Abstract: Systems and methods for data quality monitoring are provided. Various embodiments include a data monitoring system that integrates into a data pipeline. The data monitoring system may receive a call from the data pipeline to analyze data inputs entering the data pipeline. The monitoring system can generate metadata describing the data inputs and compare the generated metadata with previously generated metadata to determine if the data inputs are historically consistent. The data monitoring system may return a consistency measure to the data pipeline. In further embodiments, the data monitoring system can generate metadata describing data outputs from the data pipeline and compare the output metadata to previously generated output metadata. In further embodiments, the data monitoring system may operate as a read only entity in a database. The monitoring system may monitor for changes in the database and determine when adverse changes occur in the database.

Abstract: A method for low-latency data mirroring in a storage system, the method may include receiving, by a compute node of the storage system, a read request for reading a data unit stored at a primary storage block of the storage system; determining, by the compute node and based on primary storage block metadata, whether a content of the primary storage block is consistent; and responding to the determining of whether the content of the primary storage block is consistent. The responding may include (a) when determining that the primary storage block is inconsistent—copying the data unit from the primary storage block to a secondary storage block of the storage system, and updating the primary storage block metadata; and (b) reading the data unit from the primary storage block and sending the data unit to a requesting entity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a media segment of audio or video content are described. The video segment is identified by deriving data from media content and comparing said data to a reference database in order to identify said video segment. Embodiments of the invention improve the speed and accuracy of the media identification process by advantageously partitioning the indexes in subdivisions where high value reference information is separated from the bulk information, for example.

Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The tunnel device is selected based on an attribute, such as IP Geolocation. A tunnel bank server stores a list of available tunnels that may be used, associated with values of various attribute types. The tunnel devices initiate communication with the tunnel bank server, and stays connected to it, for allowing a communication session initiated by the tunnel bank server. Upon receiving a request from a client to a content and for specific attribute types and values, a tunnel is selected by the tunnel bank server, and is used as a tunnel for retrieving the required content from the web server, using standard protocol such as SOCKS, WebSocket or HTTP Proxy. The client only communicates with a super proxy server that manages the content fetching scheme.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein analyze one or more selected data sources in their entirety and determine data relationships, using a single-branch approach. Indexes are created based on the determined data relationships, and data from the one or more data sets is imported into the indexes and stored in a back-end storage system. Once the data is analyzed and stored in the indexes, a user can submit a request for a data visualization. In response to the request, the system automatically generates (e.g., builds) and displays the requested data visualization to the user. In some examples, the user may request a modification of the data visualization such as changing the timeframe shown in the data visualization or adding/removing data associated with a particular parameter, and the system will automatically generate the modified data visualization for the user.

Abstract: A method for providing and managing non-direct URL fetching service for retrieving a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, such as for overcoming geo-blocking or a Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack. The non-direct fetching method may use intermediate devices, such as proxy server, Data-Center proxy server, tunnel devices, or any combination thereof. A URL request may be sent in parallel using both direct and non-direct fetching schemes, in order to verify the need for using the non-direct fetching service. Direct or non-direct fetching scheme may be selected by using a file that associates a fetching scheme to the requested URL. The selection of the fetching mechanism may use dynamically in real-time updating of a Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file. As part of an accounting scheme, quotas may be applied to a cumulative received data or a time duration of using a non-direct fetching service.
