  • Patent number: 11704347
    Abstract: A method executes at a computer system to retrieve data from a database. Upon receiving a database query, the computer system translates the query into an intermediate representation, and estimates a compilation time to compile the intermediate representation into machine executable code. The query execution time to retrieve a result set is also estimated. In accordance with a determination that the query execution time and compilation time satisfy an interpretation criterion, the computer system invokes a byte code interpreter to interpret the intermediate representation and retrieve the result set from the database. In accordance with a determination that the query execution and compilation times satisfy one of a plurality of compilation criteria, the computer system compiles the intermediate representation to form machine code and executes the machine code to retrieve the result set from the database. In some cases, the query intermediate representation is optimized prior to compilation.

  • Patent number: 11704340
    Abstract: Not all facts in a data warehouse are described by the same set of dimensions. However, there can be associations between the data dimensions and other dimensions. By maintaining a set of relationships that are capable of linking the dimensional keys used in existing data to the keys of an associated dimension, a data transformation can be constructed that summarizes by the original and by the associated dimensions in feeds in an analytical data mart (cube) that includes all the dimensions. This cube can then be consolidated and analyzed in a slice-and-dice fashion as though all the dimensions were independent. Data transformed in this manner can be analyzed alongside data from a source that is keyed by all of the dimensions.

  • Patent number: 11687533
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to servicing search requests based on index information stored in a storage shared between multiple search servers. In some embodiments, a first search server maintains a local cache including index information usable to service received search requests and synchronizes the local cache with the shared storage. The synchronizing includes retrieving, from the shared storage, metadata indicative of the index information in the shared storage and determining, based on the metadata, whether the index information in the local cache differs from the shared storage. In response to determining that the index information in the local cache differs from the index information in the shared storage, the first search server updates the index information in the local cache with the index information in the shared storage. The first search server may then provide one or more search results determined using the updated index information.

  • Patent number: 11586739
    Abstract: A cyberthreat detection system queries a content database for unstructured content that contains a set of keywords, clusters the unstructured content into clusters based on topics, and determines a cybersecurity cluster utilizing a list of vetted cybersecurity phrases. The set of keywords represents a target of interest such as a newly discovered cyberthreat, an entity, a brand, or a combination thereof. The cybersecurity cluster thus determined is composed of unstructured content that has the set of keywords as well as some percentage of the vetted cybersecurity phrases. If the size of the cybersecurity cluster, as compared to the amount of unstructured content queried from the content database, meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold, the query is saved as a new classifier rule that can then be used by a cybersecurity classifier to automatically, dynamically and timely identify the target of interest in unclassified unstructured content.
