Abstract: In various embodiments, a natural language (NL) application enables users to more effectively access various data storage systems based on NL requests. As described, the NL application includes functionality for selecting an optimal interpretation algorithm, generating a dashboard, and/or generating an alert based on an NL request. Advantageously, the operations performed by the NL application reduce the amount of time and user effort associated with accessing data storage systems and increase the likelihood of properly addressing NL requests.

Abstract: Embodiments of method and system are directed to a best effort method to reconstruct the corrupt files from available nodes or tiers and heal or repair the corrupt files. The method looks for the existence of fingerprints of the lost segments in available tiers on the nodes or across nodes within a cluster. The method discovers the copies of these missing segments, creates an Lp tree referring these discovered segments and creates a virtual file in the namespace. The file is then moved to the destination tier where the corruption exists, thus healing the corruption.

The method may also include, in response to receiving the vehicle search request, forming a search query based on the conditions and the weights of the vehicle search request; obtaining vehicle information; filtering the vehicle information based on the search query to obtain a result set and a partial match set; and transmitting a search result message based on the result set and the partial match set to the user device.

Abstract: Techniques for generating latent representations for entities based on a network graph are provided. In one technique, an artificial neural network is trained based on feature vectors of entities and feature vectors of neighbors of those entities. The neighbors are determined based on a graph of nodes representing the entities. Two nodes are connected if, for example, the corresponding entities are connected in an online network, one entity transmitted an online communication to the other entity, or one entity interacted with content associated with the other entity. Once trained, the artificial neural network is used to generate latent representations for entities represented by the graph. Latent representations may be used in multiple ways. For example, a similarity between two latent representations may be used to determine an order of candidate content items to present to an entity corresponding to one of the latent representations.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for data replication in a data analysis system (100). A source database system (101) of the data analysis system (100) comprises a transaction log (106) storing log records generated by database transactions. The method comprises in response to determining (303) that a received log record is generated by a database transaction that rolls back a change of another database transaction whose log records are buffered in at least one record buffer, data indicative of a log record generated by the other database transaction buffering (305) in the compensation buffer tag data. The tag data may be used (311) for replicating to a target database system of the data analysis system buffered log records of the record buffer which are not marked as compensation records.

Abstract: Described is a method and system for verifying the end-to-end distribution of messages within an on-demand services platform. To provide the ability to monitor and trace such messages, the system may include a specialized and queryable datastore (or database) that allows the system to track the distribution and acknowledgement of messages throughout the services platform. Accordingly, a specialized verification process may be initiated to query the database to verify the receipt of a message has been acknowledged by various components within the system. In addition, the verification process may automatically retry the distribution the messages to ensure particular downstream components have received the message. Accordingly, the system alleviates the need to manual re-crawl various message source to ensure the end-to-end distribution of such messages.

Abstract: A social networking system generates a newsfeed for a user to view when accessing the social networking system. Candidate stories associated with users of the social networking system are selected and an expected value score for each candidate story is determined. An expected value score is based on the probability of a user performing various types of interactions with a candidate story and a numerical value for each type of interaction. The numerical value for a type of interaction represents a value to the social networking system of the type of interaction. Based on the expected value scores, the candidate stories are ranked and the ranking used to select candidate stories for the newsfeed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for converting a loop (e.g., a cursor loop) to a declarative Structured Query Language (SQL) query that invokes a custom aggregate function. The loop includes a select query and a loop body that includes a program fragment that can be evaluated over a result set of the select query one row at a time. The system verifies that the loop body does not modify a persistent state of the database. A custom aggregate function that expresses the loop body is automatically constructed according to a contract. An aggregate class comprising aggregation methods of the contract are used to construct the aggregate function based on results of static analysis. The select query is automatically rewritten to form a declarative SQL query that invokes the custom aggregate function. The declarative SQL query may be executed by a database management system (DBMS) SQL server.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for distributed activity detection is provided. Contextual data collected for a user performing an activity is processed on a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device extracts features from the contextual data and compares the features with a set of models. Each model represents an activity. A confidence score is assigned to each model based on the comparison with the features and the mobile computing device transmits the features to a server when the confidence scores for the models are low. The server trains a new model using the features and sends the new model to the mobile computing device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for backing up and restoring files that have multiple hard links using master file references and index node-based mappings are described. In some cases, file fetching and restoration may be performed by a storage appliance using master file references in which a master file is identified for each multi-link file that is backed-up on the storage appliance and then referenced by one or more hard links to the multi-link file. In other cases, file fetching and restoration may be performed by a storage appliance using index node-based mappings for multi-link files that provide mappings between index node identifiers (e.g., inode numbers) for the multi-link files on a primary system and hard link paths for storing the file contents of the multi-link files on a storage appliance used for backing up the primary system.
