  • Patent number: 10467412
    Abstract: A system determines a first volume of out-calls of a first out-call type made by a software container that is executing an application during a time period. The system determines a second volume of out-calls of a second out-call type made by the software container. The system determines a first ratio of the first volume to a combined volume of out-calls of all out-call types made by the software container. The system determines a second ratio of the second volume to the combined volume of out-calls of all out-call types made by the software container. The system determines a measure by comparing the first ratio to a third ratio associated with the first out-call type, and by comparing the second ratio to a fourth ratio associated with the second out-call type. The system identifies any behavior or any application type associated with the application, based on the measure.

  • Patent number: 10467292
    Abstract: Suggesting query items based on database fields is described. A database system receives a character sequence entered in a search box. The database system identifies a first distribution of first field-based items that include the character sequence, and a second distribution of second field-based items that include the character sequence. The database system identifies a first item based on combining the first distribution with a distribution of queried fields, and a second item based on combining the second distribution with the distribution of queried fields. The database system outputs the first item and the second item to a location associated with the search box. The database system executes a search based on any requested item, in response to receiving a request to search for any item output to the location associated with the search box.

  • Patent number: 10460203
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods include pre-calculation, per object, of object feature bin values, for identifying close matches between objects, such as text documents, that have numerous weighted features, such as specific-length word sequences. Predetermined feature weights get scaled with two or more selected adjacent scaling factors, and randomly rounded. The expanded set of weighted features of an object gets min-hashed into a predetermined number of feature bins. For each feature that qualifies to be inserted by min-hashing into a particular feature bin, and across successive feature bins, the expanded set of weighted features get min-hashed and circularly smeared into the predetermined number of feature bins. Completed pre-calculated sets of feature bin values for each scaling of the object, together with the scaling factor, are stored for use in comparing sampled features of the object with sampled features of other objects by calculating an estimated Jaccard similarity index.
