Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for recommending an event to a user. In some implementations, one or more servers receive information identifying a plurality of events. The one or more servers store data of the plurality of events in a first one or more data tables having an action field, an item field, and a user field, and analyze the data of the first one or more data tables to generate one or more pairs, each pair including information identifying a set of events and a target event. The one or more servers may calculate a similarity score for each of the one or more pairs and store the respective similarity score in a second one or more data table having a set field, a target event field, and a similarity score field.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with a content object from an on-demand database service. The content object can be stored in an external content management data source. Access can be established with the external content object using information data identifying the content object, where the information data identifying the content object can be stored in a persistent object in a database of the on-demand database service. An indication of an event requesting interaction with the content object can be received. The persistent object can be updated to reflect the interaction with the content object.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to identifying accounts and prospects nearby a salesman's location based on his real-time goal statuses and pre-assigned preferences. In particular, it relates to locating those accounts and prospects in the salesman's geographic vicinity that most likely require his attention or visit. The technology disclosed further relates to identifying centers of influence for closing sales effort events based on one or more employee attributes. In particular, it relates to recruiting personnel that are best candidates for servicing an account or prospect considering their work profiles. It also relates to ensuring accountability in sales efforts by tracking a salesman's customer relationship management via location records.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence assistant (“chatbot”) operates within a multi-tenant database and allows users to interact with the underlying structured database through a natural language interface without using a standard structured query language or database interface. Users may interact with the chatbot via a chatroom and perform database queries using natural language expressions in the same manner as asking a person to perform the tasks. In addition, the chatbot may check user permissions and security parameters to determine if the user is permitted to access or alter data within the multi-tenant database.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for re-deploying metadata and it's associated data from a source organization to a destination organization of a cloud-based computing environment. After metadata that is to be retrieved from the source organization is selected, a metadata engine can automatically create a manifest file that comprises the selected metadata that is to be retrieved. The manifest file can then be stored at secure file storage for re-deployment. A data engine can then automatically retrieve data associated with the selected metadata based, for example, on objects specified in the selected metadata. This data can be automatically saved and stored at a secured database for re-deployment. Thereafter, both the manifest file and the data associated with the selected metadata can be re-deployed to the destination organization.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for dynamic node allocation for a server system that can automatically heal on failure—minimizing the need for static configuration—dynamically adjusting server resources to match load, and minimize end user wait times. The disclosed methods dynamically allocate nodes to increase capacity for a platform that accepts data queries. Additionally disclosed is a system for rolling version update deployment: workers maintain org lists of org-task-queues that they service; org-affinities between the workers and the org-task-queues require the workers to have access to local copies of immutable data sets to service org-tasks from the org-task-queues of the orgs that they service. A leader running on a worker implements a healing and balancing service that maintains worker redundancy, manages the workers' org-affinities to accumulate orgs on their respective org-lists. The leader implements messaging to the workers to update to a new software version and monitors completion of updates.

Abstract: Computer program, methods, and systems for code modification of a programming language platform and a software application in an intermediate language at different times are disclosed. The methods and system may modify a portion of the programming language platform in the intermediate language at a first time to alter a functionality of or add a new functionality to the programming language platform; and may modify the software application in the intermediate language at a second time different from the first time, where the software application may be modified based on a runtime analysis rule that uses the altered or added new functionality of the programming language platform. The modified programming language platform may be included in a first package, and the modified software application may be included in a second package, and executed on the modified programming language platform.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracking and responding to mobile events in a relationship management system is described. The method may include detecting a mobile event associated with a user of a relationship management system. Furthermore, the method may include analyzing the mobile event to determine at least one relationship management process associated with the user for which the mobile event is related. The method may also include generating one or more relationship management system notifications for transmission to the mobile device of the user prior to initiation of the mobile event, and generating one or more relationship management suggestions or relationship management system notifications for transmission to the mobile device of the user after a termination of the mobile event.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating management of user queries and dynamic filtration of responses based on group filters in an on-demand services environment in a multi-tenant environment according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes receiving, at a first computing device, a query via an application programming interface (“API”) of a software application at a second computing device, where the query includes one or more filter parameters including a size filter parameter. The method may further include evaluating the query based on the one or more filter parameters including the size filter parameter, selecting a first response based on the size filter parameter, and communicating the first response to be viewed via the API at the second computing device.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for avoiding sentiment model overfitting in a machine language model. A current list of keywords in a current sentiment model can be updated to create a proposed list of keywords in a proposed sentiment model. Machine-generated sentiment results, based on the proposed sentiment model, are presented to identify model overfitting, without revising the current set of keywords. The proposed set of keywords can be edited, and when overfitting is not present, the current list of keywords is replaced by the proposed list of keywords.
