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: 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: 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.

Other related embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for reducing noise in a social media feed of the type including successive posts each having a substantially homogeneous format.

Abstract: Systems and methods for installing and upgrading application packages to an application platform. Application packages may be uploaded to a directory by developing users (developers) for installation by subscribing users (subscribers). Alternatively, a developer may send identification information to a subscribing user to allow that user to access and install that application package created by the developer. Application packages may also be upgraded. If a developer changes the original source package, a subscriber can choose to pull into their organization the change(s) made by the publisher while preserving any data rows the subscriber had created since first importing the package.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method executable by a server system to store data in a data cache and refresh the data based on a dynamic schedule is provided. The method includes: receiving, by a processor, data from a first resource; storing, by the processor, the data in a data cache; determining, by the processor, a type of the data, and an access frequency of the data; determining, by the processor, a dynamic schedule based on the type of the data, and the access frequency of the data; and refreshing the data cache with new data from the first resource based on the dynamic schedule.
Abstract: A 1st domain makes a request to a 2nd domain using a URI including the name of the 2nd domain, a public path for the domains, and a cryptographically secure path generated by the 1st domain. The 2nd domain makes a request to the 1st domain using a URI including the name of the 1st domain, the pre-defined public path, and the cryptographically secure path. The 1st domain or the 2nd domain sets a cookie including a message (the cookie's path scope includes the pre-defined public path and the cryptographically secure path, the cookie's domain scope includes all sub-domains of the nearest common ancestor for the 1st and 2nd domains), and makes a request to the other domain using a URI including the name of the other domain, the pre-defined public path, and the cryptographically secure path, which causes a web browser to send the cookie to the other domain.
Abstract: Methods and systems for managing universal resource locators (URLs) at a server include receiving, at the server, a search query from a client device; creating, by the server, a compressed hash value based on the search query; processing, by the server, the search query to yield a search result; and transmitting the compressed hash value to the client for storage in a browser history.
Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for implementing enterprise level social and business information networking are provided. Users can receive relevant information about a database system and its users at an appropriate time. Users can then use this relevant information to reduce errors and limit redundant efforts. For example, an update of a record in the database can be identified, and a story created automatically about the update and sent to the users that are following the record. Which updates have stories created and which stories are to be sent to which users can be configured. Other events besides updating of records can also be tracked. For example, actions of a user that result in an event can be tracked, where such tracking can also be configurable. Subscriptions to follow an object can be automatic, and access checks can be used to ensure that unauthorized users do not see certain data.
Abstract: Source values are mapped to new user-defined categories. The new user-defined categories are stored in a new user-defined field. In an embodiment, a user-selection of an existing field is received. Based on a data type of the existing field, a specific mapping interface is displayed. The interface guides the user through specification of the new field and categories, and identification of the source values to map to the new categories.

Abstract: Performance of web pages and mobile device applications with multiple components rendered on a user device is dynamically speeded up, including dynamically measuring network communication latency, adjusting inter-boxcar intervals used to dispatch batches of action requests from the user device to a production server, and dispatching boxcarred requests to the server. Adjustments to the boxcar intervals are based on the dynamically measured network communication latency and a number of connections supported between the user device and the server. The measured network communication latency is calculated as dispatch-to-completed response time minus server processing time and the server processing time is received from the server for a boxcar of completed responses. The system adjusts according to feedback received, as a browser or mobile device changes network connections or the network conditions change, and adapting over time for a particular user.

Abstract: Improved perceived load time for browser and mobile application pages is achieved by adjusting boxcarring of action requests from coupled data consuming applications on the user device, using the priority level of regions and components in component-driven cloud applications. Priority labels differentiate among display regions rendered by the data consuming application and the priority labels further differentiate among components within respective display regions. The middleware application batches the action requests into batches based at least in part on the priority labels, into boxcars segregated by priority label according to a predetermined segregation schedule, and dispatches the boxcars of batched action requests to the server. Performance is also dynamically speeded up, by adjusting inter-boxcar intervals used to dispatch batches of action requests from the user device to a production server, based on the dynamically measured network communication latency between the user device and the server.
