Patent number: 11860863Abstract: A journal-based database may include items, e.g., organized in a table, associated with a journal. The journal may include a hash-chained set of blocks individually including data representing previous and/or current versions of the individual items. The database may receive a request to redact specific data from the database. The database may search the blocks to determine whether the specific data exists. When the specific data exists in a block of the journal, the database may redate the specific data in the identified block. The database may retain existing metadata of the block such that cryptographic verifiability of the hash-chained blocks may be preserved.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Marc Bowes, Victoria Elizabeth Scearcy, Kritin Gokharu, Eric Justin Kraemer, Junaid Azad Mohammed, Abigail Marie Kuic, Robert McGregor Marrowstone, Steven Michael Hershey, Yosseff Levanoni, Omer Ronen

Patent number: 11853369Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: DOCUSIGN, INC.Inventors: Christina Silva Hamlin, Eric M.

Patent number: 11836140Abstract: A log sampling and storage system reduces volumes of stored log information. A log storage engine receives a series of log messages responsive to a request. The engine compares that series to various patterns previously generated from historical log data. This comparison can reference •a name of the request; •a total time to process the request; •an item count; •a message length; and/or •a message hash code. Comparing incoming log series with the predefined patterns, results in generation of a similarity score. If the score falls outside a tolerance, the existence of an outlier log message series is indicated, and that outlier log message series is stored in its entirety. However, if the similarity score falls within a tolerance, similarity to an existing predefined pattern is indicated. Rather than storing the (non-outlier) log message series, the engine directs storing a link to a sample log message series reflecting the pattern.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Dongqing Hu, Xia Yu

Patent number: 11829374Abstract: Document embedding vectors for each document of a corpus may be generated by combining embedding vectors for document subparts, thereby yielding a final embedding vector for the document. A machine learning model is trained using a query corpus and the document corpus, where the model generates a ranking score for a given (query, document) pair. During training, rankings scores are generated using the model, such that the training dataset is further refined using the generated ranking scores. For example, top documents and a negative document may be determined for a given query and subsequently used as training data. Multiple negative documents may therefore be determined for a given query. A negative document for a given query may be determined from the negative documents using noise-contrastive estimation. Such determined negative documents may be evaluated using a loss function during model training, thereby yielding a more robust model for search processing.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Junaid Ahmed, Li Xiong, Arnold Overwijk, Chenyan Xiong

The error management system searches a class mapping table based on the parsed search query. The class mapping table includes a listing of classes and corresponding links to source code. The error management system searches an error discussion database based on the parsed search query. The error discussion database includes one or more user generated postings regarding programming errors. The error management system provides, to the client device, search results resulting from searching the class mapping table and the error discussion database.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: Kevin Whelan, Ranajay Sen

Patent number: 11816167Abstract: An electronic computing system receives a document and identifies steps for processing the document. Each step is associated with a respective machine learning model trained to generate an output. The system subdivides content of the document into a plurality of chunks. For each step and for each chunk, the system applies the respective machine learning model to the chunk to generate an output and a confidence value. The system compares the confidence value to a threshold value. In accordance with a determination that the confidence value exceeds the threshold value, the system stores the output as final output for the chunk and the step. In accordance with a determination that the confidence value does not exceed the threshold value, the system requests user input for the chunk and the step, and the system stores received user input as final output for the chunk and step.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Ascent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Christopher Allan Doyle, Spencer Thomas Allee, Brian T.
