Abstract: A system for providing an artificially-intelligent graph database is disclosed. The graph database has significant graph computing capabilities, which are facilitated through the integration of artificial intelligence into the graph database. The capabilities are enabled through the use of unique artificially-intelligent agents that are each responsible for a subgraph of a graph of the graph database. Each artificially-intelligent agent performs computations on the graph-structured data in each subgraph that each agent is responsible for managing. The artificially-intelligent agents may work cohesively together to provide artificial intelligence capabilities to the entire graph database. The graph database may optimize itself through intelligent local management by using the agents.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing updates to a knowledge graph with incoming change requests is disclosed. The method comprises creating a snapshot of the knowledge graph, building sub-regions of the knowledge graph, classifying each incoming change to the knowledge graph so that it relates to one of the sub-regions, creating at least one change layer, wherein each of the at least one change layer relates to one of the sub-regions, wherein each of the at least one change layer comprises a portion of the incoming change requests, closing the at least one change layer upon reaching a predetermined threshold value for the at least one change layer, and integrating the at least one change layer into the knowledge graph, thereby generating a updated knowledge graph.

Abstract: In an approach for database self-diagnosis and self-healing, a processor receives a problem description related to a database. A processor classifies the problem description into a natural language description portion and a database-know-who content portion. A processor processes the natural language description portion using natural language processing techniques. A processor evaluates the database-know-who content portion. A processor combines a result of processing the natural language description portion and evaluating the database-know-who content portion. A processor identifies a solution based on the problem description and the combined result. A processor solves a problem using the identified solution.

Abstract: Implementations of this specification provide service identifier-based data indexing. An example method performed by a data indexing apparatus of a centralized database service provider that stores data by using a blockchain-type ledger includes obtaining a service identifier and a service label of a data record, the service identifier uniquely identifying a service attribute of the data record, and the service label representing a type of the data record; determining location information of the data record in the blockchain-type ledger, the location information including a block height of a data block that includes the data record, and a positional offset of the data record in the data block that includes the data record; establishing a mapping relationship among the service identifier, the service label, and the location information; and writing the mapping relationship into an index for which a primary key is the service identifier.

Abstract: Technologies are shown for storing a data object in a distributed application architecture. Critical data in the data object is stored in an object data block on a blockchain. Noncritical data elements in the data object are stored in data block files at an address on a distributed file system, where the addresses are stored in the data block. The object data block is retrieved from the blockchain. The noncritical elements are retrieved from the file system using the address in the data block. The critical and noncritical elements are combined into a reassembled data object. The critical and noncritical data elements can be differentiated in a data definition for the data object or algorithmically analyzing data in the data object. Metadata for the data object can be stored in the object data block and utilized to combine the critical and noncritical elements into the reassembled data object.

The terminal further determines that characteristic information associated with the key character is stored, and displays target information associated with the characteristic information. The target information is information that is in a set of information associated with the key character and that is associated with the characteristic information. The method can improve information display precision.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an additional interface customer resource definition (CRD), which operates in conjunction with the normal CRD, is utilized. The interface CRD may be called a service CRD. The service CRD provides an abstraction of the original CRD by abstracting away all technical details that no other services should depend upon. The service CRD provides a façade to the original CRD. Both are kept in sync by a component called an operator, which infers the specification of the original CRD on the basis of the specification of a given service CRD. Furthermore, status updates sent to the original CRD that are relevant to the dependent services are mirrored back to the corresponding service CRD. Correspondingly, status updates with technical details that are too specific for the dependent services are not mirrored back.

Abstract: In some examples, a system may be configured to generate one or more query attributes for a search query received from a computing device of a user. Additionally, the system may be configured to, based at least in part on historical data of the user including data characterizing one or more items associated with the user, generate relevant item data. In various examples, the relevant item data characterizing a set of relevant items. Moreover, the system may be configured to, based on the relevant item data, the historical data of the user and the one or more query attributes, implement a set of operations that generate a set of personalized search results associated with the search query.

Abstract: Embodiments generate random walks through a directed graph that is represented in a relational database table. Each row of the graph table represents a directed edge in the graph and includes a source vertex and a destination vertex. Each row is further augmented to (a) indicate the number of outbound edges starting from the destination vertex in the row and (b) include an identifier that distinguishes the edge from other outbound edges starting from the same source vertex. An SQL query may be executed on the augmented graph table. Starting from a source vertex (starting vertex or the destination vertex of the previously selected hop) the query randomly selects a row of the graph table representing one of the outbound edges from the source vertex and adds the selected outbound edge as a row in a random walk table that represents the next hop in the random walk.

The tracking information is processed to identify patterns in user behaviour, and search results for further search queries are then presented in a manner that takes into account the tracking information. In a specific embodiment, this is applied in an e-commerce context. The tracking information may be stored in association with commerce object types such as products, orders, returns, customers.

Abstract: Methods and systems that evaluate currently operating online personas is automated to establish the relationships between nodes and assign attributes. A virtual network exploitation (ViNE) protocol can create a prioritized list of every account in the extended network based on its influence score, as well as filtering, to create a subset of the influencer list of accounts that meet attribute criteria. Analysis of this data can identify the key accounts for the influencer and lead lists and provide recommendations on the path and strategy the client should use to most effectively engage the accounts of interest. Automated seed list generation for SNA can be operationalized to identify all of the existing leads within an extended social network in priority order and provide an influence score for each account. The system can be scaled to combine individual accounts that focus on a specific organization, personality or region.

Abstract: A backup management system may include a data management server, a warm-tier data store, and a cold-tier data store. Snapshots may be captured from various client devices. A data block stored in the warm-tier data store may be referenced by multiple backup snapshots and/or referenced by one or more users. When a data block's total reference count is equal to the cold reference count or equal to or less than a threshold total reference count, the data management server may determine that the data block is ready to be migrated to the cold-tier data store. The data management server may send the data block into a candidate queue. In the queue, data blocks with similar retention periods or similar expected restoration may be grouped as a unit. The unit may be transmitted to the cold-tier data store in a single write request.
