  • Patent number: 11562024
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for enumerating relationships in an object graph using traversal context objects that are decoupled from the implementation details of an object graph and the objects stored therein. An example method generally includes receiving a request to traverse an object graph, the object graph including a plurality of objects. A root context object is generated, and a traversal context object associated with a root node of the object graph is generated. The traversal context object is linked to the root context object and added to a traversal data structure. The graph is traversed by adding and removing traversal context objects to and from the traversal data structure until a terminating event occurs.

  • Patent number: 11562440
    Abstract: A method that predicts business income from user transaction data. A multinomial classifier is trained, using a vector of features from data related to a historical transaction and a label associated with the historical transaction, to generate a probability that the historical transaction belongs to a specific classification with respect to income. Data related to a new transaction is split into a set of unigrams. A new vector of features is generated from the data related to the new transaction. The new vector includes a set of values that correspond and are assigned to the set of unigrams. A classification with respect to income is determined for the new transaction by applying the multinomial classifier to the new vector. The new transaction is labeled with the classification. One or more fields of a form that is maintained by an online service is populated using the classification.

  • Patent number: 11558360
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that provides a selective encryption technique that encrypts all of the fields in a profile, and selectively enables consumers of the profile information to decrypt specific fields in the profiles. This is accomplished by encrypting each field in the profile using a randomly generated symmetric key, and then encrypting the symmetric key for each field with public keys belonging to individuals who are authorized to access each field. These encrypted public keys are stored in a header of the profile to enable individuals to use their corresponding private keys to decrypt symmetric keys for the specific fields that they are authorized to access.

  • Patent number: 11551282
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for recommending items to users of a recommendation system. In some implementations, the recommendation system determines a plurality of contribution values based on interactions between a plurality of users and a plurality of items. Each of the plurality of contribution values represents a confidence level that a respective user prefers a respective item. The recommendation system further determines a capacity of each of the plurality of items. The capacity of each item represents a maximum number of users to which the item can be recommended. The recommendation system recommends one or more items of the plurality of items to each of the plurality of users based at least in part on the plurality of contribution values and the capacities of the plurality of items.

  • Patent number: 11550895
    Abstract: A data management system manages secured data for a plurality of users. The data management system utilizes an access authorization system to authenticate users seeking access to the data management system. The access authorization system provides access tokens to authenticated users. The access tokens enable the authenticated users to access the data management system without again providing authentication data. The access authorization system includes, for each user, an access policy that governs whether the users can use the access tokens to access the data management system. The access tokens have a finite lifetime. If the users use the access tokens within the finite lifetime and if the users satisfy all of the access rules of the access policies, then the lifetime of the access tokens can be extended a finite number of times.

  • Patent number: 11551010
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating a replacement sentence with the same or similar meaning but a different sentiment than an input sentence. The method generally includes receiving a request for a replacement sentence and iteratively determining a next word of the replacement sentence word-by-word based on an input sentence. Iteratively determining the next word generally includes evaluating a set of words of the input sentence using a language model configured to output candidate sentences and evaluating the candidate sentences using a sentiment model configured to output sentiment scores for the candidates sentences. Iteratively determining the next word further includes calculating convex combinations for the candidate sentences and selecting an ending word of one of the candidate sentences as the next word of the replacement sentence. The method further includes transmitting the replacement sentence in response to the request for the replacement sentence.
