Abstract: Techniques for enhancing actionable opportunities through machine learning are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system includes an event listener for detecting an opportunity to perform an action using one or more computing resources. When a new opportunity is detected, the system generates a set of search criteria, which is used to search a set of external web resources for current events. The system may then generate, using a machine learning model as a function of one or more features extracted from current events satisfying the search criteria, a score representing a likelihood of success that the action leads to an optimal result. The system may tune the machine learning model based on feedback received that is indicative of how the current events affected the likelihood of success for the action.

Abstract: Techniques for recommending runbook operations during a runbook generation process are disclosed. A system recommends operations for including in the runbook based on attributes of a detected event. The system presents event attributes associated with the detected event to a user in a runbook generation interface. When the user selects an event attribute, the system presents a set of candidate runbook operations associated with the event attribute. Based on user selections of runbook operations to include in a runbook, the system generates and stores a template of the runbook in which the attribute values associated with the detected event are omitted. Upon execution of the runbook at a future time, the system, or a user, may populate the event attributes in the runbook with values that correspond to the future event of the same event type.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention involve discourse trees. In some aspects, a system creates a discourse tree by identifying elementary discourse units in text. The discourse tree includes nodes, each nonterminal node representing a rhetorical relationship between two elementary discourse units and each terminal node associated with an elementary discourse unit. The system identifies, in a reference sentence of the discourse tree, a rhetorical relation of type elaboration or joint. The system selects a candidate sentence having a highest syntactic generalization score of a set of syntactic generalization scores. The system identifies a semantic relation corresponding to the candidate sentence. The semantic relation corresponds to a word in the candidate sentence and defines a role in the candidate sentence.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for generating a data throughput estimation model. A system may be monitored to measure both (a) data throughput and (b) computing statistics of one or more computing resources to generate an initial data set. The relationship between the data throughput and the computing statistics, in the initial data set, is used to generate a data throughput estimation model. The data throughput estimation model may be generated using a machine learning model, a neural network algorithm, boosting decision tree algorithm, and/or a random forest decision tree algorithm. Additional measurements of the computing resource statistics may be applied to the data throughput estimation model to estimate data throughput.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention involve discourse trees. In an example, a method involves generating a discourse tree. The method includes identifying, from the discourse tree, a central entity that is associated with a rhetorical relation of type elaboration and corresponds to a topic node that identifies a central entity of the text. The method includes determining a subset of elementary discourse units of the discourse tree that are associated with the central entity. The method includes forming generalized phrases from the subset of elementary discourse units. The method includes forming tuples from the generalized phrases, where a tuple is an ordered set of words in normal form. The method involves responsive to successfully converting an elementary discourse unit associated with an identified tuple into a logical representation, updating the ontology with an entity from the identified tuple.

Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying root cause anomalies in time series. Information to be used for root cause analysis (RCA) is obtained from a graph neural network (GNN) and is used to construct a dependency graph having nodes corresponding to each time series and directed edges corresponding to dependencies between the time series. Nodes corresponding to time series that do not contain anomalies may be removed from this dependency graph, as well as edges connected to these nodes. This edge and node removal may result in the creation of one or more sub-graphs from the dependency graph. A root cause analysis algorithm may be run on these one or more sub-graphs to create a root cause graph for each sub-graph. These root cause graphs may then be used to identify root cause anomalies within the multiple time series, as well as sequences of anomalies within the multiple time series.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to improving efficiency of data analytics performed on sets of entity data in which different entity properties having very different update frequencies. Time-based analytical queries track the entity states at each moment within a given time window. Analytical queries are executed over a massive number of entity states while using a reasonable memory footprint. The technique partitions the entity properties into partial historical snapshots of data and combines the partial snapshots on demand only as needed to execute analytical queries over business entities. A complete entity state having values for all entity properties is not required to execute most queries. Only partial snapshots including values referenced by the query need to be combined to satisfy the query. Using partial snapshots minimizes data replication, and the snapshots can be efficiently combined into entity states sufficient for query execution.

The patch management server keeps track of update results, and when an update is unsuccessful it performs and supports a remediation process. Both the patch agent and the patch management server keep full logs of the update results to allow for auditing.
