  • Patent number: 11762924
    Abstract: Technology described herein assigns a reliability score to web content, such as a web site or portion of a website. In one aspect, an output of the technology is a high reliability score and a low reliability score for a web content. The high reliability score represents conformance to high reliability sites, while the low reliability score represents conformance to low reliability sites. The high reliability score may be generated by first identifying high reliability online content within a compressed web graph. In a first iteration, the high reliability score of the seeds is used to score online content that is linked to the seed sites. At a high level, the more links that originate from high reliability sources, the higher the reliability score for the linked content. The low reliability score is similar, but uses outgoing links to low reliability sites instead of incoming links from high reliability sites.

  • Patent number: 11755568
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for a database object (e.g., materialized table) configuration including scheduling refreshes of the materialized table. For example, a method includes determining a dependency graph for a first MT. The dependency graph comprises a second MT from which the first MT depends. The first MT includes a query on one or more base tables and a lag duration value. The lag duration value indicates a maximum time period that a result of a prior refresh of the query can lag behind a current time instance. A tick period is selected for a set of ticks based on the lag duration value. The set of ticks corresponds to a set of aligned time instances. Refresh operations are scheduled for the first and second MTs at corresponding time instances from the set of aligned time instances. The corresponding time instances are separated by the tick period.

    Abstract: The systems, methods, and computer program products for determining bins for a data model are provided. Variables in a training data set are binned into bins up to a configurable number of bins. Variables in the validation data set are also binned using the bins from the training data set. A first decision tree is generated using the bins and the binned variables from the training data set and is pruned. A second decision tree is generated using the structure of the first decision tree and the binned variables from the validation data set. The first and second decision tree are merged into a third decision tree. Leaf nodes of the third decision tree are sorted and merged until weights of evidence associated with the training data set and the validation data set are monotonic. The bins for the data model are determined from the merged leaf nodes.

  • Patent number: 11748410
    Abstract: Embodiments as disclosed herein provide a search system with an pre-indexing filter that provides both a sophisticated and contextually tailored approach to filtering documents and a corrector that is adapted to alter a document that has been designated to be filtered out from the indexing process and determine if the altered document should be indexed. The alteration of the document may be tied to the attributes, rules or thresholds used to initially filter the document from the indexing process. The filtering criteria can thus be tailored to a specific context such that both the initial filtering and the alteration process may be better suited for application in that context.

  • Patent number: 11748324
    Abstract: The technology described herein provides for identifying matching documents for a search query using a bit vector search index. When a search query is received, a term is identified from the search index, and a number of bit vectors corresponding to the term are identified. Each bit vector comprises an array of bits in which at least one bit in each bit vector indicates that a corresponding document includes the term. Each bit vector also includes other bits indicating other documents include other terms. A determination is made that an unacceptable number of possible matching documents is likely to be returned. In response to the determination, a strengthening row bit vector is selected to reduce the number of possible matching documents. The identified bit vectors and the selected strengthening row are intersected to identify matching documents that contain the term.
