  • Publication number: 20240171885
    Abstract: By analyzing first configuration data of a set of sensors, a first configuration of the set of sensors is measured. A set of permutations of the first configuration is generated. For each permutation in the set of permutations, a corresponding set of virtual sensor data is generated. Using an analysis on each set of virtual sensor data and a set of real sensor data obtained using the first configuration, a corresponding analysis result is caused to be determined. Using the quality measure, a configuration producing a highest quality analysis result is determined. A contextual situation and the configuration are stored as a sensor configuration rule. By analyzing second configuration data of the set of sensors, a second configuration of the set of sensors is measured. The second configuration is adjusted according to the configuration specified in the sensor configuration rule.

  • Publication number: 20240169253
    Abstract: Using a first dataset of labeled data, a model is trained by adjusting a feature extractor parameter, a classifier parameter, and a discriminator parameter of the model. Using the discriminator parameter and a parametric function of the feature extractor parameter, a plurality of samples of a dataset of unlabeled data is scored. A subset of the scored plurality of samples is selected for labeling. Responsive to receiving a label of each of the selected subset of the scored plurality of samples, the first dataset of labeled data is augmented with the selected subset of the scored plurality of samples and the label of each of the selected subset of the scored plurality of samples. Using the augmented dataset of labeled data, the model is retrained. The retraining comprises further adjusting the feature extractor parameter, the classifier parameter, and the discriminator parameter of the model.

  • Patent number: 11989199
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for optimizing a flow of data within transform, load (ETL) data processing pipelines. Database columns from a source database that are to be transformed as well as not transformed in the data processing stages of a processing segment of an ETL data processing pipeline are identified. Those database columns that are to be transformed are grouped into a processing schema. Transformations are then performed on the database columns of the processing schema. Those database columns that are not to be transformed are grouped into a non-processing schema. A large object data type (LOB) is then created to reference the non-processing schema. An identifier is created and inserted in the data processing stages to identify the LOB in replace of the database columns that are not to be transformed thereby avoiding the copying of the database columns that are not to be transformed.

    Abstract: Provided are techniques for mode-specific search query processing. A current search query is received from a user, where the user has a user profile, and where the user profile has a public portion and a private portion. A query mode and a query context for the current search query are determined. In response to determining that the query mode is a guided mode, the current search query is rewritten based on the query context, the private portion of the user profile of the user, and the public portion of each corresponding user profile of each of one or more search influencers to generate a first rewritten search query; the first rewritten search query is executed to generate first search results; and the first search results are returned.

  • Patent number: 11989261
    Abstract: A computer answers a question using a data table. The computer receives a user question and a target table containing a target cell corresponding to a target answer for the user question, with the target cell corresponding to a target column and a target row. The computer generates, a first classifier to provide column correlation values reflecting the probability that a given column is the target column. The computer generates a second classifier that provides row correlation values reflecting the probability that a given row is the target row. The computer applies the first classifier to the target table to determine a column correlation value for each column. The computer applies the second classifier to the target table to determine a row correlation value for each row. The computer suggests, as the target cell, a cell having elevated column and row correlation values relative to other target table cells.
