilities are stored as less-resource-intensive detection objects, rather than as more-resource-intensive vulnerable item (VI) objects. The system includes a vulnerability response (VR) server that enables promotion rules to be created and periodically applied to the stored detections. When the conditions of a detection promotion rule are satisfied by information relating to a stored detection, a new VI may be created and related to the stored detection within the CMDB. The disclosed promotion rules can be configured to ensure that VIs are only automatically created for high-risk or relevant detections, substantially reducing the number of VIs to be created, stored, and managed. As such, the disclosed system substantially reduces resource consumption and improves the efficiency and operation of the CMDB.

  • Patent number: 11797527
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for operation of a feature management platform. A feature management platform is an end-to-end platform developed to manage the full lifecycle of data features. For example, to create a stateful feature, the feature management platform can receive a processing artifact from a computing device. The processing artifact defines the stateful feature, including the data source to retrieve event data from, when to retrieve the event data, the type of transform to apply, etc. Based on the processing artifact, the feature management system generates a processing job (e.g., the API defines a pipeline), which when initiated generates a vector that encapsulates the stateful feature. The vector is transmitted to the computing device that locally hosts a model, which generates a prediction that is transmitted to the feature management platform. Subsequently, the predication and stateful feature can be transmitted to other computing devices.

  • Patent number: 11768834
    Abstract: Many types of data files can only be stored in SQL databases as Blobs—Binary Large Objects, that the database can only handle as a whole. This limits searches within the Blob. Here improved methods are taught for automatically analyzing potential Blob files, and assigning at least certain classes of potential Blob files to General Data Type documents. In some cases, the potential Blob may be automatically analyzed and mapped to a JSON document type, and this JSON document type then automatically mapped into appropriate lists of JSON-document-nodes and tables that can be stored in the SQL database, and subsequently queried. This enables much data within the (to prior art) Blob to be queried at more detailed granularity. This data can then be retrieved and used to reconstruct some or all of the original General Data Type document, which would otherwise be a Blob to prior art methods.

  • Patent number: 11748362
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating the cardinality of graph pattern queries using graph statistics and metadata is presented. In various embodiments, node and edge labels are used to compute estimates for graph patterns (bi-grams) and the estimates for these patterns as composed to provide cardinality estimates of longer paths. The computation of bi-grams is low cost and requires only minimal changes to the existing query planner in the existing database machinery to be useful. The resulting estimates are used during query execution to minimize the amount of work needed to complete a query and return a faithful and accurate answer to the user. The apparatus includes modules containing computer-executable instructions to perform the above method.

  • Patent number: 11748391
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for population of online forms based on semantic and context search. In an embodiment, a system receives a query associated with a user. The system uses a first portion of text elements in the query to select a semantic ontology and to determine a requested output type of semantic object. The system identifies semantic objects of the requested output type in a data store. The system uses a second portion of the text elements in the query to identify contextual information associated with the requested output type, and uses the contextual information to retrieve knowledge-graph data associated with the user. The system filters the identified semantic objects based on the knowledge-graph data, and presents the results. The system receives a selection of a presented result, and enters the retrieved knowledge-graph data according to the selected semantic ontology into an associated fillable online form.

  • Patent number: 11748506
    Abstract: Controlling access to nodes in a relational graph at query time by using an approximate membership query (AMQ) filter and ordered queries based on historic grants or denials of access according to security context enables a more efficient querying of the relational graph while preserving access controls. Security contexts that grant or deny access to a node are stored in an associated AMQ filter and are queried according to the subject's security context in an order based on the frequency at which the security contexts have previously granted or denied access to nodes in the relational graph.

  • Patent number: 11734613
    Abstract: A central database system trains a machine-learned model based on training data identifying characteristics of account holder entities, characteristics of account provider entities, and relationships between the account holder entities and account provider entities. For a target entity, the central database system then identifies a target set of account provider entities, and applies the trained machine-learned model to identify a subset of the target set of account provider entities. The identified subset of account provider entities are entities that, if recommended to the target entity, are most likely to result in an established relationship with the target entity. A recommendation is then generated for display to the target entity, the recommendation identifying the subset of account provider entities and including interface elements that, if selected by the target entity, cause a notification identifying the target entity to be sent to a corresponding account provider entity.
