  • Patent number: 11816160
    Abstract: A unified graph query system provides an abstraction layer that increases the interoperability of different graph technologies by exposing graphs stored in graph databases using a unified query language. The abstraction layer generates graph models for each of the available graph databases and extracts a graph component and other source data used to identify the source of the data requested by a query. The unified graph query system executes the query across the multiple graphs included in different graph databases by using the graph models to locate the graph component in each of the multiple graphs and extract the feature data associated with the graph component. The feature data is used to generate features that are used by a machine learning service to train machine learning models and is also used to make predictions in real time.

  • Patent number: 11797527
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for operation of a feature management platform. A feature management platform is an end-to-end platform developed to manage the full lifecycle of data features. For example, to create a stateful feature, the feature management platform can receive a processing artifact from a computing device. The processing artifact defines the stateful feature, including the data source to retrieve event data from, when to retrieve the event data, the type of transform to apply, etc. Based on the processing artifact, the feature management system generates a processing job (e.g., the API defines a pipeline), which when initiated generates a vector that encapsulates the stateful feature. The vector is transmitted to the computing device that locally hosts a model, which generates a prediction that is transmitted to the feature management platform. Subsequently, the predication and stateful feature can be transmitted to other computing devices.

  • Patent number: 11763165
    Abstract: A data-driven nonuniform subsampling approach for computation-free on-sensor data dimensionality is provided, referred to herein as selective sensing. Designing an on-sensor data dimensionality reduction scheme for efficient signal sensing has long been a challenging task. Compressive sensing is a generic solution for sensing signals in a compressed format. Although compressive sensing can be directly implemented in the analog domain for specific types of signals, many application scenarios require implementation of data compression in the digital domain. However, the computational complexity involved in digital-domain compressive sensing limits its practical application, especially in resource-constrained sensor devices or high-data-rate sensor devices. Embodiments described herein provide a selective sensing framework that adopts a novel concept of data-driven nonuniform subsampling to reduce the dimensionality of acquired signals while retaining the information of interest in a computation-free fashion.

  • Patent number: 11748201
    Abstract: A versioned file system comprises a set of structured data representations. At a first time, an interface creates and exports to a cloud data store a first structured data representation corresponding to a first version of the local file system. The first structured data representation is an XML tree having a root element, one or more directory elements associated with the root element, and one or more file elements associated with a given directory element. Upon a change within the file system, the interface creates and exports a second structured data representation corresponding to a second version of the file system. The second structured data representation differs from the first structured data representation up to and including the root element of the second structured data representation. The interface continues to generate and export the structured data representations to the data store.
