Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically determining and providing personalized user personas of a customer for specific platforms (e.g., applications). In some examples, a computing device receives a persona request identifying a user and a platform. In response, the computing device obtains user data associated with the user and a plurality of potential user personas from a database. For each of the plurality of potential user personas, the computing device then determines a combination score for the user based on the user data. The combination score indicates user's affinity to a corresponding potential user persona within the platform. The computing device selects at least one potential user persona of the plurality of potential user personas as a final user persona for the user and the platform based on the corresponding combination score.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for processing requests for performing operations on resources in a software defined datacenter (SDDC). The resources are software-defined (SD) resources in some embodiments. The method initially receives a request to perform an operation with respect to a first resource in the SDDC.

In some embodiments, several sets of attributes for several policies can be expressed for resources at different hierarchal resource levels of the SDDC. The method rejects the received request when the identified policy specifies that the requested operation violates a constraint on operations specified for the first resource.

Abstract: A data analysis system stores in-memory representation of a distributed data structure across a plurality of processors of a parallel or distributed system. Client applications interact with the in-memory distributed data structure to process queries using the in-memory distributed data structure and to modify the in-memory distributed data structure. The data analysis system creates uniform resource identifier (URI) to identify each in-memory distributed data structure. The URI can be communicated from one client application to another application using communication mechanisms outside the data analysis system, for example, by email, thereby allowing other client devices to interact with a particular in-memory distributed data structure. The in-memory distributed data structure can be a machine learning model that is trained by one client device and executed by another client device. A client application can interact with the in-memory distributed data structure using different programming languages.

Abstract: A Multilevel Security (MLS) server provides MLS functionality to single-level applications running on a remote Multiple Independent Level Security (MILS) or MLS client device. More specifically, the MLS server provides a plurality of different security domains in which applications can execute. The client device executes a single-level application in a first security domain, the single-level application not natively capable of communicating with other domains. The single-level application in the first security domain sends a request to the MLS server. The MLS server receives the request, passing it to all applicable domains, including a second security domain, where it is duly executed. The MLS server then provides the results of the request execution—if any—back to an appropriate application on the client device.

Abstract: A system that persistently maintains and exposes one or more previous object hierarchies to which an object belonged across one or more hierarchy destroying operations, such as operations that delete parent objects, add parent objects subsequent to addition of their descendent objects, forward objects to or from the hierarchy, and/or modify hierarchy determining rules. A user interface object allows user access to one or more persistent hierarchies for the corresponding object. A hierarchy list or the like allows a user to select a desired one of the persistent hierarchies. A persistent hierarchy can be accessed in the disclosed system through a display object associated with any object within the hierarchy, including the root, leaves, and any intervening objects. When objects are deleted, “ghost” objects are maintained and displayed to the user in the hierarchical positions of the deleted objects when a persistent hierarchy is displayed.

An interactive graphical lattice-based representation of the alternative text segments is then presented to the user. One or more words of each alternative text segment represents a “node” of the lattice, while each connection between nodes represents a lattice “edge. Both nodes and edges are user modifiable. Each possible path through the lattice corresponds to a different alternative text segment. Users select a path through the lattice to select an alternative text to the original input.

Abstract: Policy-based, cell-level access control is provided in association with a sorted, distributed key-value data store. As data representing a hierarchical document is ingested into the data store, the data is interpreted to identify fields and any sub-fields in the document, each identified field and its associated protection level as identified are translated into a set of one or more fieldname and visibility label pairs. Each fieldname and visibility label pair has a fieldname identifying a field and its zero or more sub-fields, together with a visibility label that is a function of the associated protection levels of the field and any sub-fields therein. At query time, and in response to receipt of a query including an authorization label, the fieldname and visibility labels are applied against the authorization label in the query to control which fields in the document are retrieved and used to generate the response to the query.
