Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for extracting structured content, as graphs, from text documents. Graph vertices and edges correspond to document tokens and pairwise relationships between tokens. Undirected peer relationships and directed relationships (e.g. key-value or composition) are supported. Vertices can be identified with predefined fields, and thence mapped to database columns for automated storage of document content in a database. A trained neural network classifier determines relationship classifications for all pairwise combinations of input tokens. The relationship classification can differentiate multiple relationship types. A multi-level classifier extracts multi-level graph structure from a document. Disclosed embodiments support arbitrary graph structures with hierarchical and planar relationships. Relationships are not restricted by spatial proximity or document layout. Composite tokens can be identified interspersed with other content.

Abstract: Technologies are described for the automated determination of materials. For example, material can be automatically identified (e.g., unique material numbers can be determined) based on sensor data and using machine learning models. In some implementations, as part of a first phase, a first set of sensor information describing the material is obtained. Using the first set of sensor information, a material class of the material is determined. As part of a second phase, a second set of sensor information describing the material is obtained. Using the second set of sensor information, the specific material is identified (e.g., a unique material identifier is determined for the material).

Abstract: Technologies are described for retaining configuration information for software applications during upgrades. For example, when an addon software package is deployed to a web application server running a main software platform, the configuration information for the addon software package can be preserved separately (e.g., independent of the common configuration file) and used later to restore the addon configuration information if needed. In some implementations, an addon presence file is used to store an entry for the addon software package. The entry identifies another file containing the configuration information for the addon software package. If the main software platform is upgraded resulting in the common configuration file being overwritten or replaced, then the addon configuration information can be added back to the common configuration file using the preserved configuration information.

Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for defining metadata artefacts and, using a framework, which can be referred to as a decorator framework, updating data artefacts. The data artefacts can be artefacts in a virtual data model, such as data artefacts representing views that can correspond to a view, or one or more tables, of a relational database system. A metadata artefact can include semantic elements, such as annotations, that are processable by the decorator framework in updating data artefacts. Annotations can specify an operation type, such as to include, remove, replace, or synchronize, for content a metadata artefact, where the operation will be carried out on data artefacts to which the metadata artefact is applied and which contain specified content. Multiple metadata artefacts can be applied to a given data artefact, and a given metadata artefact can be applied to multiple data artefacts.
