Patent number: 11379203Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transcompiling non-distributed source code for a non-distributed software program into a distributed software package for implementation on a distributed computing system. A transcompiler can identify loops within non-distributed source code written in a data-driven language. The transcompiler can generate MapReduce jobs using mapper keys based on grouping indicators associated with each of the loops. The MapReduce jobs can be linked together based on input-output connections of the loops in the non-distributed source code. Then, the transcompiler can generate a distributed software package including the generated MapReduce jobs to implement the same functionality as the non-distributed source code on the distributed computing system, thereby improving the speed of execution over very large datasets. The distributed software package can be optimized using machine learning searching algorithms.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATIONInventors: Craig O'Connell, Theodore Harris, Yue Li, Tatiana Korolevskaya

Patent number: 11354598Abstract: An AI agent may be trained using online session logs of actual customers interacting with an online software application. Datasets may be generated using the session logs, and the AI agent may be trained to use the online application by applying various machine learning techniques to the datasets. The AI agent may be provided login credentials and instructed to log into and perform specified tasks using the online application as part of training. Once trained, the AI agent may be instructed to perform the same or other tasks using a modified version of the application. The AI agent mimics the responses and behaviors of actual users of the modified application. The AI agent can be trained to mimic users sharing a certain demographic characteristic, and its performance can be used to more effectively and efficiently enhance the software application for users at large and/or for users in the demographic.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.AInventors: Marcus Yamane, Kourtney Eidam

Patent number: 11354109Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein for updating a firmware file system (FFS) file by preserving the original FFS file in its current firmware volume and then storing an updated version of the original FFS file in a firmware volume for updated FFS files. The updated FFS file may be stored in the firmware volume for updated FFS files referenced to the same FFS file identifier as the original FFS file. During boot-up of a system incorporating the updated firmware, the firmware volume for updated FFS files may be accessed to determine if an updated version of any FFS files are present. If updated FFS files are present, then those updated FFS files may be executed, rather than the original FFS files.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: AMERICAN MEGATRENDS INTERNATIONAL, LLCInventors: Senthamizhsey Subramanian, Bejean David Mosher, Rodney Grant

Patent number: 11347483Abstract: A method for designing a logic flow for a user interface is provided. The method comprises receiving from a first task for an automation process file from a user. The automation process file defines a set of system activities. The first task is added to the automation process file and submitted to a machine learning engine, which determines a number of suggested tasks to be performed after the first task. The suggested tasks are based on frequencies with which previous users have used each task after the first task. The suggested tasks are then presented to the user. A second task is received from the user to be performed after the first task. The second task may be selected from the suggested tasks but not necessarily so. The second task is then added to the automation process file.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: ADP, Inc.Inventors: Claire Casaregola, David Dushaj, Michael Greene, Yair Pike, Alexander Chan, Lauren Miller

Patent number: 11327728Abstract: Flexible yet efficient “find” operations search source code for matches to a general pattern after a developer provides an example string that matches the pattern, without requiring the developer to write a regular expression or script that will implement the desired pattern. Example-driven find-replace functionality uses regular expressions or other pattern match codes, and scripts or other transforms, which are synthesized automatically from examples provided by a developer. This technology allows the developer to focus on workflow inside an integrated development environment instead of breaking focus to search for external documentation, or unfortunately foregoing the flexibility and power of regular expressions and scripts. Synthesizer outputs may be directly or indirectly ranked through user feedback, allowing their refinement. Find match generality may be controlled, e.g., by specifying regex star positions or star counts. Entry of guiding examples may be assisted by autocompletion.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mark Alistair Wilson-Thomas, Vu Minh Le, Sumit Gulwani
