  • Patent number: 11755583
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for proving feedback on database instructions, identifying, for example, existing patterns and providing suggested replacement instructions. This may have the effect of improving the efficiency of instructions used to create and/or manipulate databases. According to some aspects, these and other benefits may be achieved by parsing received instructions into an organizational structure, traversing the organizational structure for known patterns, and suggesting replacement patterns. In implementation, this may be effected by receiving one or more sets of known patterns and corresponding replacement patterns, parsing received instructions, comparing the known patterns with the parsed instructions, and providing suggested replacement patterns based on one or more known patterns matching the parsed instructions. A benefit of may include reducing Cartesian products during the merging of tables.

  • Patent number: 11755678
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprises a server, which identifies optimized potential suppliers based on the client's request. The request comprises search specification and preselected bidders. The server extracts a first set of keywords from the search specification and finds web pages of potential suppliers based on the first set of keywords. The server identifies the websites of the preselected bidders, extracts a second set of keywords from the websites, and finds web pages of more potential suppliers based on the second set of keywords. The server determines the web pages are associated with real suppliers by excluding non-supplier web pages. The server determines a similarity score for each potential supplier by vectorizing keywords extracted from the supplier's web pages. The server determines a risk score for each potential supplier. The server generates a GUI comprising a list of suppliers ranked based on the similarity scores.

  • Patent number: 11748332
    Abstract: Storage of data that no longer has a useful life is established by the data objects' user(s) and overcomes predetermined rules required by information management policies. An illustrative data agent may receive instructions from an illustrative storage manager to perform secondary copy operations for certain data objects. The instructions may instruct that expiry-marked data objects are to be treated based on parsing each data object's user-supplied expiry timeframe. The illustrative system (i) will delete expired data objects including expired secondary copies; (ii) will refrain from making secondary copies of expired data objects; and (iii) if an expiry-marked data object is not expired, the illustrative system will make secondary copies according to the instructions, but will track those expiry-marked secondary copies for future deletion after they expire, (iv) and will delete expired secondary copies even if the original expiry-marked data object has been deleted from the system prior to its expiration.

  • Patent number: 11748341
    Abstract: In different kinds of forms with incomplete lines, or with different color cells in lieu of lines, virtually completing or providing the lines enables formation of tables from which keywords and content in the forms may be identified. Where a form may have one or more such tables, as can be the case with forms with irregular formats, multiple tables may be identified, to facilitate identification of keywords and content in each such table. In embodiments, deep learning techniques may be applied. Cost analysis involving minimum distances between keywords and content may be performed, with the cost analysis also facilitating formation of a keyword dictionary and a content dictionary.
