  • Patent number: 11243843
    Abstract: A method and system for optimizing backup and backup discovery operations using change based metadata tracking (CBMT). Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail eliminating the storage and subsequent transmission of redundant asset metadata information to a central coordination point during backup discovery operations, which may strain central coordination point resources, as well as client device resources. Accordingly, rather than re-sharing the same asset metadata information every time a backup discovery initiates, the client device tracks, maintains, and transmits only changes in asset metadata, thereby conserving resource utilization.

  • Patent number: 11204932
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, from a client, an indication to include, in an application, a data processing pipeline implementing a data processing procedure that requires interaction with a data engine to retrieve and/or manipulate data in a data store coupled with the data engine. The application may be executed by exporting, to the data engine, a script corresponding to the data processing pipeline. Exporting the script may enable the data engine to execute the script to retrieve and/or manipulate data in the data store. The transfer of data resulting from the data engine executing the script may be monitored, for example, based on messages from the data engine. The messages may be exchanged via a message broker. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11182863
    Abstract: An online system generates content feature entries, with each content feature entry describing a content item from a third party system. The online system generates user feature entries, each user feature entry describing a user. The online system generates a combination score for a target user and a selected content item by computing a combination of the content feature entries associated with the selected content item and the user feature entries associated with the target user using a combining function. The combination score indicates an estimated increase in value for the third party system when the target user is presented with the selected content item. The online system selects content items to transmit to a client device of a target user of the online system for presentation to the target user based on the combination score for the content items and the target user.

  • Patent number: 11182412
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention create a searchable index that includes informative portions of text. In an example, a computer-implemented method creates a discourse tree from a body of text. For each non-terminal node in the discourse tree, the method identifies a rhetorical relationship associated with the non-terminal node. The method labels each terminal node associated with the non-terminal node as either a nucleus or a satellite. The method further accesses a rule associated with the rhetorical relationship, and selects, based on the rule, selects the fragment associated with the nucleus. The method creates a searchable index including the selected fragments.

  • Patent number: 11157872
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods to streamline the mechanism by which data users access differently regulated data through the use of one or more integrated identifiers. The integrated identifiers lessen or eliminate the need to separately maintain one set of identifiers for regulated data and another set for non-regulated data. The methods and systems may be applicable in various credit and healthcare contexts where regulations over data use are prevalent. In one or more embodiments, a data user receives a unique integrated identifier for each of the data user's current or prospective customers, and the integrated identifiers can be used to persistently identify and track the customers over time and across applications that access regulated and/or non-regulated data. In the healthcare context, a healthcare provider may utilize a patient ID as the integrated identifier. To protect privacy, the integrated identifier may not include social security numbers or birthdates.

  • Patent number: 11157530
    Abstract: An indication of a geographic area is received. Respective metrics of noteworthiness are obtained for multiple entities located in the geographic area. Using a machine-readable knowledge repository that describes semantic relations between the entities, several of the entities are selected in view of the corresponding metrics of noteworthiness, so that the selected entities share a set of attributes defining a commonality, and so that digital imagery is available for each of the selected entities. This commonality is not specified by the user. A geographic imagery tour that includes a representation of the respective digital imagery for the selected entities is generated.

  • Patent number: 11144604
    Abstract: An aggregated performance reporting system includes a computing system in communication with a database that stores element records associated with the elements of a distributed computing environment. The computing system stores instructions that are executed to receive a search term from a user interface, and identify a count of each element type that matches the search term. The instructions then identify one or more aggregated performance indicators that are associated with each element type, issue a request to the database to retrieve those element records having the identified element types, calculate the aggregated performance indicators using parametric information included in the retrieved element records, and facilitate the display of the calculated aggregated performance indicators on a display.
