  • Image data extraction using neural networks
    Patent number: 10650230
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to extracting data from images using neural networks. In one embodiment, an image is fit to a predetermined bounding window. The image is then processed with a convolutional neural network to produce a three dimensional data cube. Slices of the cube are processed by an encoder RNN, and the results concatenated. The concatenated results are processed by an attention layer with input from a downstream decoder RNN. The attention layer output is provided to the decoder RNN to generate a probability array where values in the probability array correspond to particular characters in a character set. The maximum value is selected, and translated into an output character. In one embodiment, an amount may be extracted from an image of a receipt.

  • Searchable encryption scheme with external tokenizer
    Patent number: 10642828
    Abstract: A server receives a first query to perform one or more operations on an encrypted database and intercepts the first query. A set of data referenced by the first query is determined to include data that is to be encrypted. Based on metadata, one or more data columns of the data that is to be encrypted are identified as well as an encryption scheme to be applied to each of the data columns. Each of the identified data columns is encrypted based on the identified encryption scheme to produce encrypted data. One or more of the operations of the first query is determined to be unsupported on encrypted data. The one or more operations are executed on a token vault at a tokenizer to retrieve token data referencing the encrypted data. The first query is replaced with a modified query based on the retrieved token data. The modified query is executed on the encrypted database to retrieve an encrypted query result.

  • Common runtime and recovery framework for manipulating data in main memory of database systems
    Patent number: 10642823
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for manipulating data comprises receiving log transaction information from a primary database system at a secondary database system and parsing the log transaction information to identify data objects that have been modified on the primary database system. The secondary database system determines whether the data objects are present in main memory on the secondary database system. If the data objects are not in the main memory, they are copied from persistence data volumes to the main memory. The data objects are modified by replaying the log transactions on the data objects in the main memory. Then, the data objects in the persistence data volumes are modified. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
