Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a structured data database and for exchanging electronic files containing unstructured or partially structured data. A system stores first structured data in a database, wherein the structured data represents a property. The system generates an electronic file, including by (a) storing unstructured data in the electronic file, wherein the unstructured data causes a representation of the property to be rendered on a face of a document represented by the file and (b) storing an identifier in the electronic file indicating a location in the database at which the first structured data is stored. The file is transmitted outside the system. Upon receipt of a copy of the file, the system reads the identifier from the copy of the received file and accesses the database location indicated by the identifier read from the received file.

Abstract: A technique leverages a machine-trained pattern-completion engine to successively extract items-of-interest from unstructured data, categorize the items-of-interest, and identify relations in the unstructured data. The technique then generates a structured database based on the information it has identified. In some cases, the items-of-interest represent facts expressed by the unstructured data. The technique also leverages the structured database to perform various application tasks. In one approach, in the course of answering a query, the technique extracts supplemental information from the structured database. The technique then feeds the query and the supplemental information to the pattern-completion engine, and, in response thereto, receives output information that addresses the query. In some cases, the query is part of lengthy prompt information.

Abstract: Example solutions read compressed data from a file in persistent storage, directly into an in-memory store without decompression. Some examples transcode the compression scheme used by the file into the compression scheme used by the in-memory store whereas, in other examples, the in-memory store is compatible with the compression scheme used by the file. In some examples that use transcoding, radix clustering is used to speed up compression dictionary transcoding. The radix clustering minimizes cache misses, thereby increasing the efficiency of memory access. These approaches significantly improve cold start times when responding to queries.
