  • Patent number: 12282498
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for accessing a database of records to identify a set of records represented by one or more nodes in a graph model. A connection between a first node and a second node in the one or more nodes is monitored to determine an association between a first record, represented by the first node, and a second record, represented by the second node. The set of records may be partitioned into a plurality of groups. For at least a first group, including a first set of records, it may be determined whether two or more records in the first group are related. In response to determining that the two or more records in the first group are related, a first group identifier may be assigned to the two or more records.

  • Patent number: 11900181
    Abstract: A data object from a data source is received by a distributed process in a data stream. The distributed process has a sequence of categories, each category containing one or more tasks that operate on the data object. The data object includes files that can be processed by the tasks. If the task is able to operate on the data object, then the data object is passed to the task. If the task is unable to operate on the data object, then the files in the data object are passed to a file staging area of the distributed process and stored in memory. The files in the file staging area are passed, in sequence, from the file staging area to the task that was unable to operate on the data object. The data object is outputted to a next category or data sink after being operated on by the task.

  • Patent number: 11709918
    Abstract: A system and method for constructing an improved computing model that preserves use rights for data utilized by the model. A first dataset is accessed to build a computing model. The first data set is subject to terminable usage rights provisions. A portion of the first dataset is sampled to generate a second dataset. Vectors present in the first dataset and the second dataset are discretized. In response to determine that the usage rights associated with the primary dataset have been terminated, a coverage depletion for the second dataset is computed based on the usage rights termination associated with the first dataset. An estimated mean time to coverage failure for the first model based on the depletion coverage is determined for the second dataset. One or more data points are removed from the first dataset due to the termination of usage rights.
