  • Patent number: 11755539
    Abstract: A big data processing method based on direct computation of compressed data. The method includes 1) compressing, based on a modified Sequitur compression method, original input data according to a smallest compression granularity given by an user, and transforming them into a directed acyclic graph, DAG, consisting of digits; and 2) determining an optimal traversal pattern, and performing a top-downward traversal or a bottom-upward traversal on the DAG in the step 1) based on the determined optimal traversal pattern so as to enable direct processing of the compressed data. By providing a modified Sequitur algorithm and top-downward and bottom-upward traversal strategies in the disclosure, direct processing of compressed data is enabled, significant improvement in time and space has been gained with broad applicability, and certain representations with respect to more advanced document analytics can still be derived on the basis of these.

  • Patent number: 11704317
    Abstract: A partial group by operator is a group by operator that implements a fallback mechanism. The fallback mechanism is triggered whenever memory pressure reaches a certain threshold. When the fallback mechanism is triggered, a row is included in an output of the partial group by operator without including an aggregation value for a grouping value for the row to an aggregation data structure. A final group by operator computes a final aggregate value of all results, including pre-grouped results and passed through results, from the partial group by operator.

  • Patent number: 11663278
    Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying job search queries for improved precision using a machine-trained classifier are provided. In example embodiments, a network system receives a job search query including one or more terms from a device of a user. The network system extracts one or more features from the job search query, whereby the one or more features are derived from the one or more terms. Based on the one or more features, a machine-learned model of the classifier determines whether to use a title field search process or a compound search process. Based on the determining, the network system formats the job search query into a corresponding machine-language format and performs the job search query to derive results. The network system causes presentation of the results on the device of the user.

  • Patent number: 11630849
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, computer program product, and method to merge two or more heterogeneous datasets. Seed attributes of each dataset that is the subject of the merge are identified. The seed attributes are derived from candidate attributes of the respective datasets. A correlation is assessed to create a set of mergeable attributes and a set of non-mergeable attributes. A cohesiveness characteristic is leveraged to iteratively identify one or more attributes from the set of non-mergeable attributes, and to amend the set of mergeable attributes with the one or more attributes identified in the set of non-mergeable attributes. A merged dataset based on the amended set of mergeable attributes and representing non-trivial similarities between the first and second dataset is formed as output.

  • Patent number: 11593311
    Abstract: An electronic device, including a compression subsystem with a comparator, a history buffer, a match detector, and a command generator, performs operations for generating compressed data from original data. The compression subsystem, starting in each cycle of a clock, processes a search string that is copied from original data to generate commands for compressed data. For processing each search string, the comparator compares each of N substrings from the search string with stored data from the history buffer to find matches between the substrings and the stored data. The match detector then determines a longest match for each of the substrings. The command generator next selectively outputs commands for the compressed data based on the longest matches for the substrings.

  • Patent number: 11593225
    Abstract: A method and system for live-mounting database backups. Specifically, disclosed method and system entail recovering database data—in entirety or at any granular level—without needing to provision storage resources for point-in-time database copies (i.e., backup database data), or without needing to wait for large amounts of data, representative of the point-in-time database copies, to traverse a network from backup storage to a target device. Substantively, through live-mounting, the physical point-in-time database data, as well as the associated structural metadata, may be retained on backup storage while a pointer-based snapshot, mapping to the physical point-in-time database data and structural metadata, may be generated thereon. Thereafter, a file system—mapping to the pointer-based snapshot on the backup storage—may be mounted on the target device, which exposes an interface through which the backup database data may be accessed and/or manipulated using a distributed file system protocol.

  • Patent number: 11556537
    Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to executing queries on tables in which one or more columns contain a single value. Upon execution of a query, columns in which a single value is contained are identified, and a pre-compiled code entry containing relevant identifying information is compiled as part of a query execution plan. The query execution plan is used for subsequent query executions, alleviating the need to access the columns during the subsequent query executions that involve the columns. A fingerprint value may be used to track if changes to relevant tables occur.
