  • Patent number: 10795926
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for suppressing search results to personally objectionable content. One of the methods includes receiving an identifier of a resource that has image content. A first classifier classifies the image content as including objectionable content or not including objectionable content. A second classifier classifies the image content as including professionally produced content or not including professionally produced content. Whenever the image content is classified as including objectionable content and as not including professionally produced content, the resource is designated as having personally objectionable content.

  • Patent number: 10747737
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for altering the data type of a column in a database. An embodiment operates by converting an original dictionary associated with a column into a new dictionary. The new dictionary stores the values of the original dictionary using a different data type. An index vector containing the keys of the original dictionary is then updated to contain the associated keys of the new dictionary. Because the size of the original dictionary is often substantially smaller than the number of rows in the associated column, this dictionary conversion decreases the computation cost to the database system of altering the data type of the column and reduces or even minimizes database downtime for users.

  • Patent number: 10515130
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for displaying a customized news stream. One method includes an operation for identifying dwell times spent by users while accessing a first plurality of items, each item belonging to one media type from a plurality of media types (e.g., news articles, videos, slide shows, etc.). In addition, the method includes operations for determining statistical parameters for each media type based on the identified dwell times, and for detecting a news corpus having a second plurality of items. A priority for each item in the news corpus is determined based on the media type of the item, the corresponding statistical parameters for the media type of the item, and the profile of a user. The news stream is sent to the user for presentation on a display, the news stream being sorted based on the priority of the items in the news corpus.

  • Patent number: 10496816
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for associating an entity with a risk score that may indicate a security threat associated with the entity's activity. An exemplary method may involve monitoring the activity of a subset of the set of entities (e.g., entities included in a watch list) by executing a search query against events indicating the activity of the subset of entities. The events may be associated with timestamps and may include machine data. Executing the search query may produce search results that pertain to activity of a particular entity from the subset. The search results may be evaluated based on a triggering condition corresponding to the statistical baseline. When the triggering condition is met, a risk score for the particular entity may be updated. The updated risk score may be displayed to a user via a graphical user interface (GUI).

  • Patent number: 10437804
    Abstract: A method and system for storing complex graph data. The graph data is represented by triples, quadruples, quintuples, etc. In order to speed up storage and retrieval of graph data, the data is stored in a form of triples, quadruples, quintuples, etc. in a B-tree. The B-trees are data structures that allow operations on dynamic data sets. The operations can be search, search for minimum and maximum values, insert, delete, reference to parent or child directory. The tree can be used as a dictionary or as a prioritized chain. The speed of tree operations is proportional to the height. The data is read as blocks from the same location. If a tree node is moved to an operational memory, an allocated memory block is moved and the operation executes very fast.

  • Patent number: 10331744
    Abstract: Techniques that may be used for detecting a primary content (e.g., a web page) that the user is viewing and presenting one or more pieces of supplemental content (e.g., social media data) together with the primary content. The supplemental content presented to the user together with the primary content may be content that is matched to the primary content and therefore detected to be relevant to the user. Detection of primary content and matching to supplemental content may be carried out based on a comparison of entities related to the primary and supplemental content. In some embodiments, an analysis of the primary content for entities may include ordering entities according to significance in the primary content and selecting top entities for comparison. Also, in some embodiments, multiple pieces of supplemental content may be displayed to a user categorized based on entity.
