  • Patent number: 9514205
    Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods are disclosed for importing data from electronic data files. In accordance with some embodiments, source electronic data files are received at a data importation system and managed by the data importation system. The data importation system may apply detector/transformer plugins to the received source electronic data files to transform the files for importation into one or more data analysis systems and/or databases. The data importation system may also receive user inputs for mapping source electronic data files to transformation templates. The inputs may include, for example, an assignment of a file format to the source electronic data file, identification of a file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file, and a mapping of a the source electronic data file to a transformation template. The data importation system may store the received inputs as a file type profile in a database.

  • Patent number: 9501507
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a data analysis system for analyzing data object collections that include geo-temporal data is provided. One or more temporal granularities are specified for the purpose of generating a geo-temporal data index. The time granularities correspond to temporal ranges expected to correspond to temporal ranges specified in user queries against the data. One or more temporal index bucket groups are generated based on to the specified time granularities. Geo-temporal input data is indexed based on the generated temporal index bucket groups. The system allows a data analyst to specify geo-temporal queries that include both geospatial component and a temporal component. The system transforms geo-temporal queries into one or more second queries that retrieve data items based on the temporal index bucket groups.

  • Patent number: 9501761
    Abstract: A computer-based investigative analysis system is disclosed in which a user can share results of an investigation with other users in a way that allows the sharing user to visualize how the results will be shared before they are shared. The results are shared in the form of a visual graph having nodes, edges, and other presentation elements. The nodes represent data objects that are the subject of the investigation and the edges represent connections between the data objects. The graph is shared in the form of an automatically generated redacted graph omitting nodes, edges, and presentation elements for which the other users do not have permission to view. Before sharing the graph, the sharing user is presented with a visualization of the automatically generated redacted graph providing the user an opportunity to confirm that sharing the redacted graph will not constitute an unauthorized information leakage.

  • Patent number: 9501851
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided that display various graphs in an interactive user interface in substantially real-time in response to input from a user in order to determine information related to measured data points and provide the determined information to the user in the interactive user interface. For example, a computing device may be configured to retrieve data from one or more databases and generate one or more interactive user interfaces. The one or more interactive user interfaces may display the retrieved data in one or more graphs, such as time-series or scatterplots. The user interface may be interactive in that a user may manipulate one graph, which causes an identical or nearly identical manipulation of another displayed graph in real-time. The manipulations may occur even if the displayed graphs include data across different time ranges.

  • Patent number: 9485265
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided that retrieve raw data from issuers, reorganize the raw data, analyze the reorganized data to determine whether the risky or malicious activity is occurring, and generate alerts to notify users of possible malicious activity. For example, the raw data is included in a plurality of tables. The system joins one or more tables to reorganize the data using several filtering techniques to reduce the processor load required to perform the join operation. Once the data is reorganized, the system executes one or more rules to analyze the reorganized data. Each rule is associated with a malicious activity. If any of the rules indicate that malicious activity is occurring, the system generates an alert for display to a user in an interactive user interface.

  • Patent number: 9471370
    Abstract: A batching module that inspects call stacks within a stack evaluator to identify current expressions that can be evaluated in batch with other expressions. If such expressions are identified, the corresponding stacks are blocked from further processing and a batch processing request for processing the expressions is transmitted to the application server. The application server processes the expressions in batch and generates a value for each of the expressions. The blocked stacks are then populated with the values for the expressions.

  • Patent number: 9454564
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to performing agnostic data integrity checks on source data, and based on the data integrity checks, generating a human-readable report that may be useable to identify specific errors or anomalies within the source data. Example embodiments involve systems and methods for performing the data integrity checks and generating the human-readable reports. For example, the method may include operations to ingest data from a source database through a data pipeline and into a local database, access the data from the data pipeline, determine a data type of the data, determine subtypes of data elements which make up the data, determine a count of each subtype, and generate a human-readable report, to be displayed at a client device.

  • Patent number: 9456000
    Abstract: A data analysis system receives potentially undesirable electronic communications and automatically groups them in computationally-efficient data clusters, automatically analyze those data clusters, automatically tags and groups those data clusters, and provides results of the automated analysis and grouping in an optimized way to an analyst. The automated analysis of the data clusters may include an automated application of various criteria or rules so as to generate an ordered display of the groups of related data clusters such that the analyst may quickly and efficiently evaluate the groups of data clusters. In particular, the groups of data clusters may be dynamically re-grouped and/or filtered in an interactive user interface so as to enable an analyst to quickly navigate among information associated with various groups of data clusters and efficiently evaluate those data clusters.
