  • Patent number: 11775533
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe customizing searching. Search queries may be customized according to a user's preferences. A user may emphasize or indicate that additional weight should be given to one or more terms in a search query. Terms that are weighted higher may have a larger impact on the results that are returned in response to the search query. In addition to changing the terms in a search query, a user may provide a weight for each term. Each term in a search query may be weighted to varying degrees, giving a user more control over the results that are returned. The weights may be used with machine learning techniques to generate a vector representation of a search query. The vector representation of the search query may be compared with vector representations of search objects to determine results that match the search query.

  • Patent number: 11763326
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for identifying users, records, and/or devices using anonymous source data records associated with consumer activity are described. In general, the consumer activity may relate to consumer interactions with devices and/or content or data through devices. The source data records may be structured, such as associating the source data records with a sequential timeline. Behavioral markers may be generated by the matching system and associated with the source data records. Each behavioral marker may be analyzed across all of the source data records to determine the effectiveness of the behavioral marker to identify unique source data records. One or more of the behavioral markers may be used to generate a behavioral fingerprint. A behavioral fingerprint may be used to identify unique records, devices, and/or users, including identification based on different sets of source data records.

  • Patent number: 11762848
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media related to generating a combined search query based on search parameters of a current search query of a user and search parameters of one or more previously submitted search quer(ies) of the user that are determined to be of the same line of inquiry as the current search query. Two or more search queries may be determined to share a line of inquiry when it is determined that they are within a threshold level of semantic similarity to one another. Once a shared line of inquiry has been identified and a combined search query generated, users may interact with the search parameters and/or the search results to update the search parameters of the combined search query.

  • Patent number: 11755537
    Abstract: Optimizing file access includes a process for identifying a file access event for a first accessed file, and incrementing a first access counter in an access list in a memory, which also includes access counters for other accessed files. The process further includes exporting the first access counter to a performance monitoring dashboard, or exporting to a storage allocator and, based on the value, moving the first accessed file between a first storage and a second storage. The process also includes determining whether the value of the first access counter meets a first threshold, or a sum of values of the access counters for the other accessed files meets a second threshold. Based on meeting the first threshold or meeting the second threshold, the process includes persisting the access counters on a storage media. The access counters also provide security monitoring (e.g., identifying excessive file access).

  • Patent number: 11727250
    Abstract: A computer device, a non-transitory computer storage medium, and a computer-implemented method of pattern recognition utilizing an elastic clustering algorithm. A sequence of input datapoints are assigned to a particular cluster of K clusters based on a distance from a centroid k representing a center of the particular cluster. The centroid k in each of the K clusters is shifted from a first position to a second position closer than the first position from the sequence of input datapoints. A location of the centroid k in each of the K clusters is relaxed from the second position toward an equilibrium point in the particular cluster of the K clusters. The relaxing of the location of the centroid k occurs according to an elasticity pull factor based on a distance between the centroid k of the particular cluster at a time t.

  • Patent number: 11720558
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes determining a set of identigens for each word of a query to produce sets of identigens and interpreting pairs of adjacent identigens of adjacent sets of identigens to determine a most likely meaning of the query and produce a query entigen group. The method further includes identifying entigens of a knowledge database that compare favorably to the query entigen group to produce an initial entigen group and determining whether the initial entigen group requires one or more future available entigens to provide a complete response to the query. When required, the method further includes creating the one or more future available entigens based on obtained targeted data, adding the one or more future available entigens to the initial entigen group to produce an updated entigen group, and outputting the complete response based on the updated entigen group.

  • Patent number: 11709744
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, system, and device for security object synchronization at multiple nodes of an active-active environment. To illustrate, a source node may generate a corresponding security object sync request for each of multiple target nodes. The source node may send the security object sync request to the target nodes via a source queue and, for each target node, a corresponding distribution queue. A distribution queue may be closed based on an acknowledgement received from a corresponding target node, after a time period, or after a number of transmission attempts. A synchronization log may be maintained to indicate which security object sync requests have been delivered to which target nodes. In some implementations, the source node and the target nodes are part of an active-active environment that may be synchronized in time so the nodes resolve conflicts between received security object updates initiated from two different nodes.

  • Patent number: 11709857
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for improved mapping from sequential semi-structured data of a first custom data format to a second custom data format. The improved mechanism for mapping between custom data formats significantly reducing the amount of manual effort otherwise used for creating mapping rules. Example embodiments utilize a state extractor model that extracts an untrained modified finite state machine embodied by a skeleton set of extracted states from particular sequential semi-structured input data, and generate a trained modified finite state machine that maps the first custom data format to the second custom data format based at least in part on the untrained modified finite state machine, sequential semi-structured input data of the first custom data format, and database structured output data of the second custom data format. The trained modified finite state machine may be used for subsequent processing data of the first custom data format.
