Patent number: 12080091Abstract: A bipartite application implements a table auto-completion (TAC) algorithm on the client side and the server side. A client module runs a local model of the TAC algorithm on a user device and a server module runs a global model of the TAC algorithm on a server machine. The local model is continuously adapted through on-the-fly training, with as few as one negative example, to perform TAC on the client side, one document at a time. Knowledge thus learned by the local model is used to improve the global model on the server side. The global model can be utilized to automatically and intelligently extract table information from a large number of documents with significantly improved accuracy, requiring minimal human intervention even on complex tables.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: OPEN TEXT SA ULCInventors: Matthias Theodor Middendorf, Gisela Barbara Cäcilie Hammann, Carsten Peust

Patent number: 11989657Abstract: Herein, a computer generates and evaluates many preprocessor configurations for a window preprocessor that transforms a training timeseries dataset for an ML model. With each preprocessor configuration, the window preprocessor is configured. The window preprocessor then converts the training timeseries dataset into a configuration-specific point-based dataset that is based on the preprocessor configuration. The ML model is trained based on the configuration-specific point-based dataset to calculate a score for the preprocessor configuration. Based on the scores of the many preprocessor configurations, an optimal preprocessor configuration is selected for finally configuring the window preprocessor, after which, the window preprocessor can optimally transform a new timeseries dataset such as in an offline or online production environment such as for real-time processing of a live streaming timeseries.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Nikan Chavoshi, Anatoly Yakovlev, Hesam Fathi Moghadam, Venkatanathan Varadarajan, Sandeep Agrawal, Ali Moharrer, Jingxiao Cai, Sanjay Jinturkar, Nipun Agarwal
