  • Patent number: 11755598
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system and method of predicting sale transaction conversion rate of an item operates through a search of information in response to a query over a network. The item can be included in a category of items. Information for other relevant items of the category is available through network query and historical data, among others. Respective information for the other items of the category is available. The system and method includes discovering available information of the item of interest, extracting certain of the available information of the item, analyzing the certain information by comparing the information to other item information, weighting the information for the item in comparison to other items of the category, calculating a predictive score for the item of interest, and presenting the information of the item of interest ranked according to the predictive score as compared to other items of the category.

  • Patent number: 11210318
    Abstract: A client system can improve processing speeds by executing queries locally. A remote database can have a partitioned, columnar database. Queries from the client can be executed on the remote database, and blocks of a partition of the partitioned, columnar database can be sent to the client. Once the client has enough blocks to form the partition, the client can execute queries that reference the partition. The queries can be executed using templates for specialized expression evaluators.
