  • Patent number: 11170039
    Abstract: An item extraction unit extracts, when a user selects an item from a list of items to be selected by the user, at least one item from among items that are not selected by the user. A word acquisition unit acquires a word that is contained in text information associated with the item selected by the user and is not contained in text information associated with the item extracted by the item extraction unit. A search condition setting unit sets a search condition for searching for an item that is similar to the item selected by the user based on the word acquired by the word acquisition unit. A search execution unit executes a search based on the search condition.

  • Patent number: 11163758
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing queries against an external data source utilizing dynamically allocated partitions operating on one or more worker nodes. The external data source can include data that has not been processed by the system. To query the external data source, a query coordinator can generate a subquery for the external data source based on determined functionality of the data source. The subquery can identify data in the external data source for processing and a manner for processing the data. In addition, the query coordinator can dynamically allocate partitions operating on worker nodes to retrieve and intake results of the subquery. In some cases, number of partitions allocated can be based on a number of partitions supported by the external data source.

  • Patent number: 11163722
    Abstract: A method is implemented by a computing device to analyze a live stream of log entries to determine new patterns and changes in a number of occurrences of previously identified patterns. The method includes receiving a log entry in a live stream of log entries, determining whether the log entry fits a baseline pattern from one or more previously saved baseline patterns, adding to a count of occurrences for a baseline pattern if the log entry fits that baseline pattern, creating a new baseline pattern for the log entry if the log entry does not fit any of the one or more previously saved baseline patterns, saving the new baseline pattern, generating a snapshot of a pattern hierarchy based on the baseline patterns, comparing the new snapshot to a previously saved snapshot of a pattern hierarchy, and causing a report to be displayed based on a result of the comparing.

  • Patent number: 11164209
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for identifying products that are implicitly published in an image, e.g., where there is no identifying text or comments that identify the brand of the product. A product entity may be identified based on comments posted in response to the posting of the image.

  • Patent number: 11138176
    Abstract: Enabling a third-party data service to update custom data objects is described. A database system outputs a data object to a user device in response to receiving a user selection of the data object. The database system outputs a data service object, associated with a third-party data service, to the user device in response to receiving a user selection of the third-party data service. The database system stores metadata that maps between a data field, associated with the data object, and a data service field, associated with the data service object, in response to receiving a user selection of the data field and the data service field. The database system updates an instance of the data object by using the metadata to send request data to the third-party data service and using the metadata to receive response data from the third-party service.

  • Patent number: 11138222
    Abstract: A system receives an object selection, and outputs the object. The system receives a first service selection, outputs the first service's object, receives a second service selection, and outputs the second service's object. The system receives selections of the object's first field and the first service object's field, and stores first metadata that maps between the object's first field and the first service object's field. The system receives selections of the object's second field and the second service object's field, and stores second metadata that maps between the object's second field and the second service object's field. The system updates an object instance by using the first metadata to send first request data to the first service and receive first response data from the first service, and by using the second metadata to send second request data to the second service and receive second response data from the second service.

  • Patent number: 11138365
    Abstract: A method is provided for retrieving data stored in a data source at pages having a predetermining size. A computing system receives a page request for requesting a new page, within data that are selected in the data source according to a query and are then to be filtered according to one or more filtering criteria external to the data source. A pagination structure (comprising an end point in the selected data of a last previously requested page that has been previously requested) is associated with the page request; the pagination structure is used to retrieve the data following the end point of the last previously requested page and to filter them into the new page. A computer program product for performing the method and a corresponding system are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11080120
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to a transaction exchange platform using a streaming data platform (SDP) and microservices to process transactions according to review and approval workflows. The transaction exchange platform may receive transactions from origination sources, which may be added to the SDP as transaction objects. Microservices on the transaction exchange platform may interact with the transaction objects based on configured workflows associated with the transactions. Processing on the transaction exchange platform may facilitate clearing and settlement of transactions. Some aspects may provide for dynamic and flexible reconfiguration of workflows and/or microservices. Other aspects may provide for data snapshots and workflow tracking, allowing for monitoring, quality control, and auditability of transactions on the transaction exchange platform.

  • Patent number: 11080302
    Abstract: To improve the user experience, browse nodes for popular combinations of categories and aspects are desirable. When a particular combination of category and aspects is found to have been requested at a frequency that exceeds a threshold, the existence of a browse node for that combination is checked and, if the browse node is missing, a request to create the browse node is generated. In some example embodiments, an entire set of missing browse nodes is generated based on recognition of a pattern of category and aspect combinations being requested.

  • Patent number: 11074262
    Abstract: Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for classifying documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Documents may be pre-processed to render document sections visible to machine readers. Document subsets may be generated based on user-defined terms. The machine readable documents may be classified within the content repository into one of a group of categories, based-upon the number of times classification terms appear in a specific document section of the document. Documents may be ranked based upon the frequency of classification terms in the specific section. Documents may be associated with specific diseases such as cancer, genes, gene variants, and drugs or synonyms thereof by comparing relevant search terms to specific sections of the documents.

  • Patent number: 11068490
    Abstract: Computer-based methods, systems, and computer readable media for managing documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Documents within the content repository may be classified into one of a functional category and a clinical category. Documents are applied to a machine learning annotation and analysis module to automatically annotate the documents to indicate relationships between entities. A request is processed for the documents including one or more search terms, wherein the search terms pertain to one or more entities from a group of gene, gene variant, drug, cancer and a biomedical/clinical term. Documents satisfying the request are identified by comparing the one or more search terms to the annotations and specific sections of the documents, and determining a relevance of a document based on the comparison and a frequency of the one or more search terms in each of the specific sections. The identified documents are ranked according to custom techniques.
