  • Patent number: 10762046
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for assignment level address cleansing based on a minimum assignment level. An embodiment operates by receiving an address from a client device at an address cleansing system. The address cleansing system then parses the address into a plurality entry fields represent different geographic region fields. The address cleansing system then compares the entry fields to reference address data to determine an assignment level of the address. The assignment level indicates the level of address validation achieved based on the comparison to the reference address data. The assignment level is then compared to a minimum assignment level. If the assignment level is equal to or greater than the minimum assignment level, the address is cleansed using the reference address data. If not, the address is not cleansed.

  • Patent number: 10761815
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for supporting different data sources provided in developing applications. An embodiment operates by a processor receiving the application descriptor, which includes a first data source for providing a first portion of data for the application, the first data source providing the first portion of data as a first data type that is incompatible with the application. The processor can then determine whether the first data source provides the first portion of data as the first data type and request based on the determination, the first portion of data from the first data source. The processor can thereafter receive a modified first portion of data in the second data and create a model for the application based thereon.

  • Patent number: 10761946
    Abstract: Technologies are described for facilitating database system recovery in a distributed database environment having a master node and at least one slave node. The master node maintains an in-memory reference that includes transaction identifiers and their corresponding commit identifiers. When a slave node requests that a commit identifier be assigned to a transaction, the transaction and commit identifiers for the transaction are added to the in-memory reference. The commit identifier is sent by the master node to the slave node. The slave node writes a log entry to a commit log that includes the transaction identifier and the assigned commit identifier. If the database system is interrupted before the slave node writes the commit log entry, the slave node can request the commit identifier for the transaction from the master node, which retrieves the identifier from the in-memory reference.

  • Patent number: 10762551
    Abstract: An initial matrix is generated through reducing the dimensionality of initial behavior data defined at an initial space. Purchase data associated with objects is evaluated iteratively to determine mappings associating objects with one or more of the subjects. Based on the determined mappings, an object vector matrix is generated based on average measures over subject vectors included in the initial subject matrix. An updated subject vector matrix including updated subject vectors is generated based on the object vector matrix and the purchase data. Updated object vector matrix versions and subject vector matrix versions are iteratively generated based on latest generated version of the matrixes. According to a validation criteria applied over the iterative generation process, a final object vector matrix and a final subject vector matrix are determined. The final determined matrixes may be analyzed to determine recommendations for objects and subjects.

  • Patent number: 10762117
    Abstract: An aggregation service aggregates extraction results from diverse named entity recognition (“NER”) services, which can help improve the quality of extracted information. In some cases, the aggregation service considers differences in entity type classifications when aggregating extraction results from different NER services. The aggregation service can also consider performance characteristics (e.g., error rates) for the different NER services. For example, the aggregation service receives extraction results generated for a document corpus according to an entity type schema for each of multiple different NER services, then aggregates the extraction results based at least in part on relations between entity types for the NER services. For a given annotation area, the computing system can identify hypotheses and rank the hypotheses according to an aggregation approach.

  • Patent number: 10762075
    Abstract: A system may include a shared storage data store containing a first version of entities with original content and a local tenant storage data store to contain information associated with a tenant's application server. A database interface agent may enter a copy-on-access mode and maintain materialization and modification flags. The agent may then initiate an upgrade process during which the first version of the entities are utilized by the application server. The agent may then enter a copy-on-write mode and delete, from the local tenant storage data store, entities having flags that indicate the table was migrated but did not receive customer data. The structure of the remaining entities may then be updated in view of the structure of the second version of the entities. Finally, the content of the entities may be updated in view of the content of the second version of entitles and previously received customer data.

  • Patent number: 10762071
    Abstract: Innovations in performing sort operations for dictionary-compressed values of columns in a column-store database using value identifiers (“IDs”) are described. For example, a database system includes a data store and an execution engine. The data store stores values at positions of a column A dictionary maps distinct values to corresponding value IDs. An inverted index stores, for each of the corresponding value IDs, a list of those of the positions that contain the associated distinct value. The execution engine processes a request to sort values at an input set of the positions and identify an output set of the positions for sorted values. In particular, the execution engine iterates through positions stored in the lists of the inverted index. For a given position, the execution engine checks if the given position is one of the input set and, if so, adds the given position to the output set.

  • Patent number: 10762107
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for updating a secondary database includes receiving transaction log information from a primary database system at a secondary database system. The transaction log information comprises a first marker identifying a beginning of an operation comprising a plurality of sub-operations and a second marker identifying an end of the operation. The transaction log information is sequentially parsed, a first marker is identified, and a lock state is created after replaying the first marker to ensure proper serialization of the plurality of sub-operations. The lock state is terminated after replaying the second marker. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
