Abstract: Computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for supporting dynamic validation workflows. One exemplary method involves a server of a database system receiving a graphical representation of a validation process from a client device coupled to a network, converting the graphical representation of the validation process into validation code, and storing the validation code at the database system in association with a database object type. Thereafter, the validation process is performed with respect to an instance of the database object type using the validation code in response to an action with respect to the instance of the database object type in a database of the database system. The action triggering the validation process can be based on user-configurable triggering criteria, and the validation process may generate user-configurable notifications based on one or more field values of the database object instance.

Abstract: Various computer-implemented systems and methods are provided here for purposes of smart messaging. A machine learning application can obtain message context data from a user device, and process the message context data to determine a predicted conversation pattern of the conversation. The message context data is indicative of context of a conversation taking place during a messaging session. Based on the predicted conversation pattern, the machine learning application can then determine options for suggested responses that are predicted to compete at least part of a response message as part of the conversation. Each of the options for suggested responses corresponds to the message context data indicative of the context of the conversation. In response to selection of one of the suggested responses, that suggested response can be displayed within a message field.

Abstract: A method of semiautonomous processing of a conversation on a digital data device includes the steps of receiving, with the digital data device, a communication from a requesting agent, analyzing the communication to discern an intent, determining whether an intent-purposed bot is available for execution on or in connection with the first digital data device to process a said communication of said intent and, if so, upon approval of a responding agent, processing with the bot any of the communication, an interaction of which the communication forms a part, and session of which the interaction forms a part.

Abstract: A method and a system for determining unique counts of events from a stream of events are described. One or more sets of events are defined. A set is defined based on one or more parameters including a set type and zero or more set qualifiers. When an event occurs information related to the event is obtained and used to create a Hbase row key. The Hbase row key includes the set type, associated set qualifiers and a set member qualifier. The Hbase row key is added to the Hbase table when the Hbase row key is not already included in the Hbase table.

Abstract: Exclusive threads for multiple queues is described. A computing system adds a first event associated with a first entity to a first queue in response to receiving the first event. The computing system adds a second event associated with a second entity to a second queue in response to receiving the second event. The computing system adds a third event associated with the second entity to the second queue in response to receiving the third event. A first thread in the computing system removes the first event from the first queue, wherein any event in the first queue is removed exclusively by the first thread. The first thread processes the first event.

Abstract: During an encryption process, a database system may generate an index value based on the plaintext to be encrypted, an encryption key, a data field-specific salt, or a combination thereof. The database may store the index value in an index associated with the ciphertext output of the encryption process. In some cases, the database may receive a query specifying a plaintext value for filtering on a data field, where the database may return data objects with the specified plaintext value in the given data field. The database may compute a set of index values associated with the specified plaintext, and may identify indexes with index values included in the set of index values and associated with the given data field. The database may decrypt the ciphertexts associated with the identified indexes to check if they match the specified plaintext.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for creating an instance of an object from within a context of a user interface of a calendar application. The calendar application can automatically detect existing calendars that are associated with a user of a particular organization, and dynamically determine different object types that are associated with calendar items displayed in each of the existing calendars. The different object types can include standard objects and custom objects. The calendar application can then provide a new object creation user interface (UI) element that (when selected) includes a list of the different object types that are displayed in response to selecting the new object creation UI element. When a user selects one of the different object types from the list, the calendar application can create, from within the context of the main user interface of the calendar application, an instance of the object in the cloud computing platform.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for providing a reference to a content object in a user interface using an on-demand database service. A computing device can receive data regarding identification of a content object, where the content object is stored in a data repository external to the on-demand database service. The data regarding the content object can be stored in a persistent object in a database of the on-demand database service. A reference can be provided representing the persistent object to a display device operable to display the reference in a user interface when the display device accesses the on-demand database service. One or more graphical representations can be exposed regarding the content object for display in the user interface by the display device, where the exposed graphical representations depend at least in part on the data repository.

Abstract: Approaches for interpretable counting for visual question answering include a digital image processor, a language processor, and a counter. The digital image processor identifies objects in an image, maps the identified objects into an embedding space, generates bounding boxes for each of the identified objects, and outputs the embedded objects paired with their bounding boxes. The language processor embeds a question into the embedding space. The scorer determines scores for the identified objects. Each respective score determines how well a corresponding one of the identified objects is responsive to the question. The counter determines a count of the objects in the digital image that are responsive to the question based on the scores. The count and a corresponding bounding box for each object included in the count are output. In some embodiments, the counter determines the count interactively based on interactions between counted and uncounted objects.

Abstract: To deliver up-to-date, coherent user data to applications upon request, the disclosed technology includes systems and methods for caching data and metadata after it has been synchronously loaded—for future retrieval with a page load time close to zero milliseconds. To provide this experience, data needs to be stored as locally to a user as possible, in the cache on the local device or in an edge cache located geographically nearby, for use in responding to requests. Applications which maintain caches of API results can be notified of their invalidation, and can detect the invalidation, propagate the invalidation to any further client tiers with the appropriate derivative type mapping, and refresh their cached values so that clients need not synchronously make the API requests again—ensuring that the client has access to the most up-to-date copy of data as inexpensively as possible—in terms of bandwidth and latency.

Abstract: In some database systems, multiple servers may be deployed with different configurations based on stacks, applications, or services associated with the servers. Such systems may perform server validations to determine whether the servers are deployed with the correct configurations. A testing server may validate one or more target servers using metadata and parameters of the target servers. The testing server may receive parameters corresponding to a configuration file, and the testing server may select a subset of validation routines to perform for each target server based on metadata in the configuration file. In this way, the testing server may perform the same validation process for each target server, but may perform a different subset of validation routines. The testing server may execute code containing the selected subset of validation routines remotely against the target server, and may determine whether the server was configured correctly.
