Publication number: 20230359756Abstract: According to some implementations, compliance assessment metrics in a subset of two or more compliance assessment metrics are combined to form a combined compliance assessment metric. Each compliance assessment metric in the subset reflects a level of compliance of a set of rules with a different type of data privacy and/or data security laws, regulations, and/or policy. The set of rules are to manage personal data in an organization instance of a customer of a cloud-based software provider capable of hosting the organization instance in one or more datacenters in a plurality of different geographic regions. An ability to move data from the organization instance from a first geographic region to a second geographic region is gated based on the combined compliance assessment metric. In addition, the combined compliance assessment metric is displayed as part of a data policy compliance service provided by the cloud-based software provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Tiffany Joy Chin, Chad Richard Holdorf, Anubha Dubey, Matthew Wilbert Parin

Patent number: 11810298Abstract: An analytics system uses one or more machine-learned models to predict a hormone receptor status from a H&E stain image. The system partitions H&E stain images each into a plurality of non-overlapping image tiles. Bags of tiles are created through sampling of the image tiles. For each H&E stain image, the system generates a feature vector from a bag of tiles sampled from the partitioned image tiles. The analytics system trains one or more machine-learned models with training H&E stain images having a positive or negative receptor status. With the trained models, the analytics system predicts a hormone receptor status by applying a prediction model to the feature vector for a test H&E stain image.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Nikhil Naik, Ali Madani, Nitish Shirish Keskar

Patent number: 11809565Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for supporting security for private data inputs to artificial intelligence models are described. A device (e.g., an application server) may receive a request to run an artificial intelligence model. The device may run the artificial intelligence model on a public data set and an extended set of data that includes both the public data set and a private data set. The device may determine a first set of outcomes based on running the artificial intelligence model on the public data set and a second set of outcomes based on rerunning the model on the extended set of data. The device may then compare the two sets of outcomes to determine whether a private data value is identifiable based on the second set of outcomes. If a private data value is identifiable, the device may obfuscate the results prior to transmitting the results to the requestor.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Salesforce Inc.Inventors: Abigail Reyes Knox, Daniel Thomas Harrison

Patent number: 11809386Abstract: Techniques are disclosed in which a computer system implements schema changes for existing database objects by maintaining a logical name and a current physical name corresponding to an existing database object, where the logical name points to the current physical name. The system receives a schema change request specifying the logical name and format changes for the existing object. The system performs a schema change operation in response to the request, including: creating a new database object having a new physical name, copying and transforming data from the existing object to the new object according to the format changes, mirroring new writes directed to the logical name to both the existing and new objects, and causing the logical name to point to the new physical name instead of the current physical name after completing the copying. The system responds to subsequent queries, specifying the logical name, from the new object.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Gokcen Iskender, Kadir Ozdemir

Patent number: 11803370Abstract: In a cloud computing environment, a configurable transaction status interface of an enterprise computing platform enables application developers to customize applications efficiently. The configurable transaction status interface includes a global variable that is populated using a method for implementing a configurable status map that maps a transaction result to the global variable without having to customize the application. The configurable transaction status interface allows third party vendors of transaction gateways to use the configurable status map to map one or more of their gateway-specific transaction results to a generic status defined in the global variable. The vendors manage the configurable status map in their own namespace independently of the application with which they are interfacing.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Tarundeep Batra, Lopa Mukherjee, Himanshu Kapoor
