Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing files in an on-demand system. One exemplary method involves a server obtaining an input value from a data input field of an electronic file that was generated based on a template that maintains an association between the data input field and a field of an object in a database. The method continues with the server storing the input value in the field of the object in the database based on the association. In one or more embodiments, an input value indicated by a graphical user interface element within an electronic file is mapped to a column of an object table in the database that corresponds to the field of the object associated with the data input field that corresponds to the graphical user interface element.

Abstract: A remote debug session for a server group is provided. A server group including multiple servers that perform workload sharing receives a request to debug code executed at the server group. The code is executed on behalf of a client of a database associated with the server group. At least one of the servers of the group initiates a debugging session and establishes a communication connection with the client. The server group maintains the connection open with the client for the duration of the debugging session. Subsequent requests related to the debug session can be handled in a number of ways by the server group, and all communication to the client about processing the requests is through the connection.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for executing scripts to provide offline prompts in a social networking application are provided. A social networking application operating on a mobile device in an offline mode receives an input comprising a sequence of characters from a user of the mobile device. The social networking application executes a script that was received by the mobile device while being operated in an online mode. The script analyzes each character of the user input as each character is received by the mobile device, and generates a prioritized list of social network contact identifiers, wherein the prioritized list is a prediction of social network contact identifiers associated with the content of the user input and data associated with the script. The social networking application further causes the prioritized list of social network contact identifiers to be provided to the user in response to the user input.

Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products related to a user interface providing a call center service. In some implementations, the user interface presents session tabs and application tabs. A session tab can have a parent-child relationship with an application tab. Customer data can be retrieved from a database, where the customer data includes account data and child data. The customer data can be provided to cause display in the user interface of the account data in association with a first session tab and the child data in association with a first application tab. Edits to the child data can cause the first application tab to be designated as unsaved.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to an end-to-end neural network for question answering, referred to herein as “dynamic coattention network (DCN)”. Roughly described, the DCN includes an encoder neural network and a coattentive encoder that capture the interactions between a question and a document in a so-called “coattention encoding”. The DCN also includes a decoder neural network and highway maxout networks that process the coattention encoding to estimate start and end positions of a phrase in the document that responds to the question.

Abstract: An encryption platform may identify language characters in database fields and determine which of multiple encoding schemes more efficiently encodes the language characters. The encryption platform may use the selected encoding scheme to encode plaintext into a byte array and then encrypt the byte array into ciphertext. The encryption platform may assign encoding flags to the ciphertext identifying the encoding scheme used for encoding the plaintext. The encryption platform then may use the encoding flag to determine which encoding schemes to use for decoding the data back into plaintext. Using the different encoding schemes allows encrypted data to fit better into database storage structures. The encryption platform also may enable users to select different fields for different selectable objects for encoding and encrypting.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to automatic generation of tuples from a record set for outlier analysis. Applying this new technology, user need not specify which 1-tuples to combine into n-tuples. The tuples are generated from structured records organized into features (that also could be fields, objects or attributes.) Tuples are generated from combinations of feature values in the records. Thresholding is applied to manage the number of tuples generated. The technology disclosed further relates to indexing and searching high dimensional tuple spaces in a computer-implemented system.
