Patent number: 11693834Abstract: Provided is a system and method for generating and updating a data model for use in retrieving data from an information retrieval system such as a database, a server, and the like. In one example, the method may include monitoring data that is written to database tables of a database by a software process, identifying links between the database tables where the monitored data is written, determining whether the software process has a pre-existing data model for retrieving data stored in the database, and in response to a determination that the software process does not include the pre-existing data model, creating a new data model for the software process which includes names of the database tables where the monitored data is written and links between the database tables, and storing the new data model via a database repository.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Sebastian Mietke

Publication number: 20230206000Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: SAP SEInventor: Christian Reisswig

Patent number: 11687565Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for managing asynchronous data replication in a multiple availability zone cloud environment. Metadata for files for asynchronous replication at a second availability zone is stored at an in-memory data grid of a first instance of a storage service at a first availability zone at a multiple availability cloud platform that provides storage services. The in-memory data grid includes a queue data structure of metadata records and a map of metadata records. In response to determining that connection from the first availability zone to the second availability zone is available, asynchronous data replication for files identified at the map is executed. A file for replication is identified at the map and provided for replication at a second file storage at the second availability zone through a replication interface of a second instance of the storage service at the second availability zone.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Stoyan Zhivkov Boshev, Stoyan Ivanov Veleshki, Nikolay Georgiev Kabadzhov, Diyan Asparuhov Yordanov, Plamen Marianov Peev

Patent number: 11687733Abstract: In an example embodiment, a self-supervised learning task is used for training commonsense-aware representations in a minimally supervised fashion and a pair level mutual-exclusive loss is used to enforce commonsense knowledge during representation learning. This helps to exploit the mutual-exclusive nature of the training samples of commonsense reasoning corpora. Given two pieces of input where the only difference between them are trigger pieces of data, it may be postulated that the pairwise pronoun disambiguation is mutually exclusive. This idea is formulated using a contrastive loss and then this is used to update the language model.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Tassilo Klein, Moin Nabi

Publication number: 20230196062Abstract: The layers of a neural network model are traversed in sequence one or more times while generating a plurality of relevance scores each time based on neuron weights and neuron biases of the neuron network model. Each relevance score of the plurality of relevance scores quantifies a relevance of a neuron in a lower layer of the sequence of layers to a higher layer of the sequence of layers. One or more relevance vectors can be populated from the plurality of relevance scores generated at the one or more times. Each of the relevance scores in each relevance vector quantifies a relevance of one of the input features to a task for which the neural network model is trained to perform. An explanation of a behavior of the neural network as a whole is generated based on the one or more relevance vectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: SAP SEInventors: Waqas Ahmad Farooqi, Eckehard Schmidt, Jonas Benedict Grill

Publication number: 20230196080Abstract: A network output is generated by feeding an input vector to an input layer of a neural network model having a plurality of neurons arranged in a sequence of layers, a plurality of neuron weights, and a plurality of neuron biases. The network output is used to determine an output relevance score. Relevance scores at a last layer of the sequence of layers are generated. Relevance scores are obtained at a first layer of the sequence of layers by reverse propagating the relevance scores generated at the last layer through the sequence of layers other than the last layer using the neuron weights and neuron biases. A feature relevance vector is formed based on the input vector and the relevance scores obtained at the first layer and included in a local explainability dataset, which is then used to generate a local explanation of a prediction of the neural network model.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: SAP SEInventors: Waqas Ahmad Farooqi, Eckehard Schmidt, Jonas Benedict Grill
