Patent number: 12271949Abstract: The disclosed embodiments related to multilateral portfolio compression using general large-scale linear optimization which pre-processes a model to decrease model size using domain knowledge to remove variables to reduce dimensionality, thereby making the model faster to solve and improving numerical characteristics. but it would not remove, for example, as much as half of the model, but rather a smaller fraction. The disclosed pre-processing enables an approximate solution for large, linear optimization models by automatically iteratively and selectively partitioning them into independently easily solvable sub-models. The sub-models are themselves linear optimization models, which can be solved with any preferred algorithm or library. The solutions for each sub-model are aggregated to obtain an acceptable, e.g., approximate, solution for a large model without solving the full model.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2024Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventor: Carl Erik Thornberg

Patent number: 12117981Abstract: Data is gathered from a log file on a first application server, a log file on a second application server, a database on a database server, or any suitable combination thereof. By correlating the data from different sources, XP-Functions that execute in sequence on a single application server are identified and combined into a sequence referred to as an executable process chain (XP-Chain). The automatic process discovery server reconstructs end-to-end processes out of XP-Chains, even when the XP-Chains are executed on different application servers, based on log files and database data. A test script may be generated for an identified end-to-end process. By running the test script, proper functioning of the end-to-end process may be confirmed. Existing test scripts may be disabled for a formerly identified end-to-end process that is no longer found to be executed.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Natallia Jamieson, Gregor Berg, Andre Niklas Wenz, Sean Leonard, Chirag Poddar

Patent number: 12079180Abstract: Techniques are presented for generating semantic layers that are used to facilitate data analyses of subject datasets. The semantic layers are generated from data analysis configurations that characterize analysis environments pertaining to the subject datasets rather than from subject dataset metadata that is associated with the subject datasets. Data analysis attributes are extracted from configuration content objects that codify the data analysis configurations. A set of rules are accessed to facilitate mapping of the data analysis attributes to semantic model metadata that constitute the semantic layers. Some of the generated semantic layers comprise virtual data models. The virtual data models and/or recommendations associated with implementation of the semantic layers are presented to users. Certain portions of the semantic layers and/or the configuration content objects may be modified (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: AtScale, Inc.Inventor: Dianne Wood

Patent number: 11755927Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to identifying entitlement rules based on a frequent pattern tree. A computing platform may retrieve entitlement data associated with a relational database, where the entitlement data is indicative of user entitlements to computing resources in an enterprise network. Then, the computing platform may generate, for the entitlement data, a frequent pattern tree. Then, the computing platform may compare a pair of branches and may detect a pattern associated with a pair of entitlements. Then, the computing platform may determine, based on the frequent pattern tree, a frequency of occurrence of the pattern. Then, the computing platform may identify, based on the frequency of occurrence, a rule associated with the pattern. Subsequently, the computing platform may trigger, via the computing device and based on the rule, an action related to one or more of the entitlements of the pair of entitlements.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: David Pritchard, Rajesh Gopinathapai, Jennifer Lynn Greenwald

Patent number: 11263208Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for providing cross-lingual search results that retain cultural context include a processor(s) monitoring (with user permission) computing activities performed by the user, via a client. The processor(s) analyzes the computing activities to identify data comprising elements relevant to the user and relationships between the elements and the user. The processor(s) generates a data structure comprising the data. The processor(s) generates a search interface for obtaining entries in a first language to perform a query; the entries are search parameters embedded with a portion of the elements. The processor(s) obtains an entry in the first language. The processor(s) extracts the portion of the elements from the entry (cultural context for the entry). The processor(s) determines target languages for data responsive to the query. The processor(s) translates the search parameters and the cultural context into the target languages and executes searches on databases.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Su Liu, Li Li, Zhichao Li, Ben Gibbs
