  • Patent number: 12045264
    Abstract: A connected device at a client network implements a local data classification service for classifying data based on a data classification service of a remote provider network. The local data classification service receives a request to classify data at one or more data sources of the client network. The request is initiated from a client device of the client network according to a management interface for a data classification service of a remote provider network (e.g., using the same API request used by the remote classification service). The local data classification service obtains at least some of the data from the one or more data sources of the client network. The local data classification service classifies the obtained data according to different types of sensitivity using the data classification engine in the execution environment without the data being exposed outside of a data isolation boundary of the client network.

  • Patent number: 12045218
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a unified multilayer-based index for a contextual geoanalytics engine in a data analytics system. The contextual geoanalytics engine is configured to aggregate point-of-interest geographical data from multiple data sources into an aggregate or composite dataset. The contextual geoanalytics engine then transforms and maps the data into a homogenous dataset—i.e., a location embedding record that is homogenous representation of an aggregated dataset—comparable across global geographical regions. The homogenous dataset is accessible via the unified multilayer-based index that is a single geographical index, where the homogenous dataset is a composite of different datasets. The data includes different data types, where the data types are stored in different layers while sharing a common index (i.e., unified multilayer-based index).

  • Patent number: 12038974
    Abstract: A system and method for technology analysis utilizing high-performance, scalable, multitenant, dynamically specifiable, knowledge graph information storage and utilization. The system uses an in-memory associative array for high-performance graph storage and access, with a non-volatile distributed database for scalable backup storage, a scalable, distributed graph service for graph creation, an indexing search engine to increase searching performance, and a graph crawler for graph traversal. One or more of these components may be in the form of a cloud-based service, and in some embodiments the cloud-based services may be containerized to allow for multitenant co-existence with no possibility of data leakage or cross-over. The system uses a cyber-physical graph to represent an enterprise's cyber-physical system and can provide graph analysis, graph security, and graph fusion related tasks to identify potential operational risks.

  • Patent number: 12038896
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and utilizing search indexes with different properties to provide efficient and flexible means for retrieving and ranking high-dimensional content. A first index and a second index are generated with a different sets of properties, which may include a permutation prefix length and a vector quantization scheme, and are each associated with a computational workload. Further, at least one index structure may be created with a posting list associated with a permutation prefix and a set of references, rather than only a permutation prefix, to balance out posting lists of variable lengths within the index. Another embodiment of the disclosure provides for expansion of search results at search time, rather than during indexing, by retrieving posting lists associated with shorter permutation prefix after an initial list is determined to have insufficient recall.

  • Patent number: 12032514
    Abstract: Adaptive matching is provided, which is used to automatically match a block size of a transactional file system with an IO size of a client. An example method includes creating a share domain, wherein the share domain is created on a first file system, and a block size of the first file system is a first block size. The method further includes determining a block size of the share domain as a second block size, wherein the second block size is not equal to the first block size. If a block size of a second file system is the second block size, the share domain is migrated from the first file system to the second file system. By implementing the present application, it is possible to simplify user operations, improve operational convenience, and help to reduce storage space fragments and indirect blocks, thereby further improving the performance of a storage system.

  • Patent number: 12020209
    Abstract: As digital assets are created and shared, design components that comprise those digital assets are curated, organized, and tracked so as to allow meaningful relationships to be established between shared assets and design components. The tracking that underlies such relationships is provided by metadata associated with a given design component. This metadata may include information such as an asset identifier that identifies a source digital asset from which the design component was extracted; a version identifier that identifies a version of the source digital asset; an author identifier that identifies an author of the source digital asset; and a layer identifier that can be used to reveal the context in which the design component was derived from the source asset. This metadata allows relationships to be established between a design component and the digital assets that incorporate that design component, thus facilitating asset and component tracking and update notification broadcasting.

  • Patent number: 12020211
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program code for performing a human resource operation using a context-independent conversational flow. The computer system receives an intended human resource operation from an application executing on a user device, identifies the context-independent conversational flow for performing an intended human resource operation, and calls a structured data object according to the context-independent conversational flow. The computer system interprets the structured data object to produce a business rule output, and generates a context-independent response from the business rule output. The computer system transforms the context-independent response according to a user context to produce a context-specific response, and forwards the context-specific response to a user device for display within a conversational user interface of an application.

  • Patent number: 12019671
    Abstract: Digital content search techniques are described. In one example, the techniques are incorporated as part of a multi-head self-attention module of a transformer using machine learning. A localized self-attention module, for instance, is incorporated as part of the multi-head self-attention module that applies local constraints to the sequence. This is performable in a variety of ways. In a first instance, a model-based local encoder is used, examples of which include a fixed-depth recurrent neural network (RNN) and a convolutional network. In a second instance, a masking-based local encoder is used, examples of which include use of a fixed window, Gaussian initialization, and an adaptive predictor.
